Not a fan of us continually using back rowers in the centres. Has it ever worked for us?

CM reporting that Kahu will be playing centre. Was training in that position yesterday.

Kahu always seems a cool head. I'll be more confident with him there than Oates.

Another good thing is it will drop Lowrie out the team.

Lowrie coming on in last 10 mins of last game was ridiculous.

No Plodd Slowrie, that's a plus. It should help having a bit more speed in the centres with Kahu. I wonder what Ben Cummins has up his sleeve this week to bemuse and astonish us.

Maybe. Griffin has a policy of keeping at least one plodder in the team. Maybe one of the props could drop out.

I've worked out Griffin. Sensible decisions are reserved for sudden death situations. Irrationality for all other occasions.

Been a very tough season in some ways, but glad to see the boys rewarded for their efforts with a finals spot and I really hope they make the Cowboys feel nervous.

Definitely think we're traveling better than what we were back then.

Big start will be a key, cannot give up a 12-0 lead like we did against Melbourne. Put them under pressure and we maybe able to expose a few weak links in their team.

Minimising the impact of the big two from the Cows is crucial - Scott and Thurston. If we defend like we have on so many occasions this year - with a very slow line speed - these two will slay us and it will be 20+.

If we defend like we did against the Storm we'll be ok though. We absorbed a lot of pressure in that second half, only to be broken by a bloody cross field and hope for the best kick. It could be an option for the Cows this week, I can see them targeting Vidot like they did to Tafua last week.

Quick post at half time because let's face it ... the game is over.

Basic skills - passing, catching - just terrible. Rack off Griffin. And thanks for nothing.

Can anyone tell me how Barba has kept his place in this football team? Mediocre. Poor. A few glimpses of his 2012 form in about three games out of 26. He should not be in this team, and I sincerely hope Benny shops him off to the Titans next year, or some other unfortunate team.

That summed up our season. Tried hard but too many simple errors and absolutely no idea what to do in the oppositions 20 m zone.

Tariq Sims what a moron. Did he think that none of the multiple cameras would see him take out Hodges late? Hopefully the grub doesn't see another game in the finals.

To be fair the Cowboys like Souths last night put the cue back in the rack at halftime.

May Bennett's broom sweep hard during the off season.
