Cows are hard to get a read on for me. I'm not sure they are going as well as it seems.
They flogged the Tigpies but their most recent results have been close or unconvincing against sides with significant outs .
Keen to see them against the Titans today, a genuine mid table side that competes for the most part.
They could be in the 4 by the end of next weekend if Storm lose to the Panthers and they win today and next week which would be remarkable.
Storm play Friday night so potentially Cows are playing us for a top 4 spot.
Even their last game against Panthers potentially is easier than it should be if Penriff rest players as they have done in the past.
Semi finals are here already with the table condensed like it is. 38 points needed to make top 4 so every game matters.
They beat the Storm 45-20.
They beat Panthers 27-23.
They beat Rabbits 31-6 (in Sydney).
Flogged the Tigers.
Beat Manly 19-8, again in Sydney.
Beat a resurgent Eels 24-16.
They will beat the Titans comfortably today, only way they don't is if they're already looking forward to our game next week. Keep that in mind if they're not right on their game this afternoon, they have had next week circled ever since we beat them earlier in the year.
They are a confidence team, and they are flying high. I will not be surprised in the slightest if they give us a touch up. We can't let them get too far in front or they will go on with it.
But I also know that we have the team to rattle them and take home the win, too. And this team of ours doesn't look so panicky when they get behind anymore, because they have the belief that they can score points. It's a genuinely mouthwatering matchup and I can't fucking wait!! It's likely we will meet them again in the course of the finals so this shapes as an important game for our mentality as well as our final ladder position.
