Cowboys, you disgust me. :evil:
Last Saturday you had the golden chance to keep your slim playoff hopes alive. You had a week off. You had the home ground advantage. You were playing against the team with the 13th best defense in the NRL. You had six players with Origin or Test experience in your line-up. And yet, the performance you dished up for your long-suffering fans on Saturday night was worse than crap. Worse than absymbal. Worse than atrocious. Worse than my spelling.
You lost the game on the field but you also lost it in your heads. Newcastle are just another football team with seventeen people.
I was going to do the mad dash down to Townsville and back in two weeks time to see you guys beat Souths. Now not even that is certain. I might save my petrol money based on last week's performance.
The most disappointing thing is that based on Saturday's result, we haven't gone anywhere since 1995. In fact, we appear to be going backwards. Any team that concedes nearly fifty points in a half deserves to have some very harsh questions asked of them.
Not even the sides of 1995-99 (with household names such as Puddington, Howarth, Warren) conceded fifty points in a half of football. They must feel very comfortable about their place in Cowboys history now!
Listening to you guys on the radio used to be a ritual, an integral part of my weekend. Now it seems like bashing my head in with a sledgehammer would be more enjoyable, and certainly more benefical in the long term the way we are going.
If this sounds harsh, I don't give the tiniest shit. You have had nine years to get your act together. It seems we can train gorillas to read in nine years, but we can't teach footballers to catch footballs and tackle!
