Round 23 V Cowboys

[TheFrog]

The Souths home game was bullshit. I remember thinking the Sharks game was fine. I don't remember too much about Titans in GC (must be a trauma injury, can't believe we lost to that rabble).

The one I remember most, apart from Parra round 1, is the Tigers home game. Yes we won it in the last second but two tries disallowed, one admitted as an error by Annesley, the other overruling both the ref and touchie Kasey Badger (who was 2 metres away with eyes peeled) on the basis of a camera 70 metres away. Biased I know but this was the worst bunker call of the year. The first Sharks game was a shocker as well, lots of dodgy calls to deny us possession in the last quarter.

Other sides have had similar misfortune. The Titans certainly got shafted an awful lot before just giving up mid-season. The Cowboys too had lots of fistings, Annesley seeming to apologise to them weekly before changing tack in the second half of the season and defending his refs blunders. I expect the Cows to do much better next year on account of their new stadium. The Warriors have had their problems getting a fair suck of the sav as well.

Cowboys have lost their halfback Clifford to an ankle injury

I also think we have had some rough deals with refs this year but so has just about every other team in the comp, no more or less than us. Over a year I think all the good and bad calls even themselves out but it’s seems to be an obsession with some to blame refs. 9 out of 10 times we lose is because we constantly drop the ball, keep missing tackles and giving away dumb penalties.

Yep. It's turned into a bit of a monotonous ref-blaming culture on here, even more so than most NRL fans. It gets a bit tiring after a while.

Clifford is a big loss. Rate him highly.

Now we just need Taumalolo to be ruled out with his ankle injury and we should be right!

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Taumalolo has been named in their starting side now and is likely to play.

Surely not 100% or just #mindgames?

Got through the captain's run. Guess it depends on how sure he is of the injury as they don't need to win. May be better to just rest him.

Game day. And a sense of optimism has washed over Fangs this morning.

A win tonight sees us stay in the race. We aren't winning the competition but making the finals is basically a win for us after our start to the year.

Rooting for Souths and Warriors this weekend as well.

After our poor poor start to the year, I agree that making the finals will be a minor miracle.

Must win tonight against a very ordinary looking Cowboys team. Then need to back it up in the last round with a win over Newcastle. That should just about get us there. (Roosters assuming a loss).

 

[mxlegend99]

I believe we can and should win tonight. But I also feel like we are destined to miss the 8 on for and against. Not feeling optimistic at all about making the top 8 this season.

Roosters will clearly destroy us. Our other 2 games are winnable but we will almost certainly throw one of them away if not both.

 

[betcats]

We should win tonight, I’ve given up on finals though.

We should win tonight, I’ve given up on finals though.

I have no idea what we will deliver tonight and I don’t like our finals chances.

 

[kinghippo]

The team looks ok.
Hopefully Cleary uses the bench in some type of normal rotation.
Perhaps he could try replacing a forward with a forward, or a hooker with a hooker.
If someone is exhausted, give them a rest.
Crazy stuff like that.

None of the above is gonna happen.

The usual suspects will get the full 80, Moses 20-25, Lenui 10-15 if he’s lucky or someone gets injured and Egan probably come on with 15 to go regardless of how the game is playing out.
