To 2 of the best frontrowers in the NRL - Tamou & Scott.
Theres been plenty of talk that they are too old & slow & some (including myself) have previously questioned their aggression & ability to dominate the middle.
They have both answered their critics & are big match players so imo they can do it - only if at their absolute best.
The reason this battle has so much relevance is the fact the Cows gamebreakers JT & Bowen can only weave their magic on the back of the big boppers up front.
Though the Cows have super backrowers including the underrated Cooper & explosive Taumoloulo we have Choc, Trex & Gift who will match ANY backrow.
Whilst everyone raves about the JT /Bowen /Tate as dangers, imo the games result will hinge on Kite & King at least matching these 2 powerhouse props. Given Kite & Kings past records in pressure games they could well do it again to keep our season alive.
