[Different kind of Rabbit]

Huh? That was forward yet the pass in the lead up to the last try wasn't?

 

[chrisD]

And that ball was fine. If soccer linesmen can get offsides right 9 out of 10 our touchies should be able to get forward passes right.

Lol Keating.

Lol Keating.

At least the touchies are making calls for once. Good to see IMO

 

[Vic Mackey]

Few poor options in that set from thurston, I guess he is human

 

[Evenflow]

When did Inu become such a grub? He's been awful this game.

Has been for quite a while now.

 

[blacklock]

Holy f**k Trent Barrett is so monotone and boring. Shut him up

just like his style of play when he was in my team. give me soward over him any day of the week

 

[Ladmate]

Jeez those Bulldogs plays look ordinary without Barba there.

 

[blacklock]

If that counts as Tamou's obligatory brainsnap per game, I'm pretty happy tbh ;-)

i backed the cows for this game... i can tell you when he did that, i may or may not have insulted him and his mother lol

Life will be hard without Barba's arse to pull points out of.

 

[Sleep]

The Bulldogs desperately need some halves. The end to their sets has been really, really average. Without Barba they have zero spark.

 

[blacklock]

I got cowboys 1-12, I hate backing teams 1-12, I am on edge the entire game

you should be fine the cowboys have shut down. theyre just coasting. so the result should be ok.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Seems to be the same issue as last year for the dogs. When the game is on the line and they need a big play from the halves, they fail to deliver.

Didn't look like scoring in the second half.

Btw how good a job did Linnett do on trex!?! I really think he is next in line for nsw center after jennings/morris

 

[BranVan3000]

Lol Dogs halves are abysmal

 

[East Coast Tiger]

How shit is Williams? Buying him, and for so much money, could be one of the worst decisions they could have made. Every time he gets it he kills the play. He actually lines tacklers up so he can run into them.

 

[IanG]

Also in commentary they said Scott Moore was the first Englishman to play for the Cowboys. I take it Johnothan Davis isn't counted as such. Yeah I know he's Welsh but non the less

 

[BDR]

Well considering that Wales isn't part of England, no I guess he isn't counted.

Great to get the first W on the board, Dogs need something or someone to boost their attack, both their tries were extremely fortunate IMO.

 

[Charlie124]

Very happy with the result, game was a little scrappy in parts but expected for the first match of the season. Scott Moore didn't show a whole lot IMO but ill reserve further judgement for a few weeks. Linnett and Tate were outstanding tonight, each saved our skins on a few occasions. Bowen had a few nice touches but otherwise had a fairly quiet game by his standards. Our forwards were outstanding overall without any one player shining above the rest.

On the dogs, T-Rex deadset needs to give his money back... Did anyone else realise tonight that the term "we'll contained" always seems to be thrown about by commentators with him. The halves lacked any creativity or direction and they reaaaaaaally missed barba tonight.

Cowboys have got dis 26-12

Nearly

 

[Danny-Boy]

Also noticed how good Manly was on both sides of the field without him. For $650,000 you would expect more. They would have been better off putting that money towards a quality half.

Why was this played at Bluetongue?
