Absolutely no excuses. To lose to a team without their halves and starting front rowers is inexusable. However the tigers were also missing 4 of their usual starting 13 and lost our 1 strike outside back before halftime.

Kinda sounds like you immediately made an excuse for losing...

Why would you play Brooks who is your general (supposed to be at least) at dummy half? If halatau wasn't fit enough to play the 80 there why did you not choose a back up?? If Brooks had been at #7 the whole game, the tigers would have at least scored a try IMO.

Richards must be close to NSW cup, especially considering his kick offs (main strength IMO) aren't as effective as they once were

Richards is a 2005 legend and should be able to leave first grade at the Tigers on his own terms.

Don't go into the tigers forum and dare bag Richards. They think he is some sort of rugby league god

If you have a player who's strength is kicking off, you have a problem.

Theoretically you'd only want him playing his strength once per game.

Farah is in terrible form

Haven't watched that many of your games but what I have seen, he's lost his edge. He's been on the downward spiral for a couple of years & I think his time as NSW hooker should be up.

Hope he performs for the Blues!

Farah is in terrible form and if he was replaced with an actual hooker it wouldn't have been too bad. I believe Taylor irred greatly in not picking cherrington to replace him. Halatau has never, ever been a hooker. His passing game is shocking and he has no kicking game. Farah would have been a million times better then him. That's not the cowboys fault, purely on Taylor and the tigers. Opportunity missed.

This isn't really the point but are you seriously saying woods isn't half the player of Tamou?!?!

The other issue is the leadership and experience lost for the tigers. Without the mentioned guys there we had 3 players over 23 playing tonight. Huge losses in that respect.

Like I said mate full power to the cowboys and truth be known I hope they win the Comp this year.

Taylor probably saw Halatau play 'hooker' during the '05 season where the game plan was quick play the ball dummy half scoot ,with the occasional short offload and thought he had a true 9.

Lowest game in years, the Cowboys took two points when offered and knew they could shut up shop and defend the five one out trundles the Tigers threw at them every set. The Tigers should be fined by the NRL for damaging the image of the NRL.

That was out right appalling game of football with the Tigers by far the main offenders and to make things worse, I was one of the mugs at the game, never again--well at least to after the bye!!!!

If this result was achieved by the Donkeys, the press be using the old Baby Broncos, great against the Odds win cliche.

How f**king terrible was the band on the northern hill that played between games and at half time.

For once, I was glad I didn't sit there.
