I wonder if Thurston is back. It will make a big difference to how the cowboys play.

JT is reportedly out for this match. He might miss the Origin opener as well (I doubt it though, these QLDers always make miraculous recoveries come Origin time).

This is it. Tonights the night. No JT and no Matt Scott. If the Bulldogs can't beat this severely weakened Cowboys team, it would be the straw that breaks the 2017 camels back.

 

[Barkley]

I don't think the season is decided in round 10. It's a long way off life or death.

It will be good to see Frawley play the full 80, I think Mbye will be more comfortable taking a back seat

Well... goodbye 2017. That was the worst first half I've seen in a long time. Pathetic.

 

[Timmah]

First half and even the first part of the second was very much a repeat of the Manly game - but the difference was the boys made a solid attempt to right the ship. Too many incomplete sets.

Hold the ball, win the game - simples.

The first half was infuriating to watch. I do think the Holland try should've been given (but knew it wouldn't be), that was just a dive a clear as daylight. I knew from that point on that it wasn't going to be our night. No JT or Scott and the Cowboys still won comfortably.

It's going to take more than Foran and Woods to clean up this mess.

 

[Snoop Shark]

How the hell does Craig Garvey not get a start over Lichaa????

I feel for your mob

Utter bullshit it was a dive. The try should have been awarded I completley agree with you, but Thompson never gave up after he got clipped, he never put his arms up and carried on at the ref he kept playing to the whistle.
