Question

Well, I am hoping cowboys will win.

However i heard some comment on TV last year grand final that all favourites (at ATS) go on to a win. Never under dog has won ???

Can someone confirm if this is true.

Currently Brisbane is -1

These 2 teams played 3 weeks ago in the first semi up in Brisbane in front of 50k Broncos supporters. Broncos have been dynamite at home.

It was 2 tries each, the difference was goal kicking.

Morgan had a shocker that night as he was coming back from an ankle injury.

The Cows blew 2 certain tries.

Now, the game is at a neutral venue (not Brisbane's home ground), Morgan has now 3 games under his belt and looked like he is back to his best after last week.

The Cows forward pack should monster the Broncos pack imo.

Cows for mine.

The favorite is 7-1 SU in the last 8 GF&#x27;s played, last dog to win was the Broncos in 2006.Wayne Bennett (Brisbane coach) is 7-0 SU in Grand Finals in his career.Couple of ominous trends against the Cows.Still can&#x27;t believe they let that grub Hodges play. Good player but fcuking dirty.

Pound for pound the Cows are the better team but it will come down to execution.

Broncos execute in unison so well. Definition of team with everyone playing for one another.

Cows have X-Factor across the park which includes the best player in the NRL.

Gonna be a great game. A true GF, not like these lopsided affairs in recent years. Both teams actually deserve to be there for once.

Didn&#x27;t Bennett lose with Canberra against Manly in 1987?

&#xD;&#xA;yep, coached with Don Furner but I&#x27;m not sure who was &#x27;head tactician&#x27; or whether they coached the side jointly.

absolutely agree with your assessment 100%,dude....outrite physical talent/skills and all round game the cowboys hold the whip hand.....but i think the tired old cliche' of the side that makes least errors and defends the best wins,plus if thurston is gimpy and cant kick as brilliantly as normal then parker has an edge in goal kicking too.....especially if feldt or sumone has to take over,that wud/cud be disastrous for cowboys....green has a bright future seemingly but again bennett has the edge in terms of proven record for pushing peoples buttons and motivating them.

The thing I like about the Cowboys is that they have the best away record this season out of any team. I will be on the Cowboys come Sunday. Bennett being 7-0 in GF&#x27;s is a little worrying but I don&#x27;t like Milford under the big occasion. JT has played in many big origin games/deciders but Hunt and Milford have no experience whatsoever. Even the forward pack of Tamou and Scott against the Broncos forwards have more big game experience. Obviously Parker is a beast for the Broncos with his workload and offloads but I think its time for the Cowboys to win their first GF ever.

all trends gotta come to an end so ya can look at it both ways....bennett probably wont go undefeated his whole career(dependent on how long he sticks at it of course) so he definitely due a loss....also,look back at every team hes taken to a premiership,it is pretty clear he had the superior side in outrite talent on almost every single ocassion(sum of them it was a downright mis-match,early dragons/broncos finals) so it shudnt be too shocking that he has a strong record...one wonders if he took this group to a final against a team like this current cowboys outfit wud he be 7-1??...hell no is my guess.

and whilst of course brisbane will be 100% desperate to win it and will go all out there is sumthing to be said for a team that has an in built "excuse" or reason for failure shud they come up short...obviously they have far,far exceeded anyones wildest expectations already and by all accounts are considered a team building to make a big push next year and following seasons......whilst on the other hand we all know the cowboys have been on the brink for a cupple seasons at least and have had their years cut short in the cruellest of ways so it will burn inside them to want to get it done.they are,in a sense,due and ready.

smells like an epic contest potentially.

Nearly game time boys. Just locked cowboys to win @ $1.95 . I hope refs r on cowboys too

Rostos · Answer

All comes down to which team bothers to turn up and doesn&#x27;t get stage fright.&#xD;&#xA;The last 10 GFs have been pretty ordinary in  terms of closeness towards the end.
