'11 | R6 | Sat | Cowboys 26-18 Raiders | Dairy Farmers

[Gaba]

cowboys to have too much firepower

 

[_Johnsy]

Cows should win, but you never know what faiders side will turn up. Cows by no more than 4 if they win, raiders by at least 12 if they get up.

Tilse is travelling with the team after passing a fitness test

 

[Talanexor]

I know you've got to keep the same rules for everybody, but boy I think we'll miss Tamou this week. Ricky Thorby and Ashton Sims just don't do it for me.

 

[Desert Qlder]

I see a really good game here. Sam Williams will make a tremendous difference to the Canberra side who are due to turn around early season poor form. NQ are keen to build a winning culture at home and are brimming with confidence.

The kicking game for NQ and fifth tackle options must continue to improve for them to win this game. Employing tactics to what Wests used against Souths last week may exploit the large Canberra forward pack and tire them out.

There is plenty of points in the Cowboys outfit, they should get the job done.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Should be a cracker, it think the Raiders will really aim up tonight.

Late Mail: Tilse has been added to the bench and Picker will start in the second row. Thurling will drop back to the bench.

Small earthquake this afternoon in Townsville, a bit of shaking. Nothing major.

 

[Didgi]

It was just Tariq warming up.

Tell that to my 8 yr old lol.

My cousin's house in Mackay moved off it's blocks, it's a old house though. I'm 500 klms away from there so it must have covered a wide area.

Tupou is moving onto the bench, replacing Ricky Thorby who was apparently injured as far back as Tuesday. Hopefully we can see him put in a good performance at second row, though with Tamou out we might lose a bit of punch up front.

Former Dragon Ricky Thorby will have to wait to make his debut for the Cowboys, as Will Tupou comes in to replace the injured forward for this Saturday night's match.



Thorby suffered a groin injury during training on Tuesday, ruling him out of football for two weeks after being named on the interchange bench for the Raiders clash.
Will Tupou has been brought into the Cowboys’ squad of 18 for the round six clash at Dairy Farmers Stadium.
Tupou played in the first four matches of the season in the centres before losing his position to Antonio Winterstein.

 

[Dr Crane]

awesome effort but surely not a try.

 

[Dr Crane]

good lesson for ferguson about leading with the knees.

 

[chrisD]

The position he was in I don't see much else he could have done. Cows look really good.

 

[cupid]

Raiders for the spoon

 

[chrisD]

Awful last man defense there.

 

[bileduct]

Raiders are absolute sh*te.

 

[chrisD]

Bowen doing more play making and kicking than JT, and doing it at almost as high a level.

 

[chrisD]

Looked a try live, fantastic effort.

hmmmm bod imo

 

[CowboyFuriousFury]

Hey, unfortunately I won't be able to watch the game my net is at it's limit so I'm super slow atm so radio is a no go. I went to Tom's tavern to watch the game BUT they didn't show it at all instead it all Broncos from the bistro to the bar FFS the staff couldn't work a remote people are leaving and I had enough so play by play is my only way to go.

 

[chrisD]

Hmmm, interesting video ref call here, Thurston tried to pick it up but seems to have kicked it ahead instead...

Try, BOD, very strange, ref said knock on and Raider players seem to have stopped, Thurston looks like he got away with one.

All brought about because Ferguson tried to played the ball quickly and no Raiders got into dummy half.
