Round 16 Vs The Cowboys

[herbert henry1908]

Thurston gone for the year, helps our cause given we play them twice before seasons end

Not too surprising given the way he was holding that shoulder.

Case of returning too early?

You'd think so. Getting hit by Friz on a tender shoulder would suck.

Slater like. Came back, copped it, and didnt play for 2 years. All for Origin.

Just read something interesting r.e the Cowboys and how we are copping crap for having not beat a top 8 side this year: cows win this year have come against broncos (4th), raiders (10th), titans (14th), rabbitohs (13th), knights (15th), bulldogs (12th) and eels (9th)

Well, they HAVE beaten a top 8 side and they even managed to beat Souths and Parramatta too, so I'm not exactly sure that really vindicates us much. At all, in fact.

Those stats can be misleading. Where were those teams when Cowboys played them? Parra were top 8 atleast

Thank god we didn't have any Origin players.Moylan should have been there, but if he was its unlikely he backs up. Origin 2 was brutal and there are so many withdrawals this week. We can safely play our 1 to 17.

I just hope the bye hasnt come at a bad time for us. 2 games then a bye, hard to build and keep momentum.

fair call

Also Cowboys have missed Thurston for a great deal of the season, Scott has been injured and ofcourse a few lesser injuries.

They have been really impressive. I think even eithout Thurston they are atleast our equal if not better.

Overall yes but Moylan is now the best player on the field and by quite a margin

FINAL WORD Hook explains why the Cowboys could be more dangerous without JT + Panthers changing clubs + injury update #pantherpride https://t.co/hZ7pigyjNF

 

[herbert henry1908]

Some speculation around that Dean Whare might be out with Kaide Ellis to debut & Peachey to the centres.

 

[pandas]

Is Whare injured?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Is Whare injured?

Dunno.

I hope he's been dropped tbh, he needs to rediscover his form and you can't do that in first grade. I still can't believe we gave him a 5 year contract off the back of two serious injuries

Agreed. A spell in reserves would be good for him even though he wouldn't like it. I still rate him though, he's also our most experienced centre & back and experience is something that we miss sometimes in close games particularly. Can't be all young guys. The length of the resigning was a bit strange, must of been a good deal.

Cowboys will lift today without Thurston. We will need to be at our best to beat them. A half arsed effort today will not get the chocolates.

Yep need to improve on that very average Canberra game

 

[OldPanther]

I asked in the other thread but it seems to have died. Is Cleary injured? His elbow is always strappen (in game and at training)

He picked up a knock a month ago when he scored a try. I think like most players this time of the year he is just managing it.
