Do we have a preference for the Souths v Cowboys game tonight?

Souths lose (they play roosters next week) Good chance they may miss the 8
If ponys can jag a win vs dragons last rd (Cardigan back for them).

You would assume Raiders beat Manly in Canberra
Sharks will bend over Doggys

I'm hoping for Cowboys win today, and the Souths to bounce back and snap the Roosters momentum next week.

And Raiders sailing into the finals at someone's expense... Broncos look done after getting smashed the last two weeks.

Cowboys.

What that means is if souths win next week they stay 7th and Roosters 6th.

Or if souths lose both they could bottom out.

Munster not charged.

TBH I didn’t think that hip drop tackle was all that bad and he’s getting 4 weeks.
Hipdrop they are all over it atm.

It's the dirty tackle in the game.

Munster along with most Melbourne players seem to do whatever they want on the field without much consequence so I am not surprised he got off not one commentator even talked about it.

our last 2 sell outs

26.4k v dogs
26.9k v penrith
Not sure if it means anything but the week prior to those 2 games were home losses to Brisbane and Souths.

Did that turn away season ticket holders the following week from turning up.

Surely not but it's a big number to not turn up.

General Admission last week wasn't full there was still a whole bay up top behind the goal posts at the River end that was pretty scarce I can't imagine them being season tickets seats.

Walker is a great talent. But his boot is to small. His bombs don't go high enough. His long kick isn't strong enough either. I'm sure he can work on it.

Storm I still felt where the better side once warmed up. Roosters didn't look like scoring. But let's see how much of a toll this took on the Storm. That was a tough game of footy.

But there are two sides to the game of rugby league - attack, and defence.

While the Roosters never looked like scoring, their incredible defence held strong, and proved their class.

Game was very physically, but thought both sides looked pretty average in attack.

Storms attacking shape looks clunky and they were attacking against an opponent’s without specialist centres. Meaney looks lost at times, Munster obviously very good, but has no game management….But they are dangerous up the middle off a quick play the ball…

Roosters go sideways to much and not a lot of skill in the middle…

both had crappy kicking games…

We've copped a lot of [fair] criticism for our attack, but both sides attacked like we do at times.

Was Roosters and Storm that good? Or where both sides not that great? It was hard to tell.
As good a game to watch discipline was poor and both sides kicking game was shithouse.

I reckon that JWH, and NAS, helped out their opponents off their games with their physicality.

Both teams defended like demons, and gave each other hell.

I loved it.

What did that f**ker get for elbowing Matto and putting him in the headbin for a month? Two weeks, but Munster gets …..

Anything that potentially gets Souths out of the Top 8 and away from us is what we need.

While the Raiders winning today and next week, and Broncos beating Dragons could see Souffs miss the 8 (if they lose their last 2) would be a good result... there's that part of me that wants to see Sticky apoplectic in the post match presser if they somehow bottle it today and lose to Manly...
