Round 16 Vs The Cowboys

[Fangs]

I imagine Martin will get some treatment if he gets a game. The Cowboys might be better served with him skipping this one.

Thurston v Moylan is going to be a great battle.

Thurston should really test Moylan in defence. Who will be running on the right side for the Cowboys? Cooper, Lowe or Hess?

 

[Blues Riff]

I reckon Kikau would be under a lot of pressure to keep his spot.

Nothing a can of spray-glue on each hand won't fix.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I'll be surprised if the cowboys risk Thurston, they've improved immensely playing without him & it's a pretty quick turnaround and a long flight.

 

[martielang]

True but i'd imagine he'd want to play his 300th game at home.

He'll be there. 300th plus he's had plenty of time off.

Thurston having shoulder problems right now in origin, seems a very long shot now.

Yeah it was ominous looking.

 

[Fangs]

Thurston must be highly unlikely.

6.Martin
7.Morgan

Should make for an interesting 80

apparently thurston left in a sling

That sucks. I would have wanted us to be tested against him.

I don't care we need the 2 points !

I would rather a scrappy win against a depleted Cowboys team than a valiant loss against their full squad.

Depends in how you view the big picture. Scraping into the 8 means Griffin stays and that's not a good thing

since when is not making the 8 good? Hitler could be coach for all I care if we win games

yep. 2 points is all I care about atm

The squad is pretty stacked and we should be in a position to win the comp. Not sure we can win with our coach, some better signs lately but we haven't beaten anyone of note. The slow starts are a massive issue that squarely on Griffin

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

No Chance Thurston plays, but Cows have been much better this year than in the past when he isnt playing. They are a genuine top 8 team with or without him.

They have some back ups, we are fresh and on a winning run. We can finally put to bed the 'havent beaten a top 8 team' if we play like we have been of late.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

All we have to do to win this game is shut down Taumalolo and their rampaging forwards. Harder said than done.

 

[Panfas]

Trent Merrin should be up for this game

We play like we did against the raiders and I daresay the cows will do us fairly easily.
