Time to shift focus and look towards the Cowboys this week on Saturday night. Feel like I've said this the last few weeks but once again, this is a massive game for us. If we want to be playing Finals Footy this year then Saturday night is an absolute must-win for us. We'll go in as favourites but it's certainly not going to be easy. Going up to Townsville, playing, and then coming home again is a very tough road trip and we've seen a few teams struggle to do it so let's hope we handle it well. Interestingly, this will be our first ever game at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
North Queensland might be down the ladder and struggling at the moment but I'm certainly not taking them lightly and I hope the boys won't be either. They were absolutely awful yesterday so I have no doubt the bounce back factor will be there. They'll be so fired up to make amends back at home and I have no doubt they'll be better so we need to be on our game here. You only have to look at their game against Canberra a couple of weeks ago to see how good they can be and how much they can lift. We obviously need to contain their mega stars like The Hammer, Morgan and Taumalolo. Once again, they were all poor last night so will be better this week. We need to stop them.
It's going to be an interesting week for as. JD is in charge for the whole week so this will give us a real look into how he is as a coach. We can't let that distract us though, I have full faith in all involved at the club and it has to be a business as usual attitude. We want to see improvement from last weeks good performance too. The completion rate must be just as good (if not better), and I feel like both attack and defence can be better. I'd be targeting Morgan all night in defence and then trying to tire out the likes of Taumalolo in attack. Like I said, it's a must-win game so I really hope we're up for this one.
So a big game once again, we can do this!
