Yep, Cowboys are shot. They are all in terrible form. JT did do some good things but if you saw him for the first time last night you'd think he was an OK half back learning his trade.
Morgan ran better from full back but still didn't demand the ball enough. Their forwards are getting mangled, Scott is out of it but Hess not good enough either. Taumololo is good, but just good, he was brilliant last year. Most their backs look slow and past it.
Bottom 4 for sure (I agree Dogs, Eels and Titans likely other bottom 4).
Storm look like we did last year. Maybe the hangover is a thing. They are disjointed and half arsed about things, which is not at all like them. They have moment when they look like champions, but will probably do what we did last year which is make about 5th and look underwhelming as they are bundled out of the finals.
Tigers and Raiders are the only teams outside the 8 that I think might be able to get in, and Raiders are soft so will get thumped out of a tough final if they make it.
