Please no Sutton or DeKlein

 

[Cook]

Knights to take down the cows. Side note cant believe Cam Smith been outta the game for four years. Life goes too fast

 

[chemdog]

dk why but I have a feeling panthers will be knocked out in straight sets this finals series

 

[ASSASSIN]

dk why but I have a feeling panthers will be knocked out in straight sets this finals series

Because of Cleary's injury cloud?

 

[chemdog]

Because of Cleary's injury cloud?

that's only part of it

 

[ASSASSIN]

I'm calling both Themly and Cowgirls to lose, they both played their GFs against us.

I think the Cowboys destroy the Knights by about 20.

 

[ASSASSIN]

I think the Cowboys destroy the Knights by about 20.

If Ponga is the real deal, they could lose by 20 too.

 

[Freakzilla]

If Ponga is the real deal, they could lose by 20 too.

Cowboys look focused.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Cowboys look focused.

That's the irony though, plenty of cowboys fans saying we had an easy draw and got found out... They have had games against weakened opposition for sooo long now, even lost to the Broncos. Maybe the easy run in helps them, but I think they are overhyped big time when they get challenged and defensive pressure piles on.

I agree but I just saw something in their eyes against us that I hadn’t seen all season.

Agree they were good. But match the positions we had out with theirs - Dearden Cotter, Holmes, Taulagi and Feldt, big reason why they looked so impressive

 

[ASSASSIN]

Cowboys look focused.

IMO we just made them look better than they actually are.

 

[Moey91]

I agree but I just saw something in their eyes against us that I hadn’t seen all season.

All they saw in their eyes was fuckin the flop hutch dropping it and giving intercepts

If we had a full squad we’d be 5th

 

[TwinTurbo]

Not fast enough to see that end of that salary cap rorting arsehole (2 contracts, free boat and diamond ring for his misses).


Team First

[Freakzilla]
