2022 R22 Sat - Sydney 32-18 North Qld @ SCG

[Desert Qlder]

Taumalolo’s game today is a pretty clear indicator of how bad Greeny’s passing has affected the team.

 

[GongPanther]

They need 1 more win to be sure of it, the Warriors game seems like the one.

We are ahead by 90 points on differential. Can't see 30 per game being put on us. But yea, the Warriors game if we win will be the 100% lock. Make that 84 points diff as Cows just scored.

Walker would struggle to tackle a wet paper bag

Not watching the game. But reading the posts in here it looks like the NRL decided to take the 2 points Cowboys had handed to them back afterall.

Not that bad but Klein is past it. The young ref last week was so much better.

New blood is needed in the ref ranks, too much baggage with guys like Klein and Sutton.

 

[Floodwaters]

This will be a cracking final series. The bottom of the 8 (5-8) are all good sides.

Cowboys season is gone after the Green death, half this side won't be mentally right for the rest of the season.

Few days after Ben Alexander died, we played the Maggies. Got up and won that. Don't know how we did it. In fact, I've got the ABC call of that game on tape.

Rorters are just as plastic as the Titans

Lol from a Broncos fan who’s team is listed on the stock exchange. They don’t have fans, they have customers.

Klein has too much unpredictability about him. Probably one of those idiots who think they always have to bring more to the table to stand out from the rest of the refs. I didn't see the whole game, so I'll give it a review for looking at Klein.

Not to worry, 2nd spot is all you need...

Teddy starting to get massive over the top raps, immortal calls etc lol

Probably influencing the Dally Messenger Awards judges. They started laying it on extra thick when Edwards was playing out of his skin.

Can't have Teddy not winning the FB of the year as stated in his contract.

Always love the game day whine post match. Disappointed there’s only six pages

Cowboys forwards got completely outplayed in this match. Only Leilua got over 100 metres with ball in hand (he had 134 metres), none of its starting forwards got more then 83 metres. By comparison the Roosters three of its starting forwards make over 100 metres withj ball in hand (i.e. JWH with 168 metres, Lodge with 152 metres and Crichton with 105 metres).

I hope that games ends the 'Klein loves the Cowboys' narrative that was being thrown around in the wash up of Challengegate

Cowboys were off with the fairies in patches, need to be better than that. Much more resilience but still plenty of areas that need a fair amount of improvement.

You reckon they can lift enough to beat the big guns in the finals beave? I still think penrith are the team to beat at full strength, but if cows can get a week off, they'll be nicely placed

Not sure mate hey.

You can see the massive improvement in NQ footy but today they lacked the venom in the kick returns that Feldty would normally provide. I love Hammer but his future is in the centres for mine, he just doesn't do it for me on the wing. Need him back asap tbh.

I think Greeny's passing would have had a massive impact this weekend, majority of the team played under his tutelage and would have been on their minds.

If we can get a home final or 2 we might go alright.

If Feldt is out Holmes should go wing with Hammer in the centres.

You won't make it out of your forty with Drinkwater and the Hammer taking the first two runs every set.

It's like clock work.

On this occassion the roosters were far and away the better team on the day. Doesn't stop a good ref sook though.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Didn’t know how Greenys death would affect them .
thought they mite come out & play a blinder for him .
or as happened …just not mentally there ( not all but a few key players).

[This Year?]

Only saw the 1st half but the Cowboys started slow again. It still feels like they are either heavy legged or are just going through the motions before the finals.
They seem to be at their best when there's a quick play after a Taumalolo hitup.
