So Cowboys to win?
Lets touch base after the game, Dragons win this one mate, I have no doubt.
I’d love to be with you but I have to be honest in what I think
Cowboys have some injuries but I just think we have more deeper issues that we can’t resolve.

This game will be won or lost by us between the 25th and 60th minute.
I'm sure Green will instruct his forwards and play makers (especially JT) to direct their plays and runs at Maranta (because he's dog *#^!) & Hunt (to effectively take him out of the game fatigue wise). Then straighten the their attack with JT straight through Latimore.
I also cannot see Friz playing a full game which would bring in the lazy defender in Leilua.
So many turnstiles its not funny.
For us to win,vwecwould need to put on 2 or 3 trys in the opening 20 mins. None of this pot-shot for 2, that will not win us the game.
Perenara is the control ref, and the Cows have had it very rough over the last few weeks with ref calls, so it wouldn't surprise to see a lop-sided penalty count against us.
Oh, abd 1 more thing, given the crack down on late hits, I hope the Sims boys have taken note. The last thing we need is another excuse for McGregor to fall back on.

Perenara reffed eels v Broncos gave eels all the calls.
Let's hope he gives us the same.
What shits me is the refs put the whistle away after 60 min or so and don't blow penalties even when it's there.

Does anyone else remember the time when the masses went apoplectic at the thought of Leilua leaving SGI?

It seems so far away ago now.

Do you only watch Host with the ball in Hand ? After Mcinness ( who admittedly is light years ahead of anyone else ) he would be our best defender.
Ok, I'll watch closely his defence tonight, but for me, he is a powder puff & will play limited years in the top grade.

Lafai is streets ahead of that atrocious Maranta, so we have no where else to go with that selection.
But FMD, Lats (& Host for that matter) turning up again in preference to giving Timm a chance to show that he can carry his form into 1st grade makes me sick...
FMD Maranta back in.. How bad is our depth in the back line, surely Field with his speed might be an option, it worked for Tommy Turbo playing out of position & support playing.
Wait a minute...... different coaches.

I was one of those to be honest.
Had massive hopes.
Yes that was when the Dogs coach Hasler was after him. I bet by now he would be a much better player if he left.

I rate Leilua very highly and believe he could be a prop in the mode of Beatson. He just needs to be strictly managed.

Valid point but Freddy has better players at his disposal. In no way am I defending the clueless coach ok.

Tommy Turbo can play any backline position with ease, I have no idea if the same could be said for Jai Field but we won't find out anyway.
