[kia ora storm]

Cows by 14...

 

[BDR]

We got dis 13+

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If the Cows find a way to lose this, you can write the top 4 off for them.

Even so, they should get up by 12.

 

[MaxPower]

Panthers by 20.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Cowboys by 12

 

[Charlie124]

f**k, who knows?

Pineapple.

 

[Misanthrope]

Penrith are probably in better form, but I'll give the Cows the edge at home. Cowboys by 8.

 

[Whoosh]

Cowboys 13+

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Cows at home by 10 but they've been buggering my tips.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Lui in for Morgan

I'd just about swap benji for rob back ATM

 

[Charlie124]

Yep, lui is in for Morgan, also Ant Mitchell is in with Scott Moore dropped. I'm liking both of these changes although I'm still a big fan of Morgan, he's not in good form and lui deserves his shot.

 

[Ianc]

I don't think the players we've had have been the wrong players but I hope these changes act as a kick up the ass for the 17.
Keen to see if Lui can bring his Q Cup form to the NRL.

 

[Charlie124]

Moore has been the wrong player, and while I still rate Morgan highly he's not in good form at the moment so if he goes back to ressies and plays like we know he can I'd be happy to see him back soon.

I'm glad Henry is seeing when something's not working and is prepared to make the changes necessary rather than picking the same blokes. I really think our go forward has been greatly hampered by Moore so far, he doesn't have that speedy explosive run out of dummy half like Payne and Seggs had, Mitchell does plus I think he's a more skilful player and suits our style better.

 

[lockyno1]

So now Henry wakes up and realises Lui is better...only taken him FOUR WEEKS!

 

[Ianc]

I think Moore has potential but is struggling. I like his running game but I agree with you Charlie that he has hampered our go forward. His passing is terrible. Some time in Q Cup should sort that.
This will contradict what I have just said but I think long term Thompson & Mitchell are our best hooker combo, Lui in 7 & Morgan at 13.
