Do you agree - Cowboys quartet form NRL's most dangerous spine?

Now I'm not saying they're hopeless because they are by no means, but this seems like typical QLD newspaper propaganda

Most NRL teams have a good spine so it's hard to pin-point who is the best, but I don't think it's the Cowboys. For instance, I would much rather a team that has Inglis, Sutton, Reynolds and Luke over JT and his no-names (yes I just said that).

Regardless of my opinion, do you agree that the Cowboys have the best spine in the NRL?

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I also disagree.

It used to be the Storm for so many years, but their spine is well past it's best now. It's hard to nominate another standout tbh.

 

[Dutchy]

Skillful, in form, electric, and dangerous.

 

[firechild]

DCE, Foran, Stewart and Ballin are still right up there.
Cronk, Smith, Slater and #6 are always a threat but Slater seems to be busted even more often than Stewart these days.
Inglis, Reynolds, Keary and Luke are certainly amongst it.
Cowboys have a good spine and it could well be the best (if there was a way to actually quantify it) but it's pretty close between several sides.

 

[POPEYE]

Form the key word in that statement . . . spines are always open to curvature

 

[roostersrule2]

Roosters, Souffs, Manly, Storm and the Cowboys have the best spines.

They're going good, but it's hard to judge then until we get to the finals and see how the perform in the pressure games. As for being standouts, I think their are several spines who are just as good if not better;
Might be biased but I wouldn't swap souths spine for anyone else's, Inglis, keary, reynolds and luke are great
Roosters;
hate to admit it, but they are up there to, they manage to make pearce work well for them. Rts, maloney, pearce, friend
Broncos;
are better then I expected them to be. Boyd, milford, hunt, mccollough
Eagles;
doesn't help that they have no forwards at the moment, but it's still one of the best spines. Stewart, Foran, DCE, Ballin
dragons;
Out of form now, but it wasn't long ago that they were the inform spine. Dugan, widdop, marshall, rein

and one for the future
warriors;
On paper this could be one of the greatest club spines ever. Rts, lolohea, Johnson, luke

Don't watch much football hey? Coote made his debut seven years ago, Morgan has been around the NRL for five years.

It's non quantifiable but the Cowboys are definitely up there in the top tier.

 

[MightyMoo]

One of the best. The boys are in form for sure. Hopefully they'll keep it up

A Queensland Origin rep is a no-name footballer?

And roaches wonder why they get tagged as arrogant.

What year are you living in? 1998? Have you heard of a VPN???

I'm still surprised the CM actually gave the Cows some credit.
Last I read there was a Cows vs Broncs team comparison and the Broncos won.
The halves were separated by a point lol.

 

[Danish]

Frankly I don't think any team in the comp has a truly great spine. All of them have at least one plodder weighing the rest down.

Manly probably are closest to it.... although fat lot of good its doing them right now :lol:

Mitchell Plod?

 

[MrAnonymous]

lol @ Coote and Morgan being no-names.

 

[The Charlatan]

This year it looks as though the Cowboys spine is the goods.

 

[beave]

I f**king hate the term 'spine' in Rugby League.

 

[Haffa]

They're a "competitive" spine that for sure

I really did think you would've attacked me for this thread :lol: CM generally do go all pro-Broncos yes, but you can't deny them having something soft for the Cowboys.
