After the Cows win over Newy last week i dug out my disc from May MNF when the Cowboys upset Easts and i sat there shaking my head as i cant believe what a different team they looked that night
granted Mango playing his first game of the season was probably an impetus to what was a great performance but still it was a good win by the NQ against a team now proving how good they can be in Easts
last night they should have beaten Penrith as they should have beaten Balmain a few weeks ago, the Cowboys have lost 5 games by 7 or less in 2010 and i cant help but think that having an old headed veteran may have changed those close losses into wins and theyd now be in the top 8 rather than thinking about where theyll be watching the playoffs from this year, i love the Cowboys but geez they frustrate me to watch
the nxt night i dragged out the Cowboys season highlights 2004/05 dvds and watched them, great stuff from a good young team sprinkled with some savvy veterans in Matty Sing, Kev Campion, Jason Smith, Travis Norton, Paul Bowman etc -blokes who had been there, done that and were very professional
the Cowboys dont really have that now, sure JT, Mason, Tonga, LOD all have plenty of xperience and even premiership rings but they dont seem to be the type of player who commands respect and everyone follows and listens to and is inspired by like a Campo, Sing, Bowman, Norton etc
So who is a veteran who could come in and do a job like Sing, Campo, is Tate the bloke who will be like the veteran and plays the Campo, Norton, Bowman type role ?
which veteran do you reckon could help the Cowboys get back to where they were in 04-07 ?
