Round 9 v Cowboys (preview, spoilers, post match discussion...)

[choc_soldier]

COWBOYS v PANTHERS - Dairy Farmers Stadium, Saturday 6 May, 7:30pm

Who knows which way this is going to go... if we play like we have the past three weeks, premiership records could be broken up in Townsville.

But Thurston will be backing up from his debut test - not saying that it will make for a more even contest, but we could very well spring a surprise up there next week.

We shall see.

 

[lainey]

Agreed, gonna be a hard one to pick.....2 weeks ago I would have picked the Cowgirls but now they have lost a couple I'm undecided....

 

[Caged Panther]

There last two losses just mean they'll be all the more fired up

 

[cainen]

If they play like they did last night we are in with a decent chance.

 

[choc_soldier]

Both teams have lost their last two.

But the Cowboys are travelling a lot better than us.

 

[Schijt hoofd]

I'm worried about the Cows rebounding from 2 poor games in a row.

 

[Big Mick]

I would have prefered they beat the Roosters on Saturday.

While Thurston backing up for them the night after is a plus for us....they will be fired up especially after a home loss.

I have a bad feeling about this game

Cummins referee'd our premier league last week and if you ask me that's where he belongs. From memory he penalised us 8 times in the first half last week and didn't penalise Cronulla at all.
I think we got our 1st penalty when a sharks player dropped his knee's into David Thompson's back.

That guy was pathetic!!! How the hell did he get a run in first grade? :evil:

WOOHOO NO Hookey or Swain.

That is our best side all year.

Congrats to Michael Gordon for being selected in his best position and where I think he has the MOST potential as a first grader.

We also have a ready made Goalkicker too!

Its a great side...impact off the bench...fast and solid backs...good finishers...halves back.

I reckon we're in with a REAL shot this week

EDIT: Mick beat me to it.

Oh well it's such a good team it deserves naming twice!

Bugger me!!!

[Big Mick]

Penrith by 8 considering they'll have their main man Thurston and main enforcer O'Donnell backing up!

 

[richie8u]

thats the best team that we have put together in nearly 2 years!!!
lets just hope that it doesnt fail and make us all look stupid,

 

[Caged Panther]

Changes! Changes! Glorious changes!!

I'm beside myself with excitment right now.

Good to see Ation on the bench his form last week on debut demanded selection.

 

[cainen]

Now all Lang has to do is stop putting Preston on the wing and all will be forgiven.

 

[An41]

I'm excited, been waiting for changes all year and good to see Aiton given another chance being named on the bench

 

[choc_soldier]

THANK YOU JEEBUS!

No Hookey... woo hoo!

I love the look of that side. Changes have been made based on form, rather than necessity. I'm looking forward to seeing Gordon get another crack, and of course Aiton off the bench. And all our "big name" players back on deck.

I think we could be a chance this Saturday night.
