As mentioned Henry is a good tactical coach which is why him and Meninga combine so well but he's no stranger to issues with players. I must say some of his selections of late have been very dodgy especially keeping Bani for so long and to a lesser extent Graham. There is also Ty Williams who was past his use by date and probably others I've missed.

and his attitude off the paddock?

Don't know, mate, I don't spend anytime with him.

I wouldn't want 95% of NRL players to come near me or my kids. Lucky I only want them to play footy then, which JT does very well.

I think Bani stayed in 1sts as long as he did last year cause there was no other option. He trained well in the pre season & did well enough to stay after Rd1. He screwed up & was dropped, like last year, & a new guy comes in. Hopefully KFFL lives up to the hype.

What hype?
Fans just want a damn competent winger, and let's be honest it's been freaking years since we had a damn decent one.

Even the Sharks seem to be able to produce wingers that can find the tryline.

sigh..............I miss Matt Sing and Ty Williams (when he was good).............. Matt Sing is still the best winger I have seen in my 25 years of watching footy.

Did you see he got picked as No 1 Cowboy legend. Can't Argue with that, tho would have thought Ra was close.

me and another Stampede regular were at the game together the other night, when they went through the top 12, we both said 'I bet they under rate Matt Sing' as we both think the sun shines out his ass......... needless to say we were both shocked that the assclown fans we have actually picked someone worthy of the title of number 1 legend, I was waiting for the typical response of either JT or Mango (Bowen) but to my surprise no.

Ra was brilliant, he is definitely our best prop of all time, with Matt Scott a close second.

I agree, Bear Bowman is my fave and the best cowboy of all time and with Matt Sing at number 2, but I was glad at least one of those guys ousted the typical nuffy choice of either Matt Bowen or JT.


Isn't it funny though, people forgive Bear for 'that pass' in the 05 GF, I don't think there are many players that can be forgiven for a stuff up like that, but I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything bad about Paul Bowman because of it. I think it's because of the amount of respect people have for him and what he stands for, absolute champion player and bloke.

Bowman was class on and off the field. Not the best player to play origin but his guts and courage were top drawer. Deserves to be a cowboy legend.

That list definitely needs more Ra, without him we wouldn't have made the finals.

His go forward, aggression and offloads were pretty much the backbone of our attack.
