2 wins behind with 3 rounds to play, lol

Manly will win tomorrow, then they've got the Bulldogs who are only good for 1 or 2 tries a game
Parra have the Titans next week, after losing they'll be fired up, they'll start heavy favorites
Cronulla and the Cowboys play each other, you'd tip Cronulla to win that

Meanwhile Penrith have 3 games against teams who could quite easily beat them, they'll be doing well to make the 8, forget about this top 4 dream of yours
I havent been optimistic about top 4 since about round 5. The fact remains we are still only 2 points out of it. All we can do is keep winning & we will finish where we finish.

And you are 3 wins behind the Storm, I guess your suggestion would be to call mercy & end the season now?

Ponga will come in if Coote is injured, I don't see where he fits if not. He has huge flaws in his game, it's not worth plying him unless we need him to fill in somewhere. Maybe wing if Winters is still injured, because Mosby seems to be out of favour.

I think it would be dumb to bring Ponga in at 1 and move Coote to 6. Coote is leagues ahead of KP as a fullback right now. TMM is enough x factor, he'll be fit next week.

If the Cowboys finish the next 3 games with 17 players on the field I think they'll make the 8.

Anyone else feel like moylan the foreskin stifled cleary?
Better without moylan me thinks.
Yeah nah. They do need to complement one another though, not get in each others way. More sessions with Brandy I'd suggest. And what happened to Matt's short kicking game? If the kicking is shared around a bit, the opposition won't be able to put pressure on the kicker so easily.

He kicked far better than Nathan last night.

Just doesn't seem to be clicking yet, I have no doubt that the two of them on the field is better long term however it still looks clunky out there.

That's going to happen since Moylan only moved mid year and did his hamstring shortly after. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him back a little under done because it was the Cowboys and we needed the win.
