    2016 backline power rankings

    1. Coote 2. Feldt 3. O'Neill 4. Linnett 5. Winterstein 6. Morgan 7. Thurston I know it's a premiership winning backline but I honestly don't think it's the best in the comp. I do, however, think we have the best spine and best forward pack in the comp, and that makes up for it somewhat...

    Phil Rothfield- Nine Sydney teams is too many

    We should just merge all the western sydney teams into one. You know: a "Greater Western Sydney" team...

    Congratulations Cowboys

    Thanks for all the congrats guys. The cowboys forum here is a little quiet, but a whole bunch of us over at the stampede are ecstatic. Also, a special thank you to the Broncos fans with class who came here and congratulated us. You guys played well and it went right down to the wire. Great...

    Clean out required

    May need to start with the coach then. Neil Henry is NOT great at developing junior talent and prefers to sign journeymen and over-the-hill players. That said - if you're having a proper cleanout and have money to spend, he's good at filling the roster up with value-for-money players. When he...

    Congratulations Cowboys

    Wow, I guess we're everyone's second team this weekend?

    Robbie Farrah in Ricky Stuarts 2016 plans?

    Out of curiosity, what if Ricky is thinking of signing Farah as a halfback? Farah basically plays that way at the moment, just from hooker. He has his entire career. He's got a good kicking and passing game and can lead a team around the park. Not much of a running game anymore, but you have...

    Constant bagging of the standard of footy

    We had close to $2.5m of our salary cap missing from that game, including our 3 best halves and 3 best front rowers. So not only did we have to play with makeshift halves, they also had no go forward to work with. Given the circumstances, I'm proud of the way they played and defended so...

    Queensland team?

    Yep, I think that Gillett has more natural ability than the others, but he hasn't shown it at rep level, or consistently at club level yet either. Yeah, I agree DCE (and probably Ben Hunt) outclass Morgan in playmaking ability at this stage. But do you want a specialist halfback on the...

    All Queensland Grand Final more likely now than it ever has been

    I'd love to see an all-QLD grand final. Failing that, I'd just like to see a grand final with no sydney clubs in it. I could handle Broncos v Warriors for instance or Raiders v Storm. Just for something different you know? After listening to the Sydney media wank themselves silly over the past...

    Queensland team?

    Club bias aside...I think Queensland could do a lot worse than pick Gavin Cooper and Michael Morgan. Coops plays 80 mins and has an awesome combination with Thurston that's been going for years. Plus Coops is ultra consistent, very competitive, and a shitload more talented than Chris f**king...

    Paul Kent: NRL salary cap isn't working

    The salary cap is working well. Manly has been dominant for a very long time and something had to give eventually. The Melbourne storm were the other dominant team of the noughties. Even though they got done for cheating the cap, it's a testament to the skill of their coaching and recruitment...

    saints after Robert Lui

    You can have him. He's probably played his last game for the Cowboys until Origin anyway. Would happily swap him for Widdop.

    NRL explores idea of reducing interchange for 2016

    When did the NRL bring in a rule change that was NOT intended to "speed the game up"? Reducing the interchanges will just make teams consist of 1 halfback and 16 backrowers. There will be a lot more focus on boring, safety-first football and dummy half running. What makes the game exciting is...

    Jason Taumalolo

    Dream, he's got a point about Coote though. There's definitely an argument that Morgan is better at fullback and Lui is better at 5/8. So there's really no reason to be paying good coin to a player like Coote who is conceivably going to be playing QLD Cup all season. Yes, we may need to...

    Souffs are claiming to have invented touch footy

    Maybe they did. Not much tackling going on here... http://youtu.be/bOy4lkc1Hzg

    Albert Kelly gone

    Just watch. Neil Henry will sign some bog average, over-the-hill half from England as the replacement instead of developing junior talent. The man knows how to spot promising young forwards, but that's about it. At the Cowboys he tried these players in the halves: - Travis Burns...

    Brent Tates career maybe over

    Sad end to a great career. I have a lot of time and respect for Tate, he's a true professional and one tough bastard. I really hope the Cowboys keep him around in some sort of off-field capacity. Even with all his injuries, I still think he has a lot to offer in terms of culture and mentoring...

    Qld team moving forward

    Probably time for a changing of the guard. A lot of our players just looked a little bit older and slower out there so far in this origin series. At the very least, GI needs to be fullback and we need some new centres - a position we have very little depth in. the third dead rubber match...

    Where should the NRL relocate the Raiders?

    The Raiders are in dire need of a cleanout, specifically at the top. Get rid of Furner and his old boys club and bring in some newer, younger management. Todd Greenberg would have been perfect. Then, either go all out for a big-name coach (Bennett, Hasler, Bellamy) or sign a rookie...
