[Desert Qlder]

It's fairly safe to assume Tonga will not play any part in this match. Resting Matt Scott would probably be appropriate also for NQ considering the toiling work he endured on Wednesday.

Neil Henry has a little bit of flexibility there as he has quite a settled group of forwards at present. There are no other injury dramas and all are in form. Personally I'd like to see Ashton Sims be given the start, he's been getting through enormous work of late and is powering through the advantage line regularly.

Hard to predict an outcome for this match, the bye can be a blessing or a curse. Thurston has form backing up from rep encounters so knowing this I'm going to tip North Queensland in a tight one. His influence and a concerted forward display should get them home.

 

[Paullyboy]

Who would replace Tonga?

 

[elyod138]

Who would replace Tonga?

Probably Will Tupou.

 

[Shorty]

It depends on the prep, we really had a roll on and I'm worried our momentum has stopped.
Roosters have been cactus and we're at home with Thursty backing up so we should get the win.

 

[EvolutionUber]

Hopefully pengi.

 

[kia ora storm]

Do it for Sammy Faust...Cows by 8.

 

[Timmah]

Faust's name and playing number will appear on the Cowboys' jerseys for the remainder of the year. Home jersey (on the left) tonight.

 

[abpanther]

Any news on who will be replacing Tonga?

 

[adamkungl]

Come on Easts!

Carney and Pearce to have blinders.

 

[Geohood]

Dno what to expect.

I still have last year's team in my mind when backing us... But have been disappointed plenty of times this year and no where near where we were last year yet so who knows! Hopefully we click..

 

[Big Pete]

Any news on who will be replacing Tonga?

The report I read stated there are two options

1. Cooper will drift out onto the centre with Tariq Sims starting and Leeson Ah Mau coming onto the bench.

2. Will Tupou in as a straight swap.

They should sell replicas and donate the money to the family...I would buy one.

I would've thought Bolton would start ahead of Sims

 

[Whoosh]

Cowboys by 14

 

[Jason Maher]

Cowboys by as many as they want.

 

[Charlie124]

We should win this game, but no Cows fans ever dare to bank the 2 points before kickoff as it always ends in tears.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

The Cows should do this easy.

I like the way they are playing.

Looking forward to Tariq Sims smashing those great pretenders from Bondi.

Roosters would have to be up there with Canberra as the biggest busts in 2011.
