Bring it on …You can do it and hope to be jumping up and down tonight .Much more fun watching this way .

 

[3rdstriker]

Tough game this Cowboys rolling well,
Wouldn’t surprise me a 13+ to them.
But The way we're defending and kicking to the corners makes it interesting.

Why not? You'd only look like NRL refs and bunker and commentary if you do

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Gameday. Let's get it.

Cowboys have the benefit of not having the long trip to Auckland. Still in QLD. Playing well with some gun players in their team.

Whoever runs out for us has a great opportunity to shine on a biggish stage after we shat our pants in round one.

 

[The Undertaker]

Defence wins championships, and only defence will beat the cowboys. Remove time and space from them and pin them in their 20. Maintain discipline and let them figure out plan b (which they aren’t great at doing)

All we need to build is the Wall of Wahs and not give them a sniff. We are good enough to take our opportunities when they come up and if we give them nothing we are a hot chance of winning this game.

To me this game is critical to cement ourselves in the top 3 and take another giant step towards finals footie.

Our big guns come back in a week or so and winning this will do wonders for our confidence for when JFH and DWZ likely come back next week.

The cows are a momentum team. Strangle them and cut off their air and they will soon run out of ideas. Titans had them last week before they imploded - and the cows were good enough to rub salt into the wound by racking up a cricket score in the second half (38 points?!)

The question is can we maintain the control and discipline we have showed? I hope so.

Match of the round but I reckon we get it done on the back of massive ‘home’ support.

Let’s hope we learned from the Vegas trip and don’t choke on the big stage again.

 

[MurrayTD]

It is a cracker blue sky day here with a slight chill in the morning/evening air, will suit us.
If we can contain Drinkwater I think we get the choccies . Farken excited for 5.30pm enjoy one and all.

He can break a line and score a good try can Drinky

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Bit early but here are my predictions without evidence or form.....

Capewell for one try.
Chitty for two tries.
Leka to cause havoc on his edge, therefore Kosi for two tries.
Pompey for one try off a quick spread to Kosi who offloads going for a hat trick to Pompey in support.

4 or 6 off the tee tonight for a 32 - 8 victory and a full Suncorp stadium belting out "WARRIORS" "WARRIORS"

 

[Tookey 2.0]

I think this is the game that we announce ourselves, and cement a top 4 spot.

If we put on a good showing and get the win today I think a lot of people are going to sit up and take notice.

3 of the next 4 game are against teams sitting 10 and lower, with a few of our top players coming back. On top of Origin. I don't want us to get too far ahead of ourselves but 6-2 would be a phenomenal result for the beginning of the year, considering everything we've had to overcome this year.

No Addin, No SJ. Tohu retiring before the start of the year, Walker being named to start one week, pulls out and signs with another team, on top of all the injuries we've had.

Probably the last week we can claim as an ambush, but year of the ambush babyyy

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

I didn’t realise Ali was out, but pretty much no one except 1 or 2 in Aussie media giving us a chance. No pressure on us, all on the cows
