Great game from the Cowboys, got some good points for my fantasy comp with Harris running in 2 tries and 4 goals from Witt, goals are guarenteed from Witt especially at home. The Warriors need to start picking it up away from home if they are to be a force.

Despite my tipping I was quite thrilled to hear about this win. It was nice to see the Cowboys make it through a rather poor form slump.

Tough break Warriors.

It's not that because he is a big guy, it's all the sh*t about him being error prone, crap under the high ball etc.

They've no f**king clue.


Congrats Cowboys, clearly too good.

Yeah, I feel sorry for Manu. Ever since the Parramatta game last year he is now targetted just about every match. If he makes one error regardless of whether other wingers would do the same or not, he gets criticised. He'd be the first winger I'd pick for the Kiwi side.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Well done, Cowboys. Just goes to show what a side with a decent halfback can do.

Rovelli = Schooled, Owned & Pwned

WTF is with our away form??? Absolute sh*thouse.

Not looking forward to the Titans game. I feel another drubbing coming on.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Damn you, insomnia-causing Warriors!!!

IMO the Warriors need to seriously think about going to the market to replace Rovelli...the pairing with Witt is not working and if there is no cohesion in these positions then the Warriors are always going to struggle away from home.

Bowen brilliance sparks Cowboys carnage
Written by: Ben Robinson; April 19th, 2008 10:11pm

An earlier-than-expected return from injury by Matt Bowen has sparked the North Queensland Cowboys to put in their most dominant performance of the year so far, dismantling the Warriors 48-20.

The mercurial fullback capped off a fine game with a hat trick of tries in the nine try-to-three rout that raised $12,000 for Rugby League's One Community charity.

Bowen's partner in crime Jonathan Thurston put in an equally dominant performance, teasing and tearing apart the Warriors defence with his full repertoire of skills, and placing Queensland selectors in two minds as to who to pick at halfback, with fellow statesman Scott Prince also in fine form.
