Absolute MUST win if we want to challenge for the title. Cowboys are weak in Sydney and we need to take advantage of that.

 

[Barkley]

Hopefully the Belmore crowd can get us over the line. Apart from that I am worried about this game. Finals footy is just around the corner and we need to build some momentum.

Haven't had a lot of success at Belmore in recent times.

Cowboys away record is the only bit of hope I have in this one.

Played 3, Won 1, Lost 2.

Hardly a decent sample size to pass judgment on

My hope is that Des makes them all watch the 36-0 whitewash from start to finish. Then asks them what they are going to do about it and the boys respond with some energy. Damn, win this one and it's likely that we keep our top 4 spot and playign Melbourne whom we seem to have the wood on could see us within one game of the grand final.

The quirky unusual Hasler, the $800 000 a year coach.

We lost to them 36-0 a few weeks ago and this time around closed the gap to 24-16. We were a Tolman fingertip away from changing the game last night too. We've shown we can play better footy earlier in the year, hopefully we show that v Souths next Friday.

biggest game of the season and we only turned up for the first 15 mins

Canterbury really missed Kasiano. Should be interesting to se how they perform in the finals.

Do you think they will win another game this year?
