Cowboys by 16.

Cowboys easily

[THE RED ROOSTER]

I do not envy Justin Holbrook, I saw Gold Coast's First game on TV down at Canberra and Gold Coast were really ordinary. If Cowboys dont win by a clear 20 its a shock.

[Copa]

Life is good.

The NRL is on TV and multiple pizza companies are sending special Friday footy deals to my phone.

[Hela Wigmen]

It’s surprising that the Cowboys have only had 81% possession here. Titans have been good in defence but repeat sets and errors take their toll. 

[EastLondonMike]

Following a similar trend to yesterdays game, early doors.

[Hela Wigmen]

WHAT. A. TRY. 

Superb solo effort there from Brian Kelly. 

[dkw]

Holy ######, what a step and try.

A beauty!

I wonder how long its going to take a team to realise if you strip the ball illegally after a '6 again', a penalty will be given and allow a team a bit of a breather..

Though that is a very negative approach i know, and not in the spirit of the game.

[Hela Wigmen]

Hope we bring in the six again rule. Much faster and exciting games. 

[Copa]

I like how the fake crowd booed the captain’s challenge decision..

Ha ha, that made me laugh too.

Titans are their own worst enemy at times.

They make some terrible mistakes at times, its annoying as they have been much better this game in general play. It's like theirs just something wrong in the whole clubs mentality. 

[Copa]

So my kayo sports has just logged me out and I’m struggling to get back in... fortunately it’s half time 

[Hela Wigmen]

I can see why Holbrook doesn’t want Taylor on the ball much.

So what does it look like? NRL in empty stadiums? Must be like watching 1895 cup at Wembley

Like normal for a lot of NRL games in big stadiums but who cares?

More concentration on the game, without the crowd shots. Hardly seen any cutaway shots to the coaching teams, either.

[Dunbar]

If I had my time again I would change my tipping comp prediction of just 2 teams cracking 30 points in this round.

With the new 6 again law and ball in play we will see the dominant teams run up some big scores in the last 20 minutes and scorelines will look like blowouts when the games were pretty competitive.

[Futtocks]

Painful-looking head clash!

[Futtocks]

A Cowboys try worth seeing again. Great hands.

[Lowdesert]

Maybe just me but I don’t see any improvement in that Titans side at all.  Canberra looked rusty and should’ve put more points on them and the Eels slugged them too. 

Cowboys play some good stuff though.
