08 :: R2 Sat :: Cowboys 10 Tigers 30 @ Dairy Farmers

[Y2Eel]

Great Game again by Tigers Defense was terrific.. Tigers now my dark horse for top 4

 

[Big Pete]

I don't think the Cowboys should be too upset following this loss. The Tigers are one of their boogey teams and always seem to lift a gear against the Cowboys. I have some doubt over next week especially with Bowen and Thurston coming off shockers, they'll be looking to rip into the wounded Bronco pack.

Credit is due though to the Tigers, good performance from them.

Same, but Souths cost me.

TBH wouldnt have minded seeing a cowboys try under the sticks at 30-10

30-16 brings back oh so many wonderful memories.

Stop it.

...who's still injured and will have no effect on the game

And you are commenting on teams that don't involve yours. I wish you would just f#$ up for once and keep your childish sh*t to yourself. I love the hypocrisy, you bag people out when they don't read earlier posts yet you had no idea the FARRAR I was talking about wasn't the other FARRAH you f$%king dullard.

 

[Timmah]

Why don't you fire up and say f*ck some more.

Last I checked it's a forum and any poster can post in any thread he or she desires. Don't like it, fug up

We'd only ever won up there once before...only ever played well there once last year going down by 1

I live in London and haven't been able to see the games this year so far. I notice our completion for the first 2 games is somewhere around the 80% mark. Are we playing boring safe football or are we still throwing it around?

As long as we maintain 80% completion we'll make the top 4, and I don't need to see a single other game to know it.

Simple answer, no. The difference is we're not forcing passes and playing with greater composure than in recent seasons. I think a quote from Farah earlier in the week summed it up, where he said the team understands they can't always attack their way out of trouble, so they're showing greater patience. When they get the ball in good position though, they look as good as any team and it's good to know there's still improvement.
