Let's put a cricket score on the cows to boost that +/-. Hopfully Curtis proves us all, me expecially, wrong.
We've seen a lot of the top sides take that attitude into games in recent weeks.
It hasn't faired too well for those that have with a number of upsets and some big scares. Knights discovered last week you can't disrespect your opposition and expect to rattle up a score. Let's not forget Cowboys really tested Panthers a couple of weeks ago.

Well, Perenara is setting the bar for reffing so bloody low in this Roosters/Titans game that he's practically stomped it into the ground, so I really hope whoever we have tonight doesn't try and be worse.

I'm attacking in the right way, instead of just...attacking in the general direction. - Max Aaron (also eerily apropos for the Green Machine)

True. I think given how close so many of our games this year have been, the side is in a default position where they turn up regardless of who they play. NQ are a decent side, even with the injuries.
If we stay composed and control the game I expect us to run away with it in the final 20.

Bit surprised to see Young at Lock. He seems a bit light for that position.
Anyway, excited to see him go. Hope he can keep his aggression in check.
Don't think size is an issue for him and he's a rock solid tackler. Might even be better suited there as doesn't really have the ball skills or line breaking ability of your typical edge back rower.
Now I've said that you can put him down for a double tonight along with 3 try assists.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate. John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
The Canberra Raiders head out onto the ground first, they line up to form a boomerang shape with the Cowboys... here comes the home team. Now for the opening ceremony for Indigenouse Round.

He is the worst running around with a whistle right now. Also SBWs cousin, so possibly giving his cousin next team a quick boost.
I said fire up, not set your socks on fire. Fair dinkum!

3rd min TRY COWBOYS to hooker Reece Robson from dummy half. Goes straight past Dunamis Lui and Jordan Rapana can't stop him. It is off the back of a six again call in the red zone. Kyle Feldt converts from close to the posts.
