Be afraid kiwis, the Hammer will torment you for years.

Sadly NSW folkes too. What a player.

qld have a few fullbacks. Walsh is a fair bit ahead

Yeah not good enough to play elsewhere.

Walsh cannot tackle so yeah pick him.

I expect Ponga to be picked anyway assuming he’s back in the next week or two anyway.

Just so I am clear,

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.​

Is a far better player than Reece Walsh and Ponga should retire on milkshakes.

They both have trouble tackling.

It’s a little funny hearing some talk about this is an upset

1: The dolphins dropped that handbrake Milford who is done as a first grader.

2: The cowboys aren’t going as good this year. Even though I tipped NQLD I wasn’t going to be shocked if the Phins got up

Every match the Cowboys play it’s like “how bad was every other side to let these crabs get to a prelim last year”

Holmes on a million a year to do one thing again, Bongwater does sweet nothing and they get rid of Hammer, two average as anything halves, Dearden back to usual this season

What TV station did watch this game on in LA?

Milf did his hammy last week. He wasn't dropped.

The Cows are the worst QLD side by the length of the Barrier Reef

They need a few years for Nanai & Luki to mature.

It's time for Feldt to retire and hiku to be moved on however.

SuperCoach Payten with some work to do

 

[THE CHAMP]

Wow Drinkwater was bluddy atrocious

 

[Black Panther]

Wow Drinkwater was bluddy atrocious

Drinkwater was by far the most dangerous player for the Cowboys. He had 2 great long passes for tries and always looks good with the ball in hand.

Drinkwater was the least of NQ's worries....

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I think the shortened pre-season has buggered us for the year. We had a lot of players in the World Cup. They didn't get a lot of time to work on their combinations. The attack is clunky and the defenders are not working as an organised units. The third or second defender in from touch is rushing up and not making the tackle whenever the other mob shifts the ball out wide. That's poor communication.

The lightning fast line speed we used last year with a smaller forward pack took its toll as the season went on. We went from conceding the fewest points to letting in soft tries. That's carried over into this season.

Our forwards are getting monstered.

The players look disinterested and unfit.

Townsend and Holmes have been hot and cold. Both are dropping a lot of ball, missing tackles and conceding penalties. Every now and then they are very good, but not often enough.

We really need Robson to be active from dummy half because we lack a ball playing halfback.

Drinkwater needs to get involved more on the last play. Especially when we're in the opponent's 20m zone. Townsend's short kicking game is too unreliable.

Hiku has been a liability this year.

Injuries and suspension have hurt us.

Dearden was quiet last night.

But yet they managed to beat the Raiders.
