Parra last their heads after half time this week and last week.

The half time speeches need some work.

I guess you could call it class, but i think it's more discipline that's needed through better/stronger leadership. Gotta control that aggression... same thing was exposed against Melbourne. You could also see it in Norman, he went missing tonight but i'm sure with experience it'll turn around.
He needs to work off quick play-the-balls, like any half. Morgan is one of the worst kickers in the game, but he had forever to kick the ball, especially in that second half. The Eels halves had no time with the ball.

Lol how'd the washup from Mad Monday treat you, old fart
I live in the Scumdog Purple Turdomania Town called Melbourne now.

Nobody here in Dandenong South has ever heard of the Melbourne Storm.

When was the last time anyone cared about the Broncos? Only their fairweather supporters.

Parra didn't shit the bed, we just lack class, especially in the forwards. That means we need to shift the ball, which means we make more errors. With guys like Taumalolo and Hess the Cowboys didn't need to take any risks. That makes it easy to complete sets and dominate possession.
Pretty much how the Cowboys operate. But a team with a bit of flair in attack should be able to overcome them, and that was what Parramatta were touted as. They look to have underestimated their opponent, especially after picking up a couple of fortuitous first half tries.

Much room for improvement from North Queensland. Granville would be disappointed with his performance, in particular.

Cowboys have the moral support now. Winning from 8th when they were supposed to miss out altogether. Moses needs a new handbag.

If Morges "isn't much" without JT.

He will score 20 tries and have 40 try assists next year.
With JT there I think all of the Cowboys is a better team. Thurston would've taken some weight off Morgans shoulders. Like I told you before when you said Morgans been the form player this year, I said that might be the case but his kicking game was off. Maybe thats pressure he could've done without.

Thurston is the worlds best player. Morgan needs more than one good game and Morgan himself will tell you Im right. He needs to do it again next week. Taumalolo was the man last week. Morgan needs to be the man for the next 2 weeks and then he MIGHT be considered the worlds best? I don't think so but he played like a champion tonight.

I think their inexperience showed but they wouldn't underestimate a team that belted them last start. They were just beaten in the forwards and had to take risks to get out of their own half.

you should catch the game if you get a chance, was a good one

They keep it simple and strangle the life out of the opposition, as Tim Mannah acknowledged. If you think they play an expansive game you are lacking basic Rugby League knowledge or you're borderline geniused. Bit of both.
