    Figured we'd save EWS some bandwidth and put all the comments for all the matches in this one.

    QLD start time - 9.35am
    NSW start time - 10.35am

    SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15
    Game 1. Sharks v Knights – 12.35pm (local time)

    I won't be on here at the time so if people could make a post with each new game in bold, like I did above, that'd be helpful for me and others in terms of navigation.

    Also for those who don't have Foxtel you can sign up for a 14 day trial for Foxtel play, just make sure you cancel your trial before the 14th day otherwise you will be billed.

    http://www.foxtel.com.au/foxtelplay/home/default.htm

    You can stream it onto your PC/MAC, Xbox or Smart TV.

    that schedules wrong it has raiders v warriors twice.
     
  14. Ged GEC King

    14 should be Raiders v Cows I think, not Warriors.
     
  15. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    They could win this whole thing - or they could fail to even get through the group stage. Pool C is very, very tricky.
     
  16. Julian BJ Taylor

    agreed. I put 40 on. if they win it's play money for my trip to Sydney next week.

    reckon it's a shame canberra didn't go full strength. reckon Milford and Robinson would have been one of the better attacking duos in the entire comp.
     
  18. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Not sure who to back in this first one. Could go either way, I reckon.

    Offload's from Gallen and Fifita could be crucial, but the Knights have some ferocious pace in Mullen, Uate and Gagai.
     
  19. Wilson SB Wilson

    Carney and Gardner especially are going to be very dangerous in this format. Gardner is tough to tackle one on one. I can't wait for it.

    This should be exciting.
