Up the mighty cowboys...how about this for defying stats:
1. The broncos haven't been kept scoreless since 2001
2. This is only the 3rd time this year that the Broncos have lost away from home
3. This is the first time the cowboys have EVER beaten the broncos

can't see them repeating there preformance against the roosters though...

Chuck

Go the Cowboys!!! The place is buzzing up here in Nth Queensland. You're right. It will be damn tough to beat the Roosters, but this side is only getting better.

They are flying the cowboys, great to see one Brisbane team is beatable.
Momentum is a huge factor in any type of footy. Back the cowboys at the ridiculus odds that will be on offer next week!!

I don't think any team could play any worse than the broncos and the cowboys only scored the one try when the chaser was a mile offside.
The broncos were awefull ..Tallis the most overatted player ever to put on footy boots was non existant. Webke gave his usual 200% but had to do the defensive work for bludgers like tallis and carlaw..
Lockyer behind a pack that didnt go forward tried but had no room and bad service from a hopeless dummyhalf and fillin halfback.
Tonie carrol has to realise sure he can smash people in defense but he still has to do a hit up once in a while.

But the Cowboys were awesome in defense they were so commited and they deserved the victory.

What was i thinking backing the broncos ...first and last time ever. hopeless bunch of overpaid shielas.

Huh? What were you watching Mav? That's not your wallet talking, is it? From the camera angle that they had, they certainly couldn't call him offside.

Personally, my system worked again with two bets this week, Cowboys (+3.5) and Geelong (+30.5). I really have absolutely no idea why the Broncos were favourites last night.

Hang on, yes I do no why they were favourites. Because the bookies totally over-rate the Broncos, just like most of the so called 'experts'.

I think anyone whos played footy and anyone who has watched enough racing finshes with weird camera angles could tell he was atleast 2feet offside.
imagine if it was a broncos try,,i somehow doubt it would of been awarded.
nothing to do with my pocket Sporty i only lost $20 i'm still getting the hang of this sportsbetting. still finding it tough to find any value in it but i'm still looking :smile:

Must disagree. If Myles was in front of him it was extremely marginal and not enough to call offside. You must remember, they usually go with the attacking side these days. Unless someone is blatantly and obviously offside they usually let it pass.

Anyway, as you said, the Broncos were pretty inept. The Cowboys defence was good but they're going to face a MUCH bigger challenge next week.
