2010 Week 1: v Cowboys. What's your team?

[Talanexor]

Revised Cowboys side
1. Ty Williams
2. Michael Bani
3. Ashley Graham
4. Willie Tonga
5. John Williams
6. Grant Rovelli
7. Jonathan Thurston
8. Carl Webb
9. Aaron Payne
10. Mat Scott
11. Steve Southern
12. Scott Bolton
13. Luke O'Donnell

14. Anthony Watts
15. Steve Rapira
16. Willie Mason
17. James Tamou

Wow, that looks almost identical to the Cowboys side that sucked last season...

Surely it's time for Neil Henry to blood some youngsters. I wouldn't mind seeing Obe Geia given a spot over Bani, or Ray Thompson over Rovelli. I agree Henry will probably stick with Graham in the centres (at least for the first few rounds) because of his experience; therefore I hope he's improved out of sight since last season.

Maybe you should read some reports about your side before you judge Tale.

Cowboys have a very very good forward pack. Our forwards will have to be superb for us too get up IMO. I ain't going to lie I am a little worried about the first round

Eh, I don't rate their forward pack too highly.

It does have the potential to be superior to ours but that's all that there is, potential.

Mat Scott is one dimensional and slow. Good player if he has support around but hardly somebody I'd flog myself silly about.

Carl Webb is a mere shadow of his former self. The man has talent but he just needs to stick with the basics for the time being. Otherwise, just like last year he'll be nothing more than a liability.

Southern is the token club player that gains selection despite offering nothing of note for an extended period of time. For Southern that time was 2004.

Mason could go either way. To me, he's basically like a superior version of Carl Webb.

I do like the looks of Bolton, Tamou and Rapira.

I'm looking forward to this game. It'll be my first game attended as a season ticketholder and even better there's eleven games after it. Broncos vs Cowboys can't get much bigger so hopefully the team plays well.

 

[Big Pete]

Hope you enjoy the experience CB.

I was a Broncos ST holder but had to save the money this season. Still making my way to five games this season.

I think they'll miss Bowen.. if he was playing i'd almost certainly tip the cowboys.

 

[Big Pete]

Only if it was 2007 Bowen.

Last time we played against a Cowboys side with Bowen he was one of their worst players despite scoring a try.

 

[renouf]

For sure.. he use to carve up the brisbane defence, I still think he'd cause a few problems.

Lets hope they've really worked on the defence, we just need to get more numbers in the tackle and do what every other side does, slow the play the ball up.
