Yeah I counted 4x 50 50 calls all went to the Cowboys. But at 12-0 I knew it was GG. When you have a winger that can pass like THAT and a full back who can run the way he runs+kick+pass+tackle+support, then throw-in the best playmaker in the game with plenty more you would expect nothing shy of a GF appearance.
Overall, not a bad game to watch though. We certainly brought plenty energy and enthusiasm and if I came in with unseen eyes, I would have thought Wallace to be a fantastic 7. Norman still has a ways to go, but I like what he is showing with his capabilities. You always have to take the bad with the good though when it comes to the debutants.
I am actually glad the cows won it and got out injury free. They are a top side this year and I am cheering them to go all the way. We woulda been lucky to get past a Manly side that's probably lost both their centers and captain next week!
I also agree about Hoffman. For me he it's obvious his injury has affected his game all year. We have loads of people lining up for the center role and if you look at the bunnies with Inglis -the no.1 role is changing. Hodges can bring so much to the table here and if Hoffman recovers he can fill the wing role and maybe we bump Copely to centers. Honorable mention to big Petro. Hell of a player and wish we never lost those good years out of him.
We will need a good pre-season buy to sort out our impact/front row loss. Griffin also needs to pull his finger out a little. His coaching this year hasn't been top notch nor has Sams captaincy.
In the end am proud to be a bronx supporter alongside you guys and it was so nice to see the Maroon jersey on tonight over Tweety bird. Now let's get behind these Mango munchers and bring the cup up to QLD where it belongs ;D!!!
