Well if the top eight is full of plodders as you say then we're a good chance of winning in the first week of the finals.

But nobody except the players think we can win the comp this year. We probably will get smashed in week two of the finals. It'll still be a very successful year for us, and build nicely into 2018-19.

Pou show me where I ever said 'the top eight is full of plodders.' I have said Mannah and Alvaro are plodders tho which are our starting props for this weekend. Lets hope these plodders can get us over the baby storm team otherwise we'll have no chance in the finals.

Don't tell me the Qld border has moved that far south, originally it was just south of Macksville (you know Greg Inglis) but now south of Sydney. Wtf!!!!! Bloody Meninga and his wall he is building, I know its true as its on Fox sports.

It's probably Robbie Farah.

There is not much to recommend Dean Pay as coach. An apprenticeship to both Hasler and RS, both over-rated coaches

Those plodders have gotten us four points clear of ninth place after the hard part of our draw.

As for the top eight being full of plodders, you just gave plenty of excuses why all these top eight sides have lost to our team of plodders. Those excuses hold for finals time as well - teams lose form and limp into the finals every year, especially with key injuries.

Yep!! And they are also Fijian internationals too!!

Again I didn't say we are a team of plodders, if you're going to quote people at least get the facts correct!

I gave reasons why we beat those top 8 teams, and as shown when Cows were at full strength, we were extremely poor as we were against the Roosters. We were also poor twice against a Raiders team who have beaten nobody this year so where are we in reality. I don't wallpaper over the obvious cracks in the team like you and other supporters do. I shout them out because I want my team successful, to feature regularly in the finals and to win the gf AT LEAST ONCE before I bloody well die!!! Is that asking too much?????

I don't wish my team I've supported probably longer than you have been alive any ill will but do see problems and express them. You're then free to agree or disagree with me and give reasons for a contrary view.

At the moment the problem I perceive is that our props are poor, probably amongst the poorest of any team, and unless we fix that we will forever be a mid table team. Its the other players that have helped us up the ladder. I call a successful year for a team is when they win the comp otherwise it is a good year to make the 8.

Korbin signed with broncos as a 16 year old and went up there with his older brother Ashton thus had a choice of either state and choose QLD.

We're not going to win the comp this year and the reason is lack of cohesion in the halves as well as our lack of go forward in the middle. But our defence in the middle is fine, which is what those plodders are best at.

Improving our go forward doesn't mean sacking Mannah and/or Alvaro. It means bringing in one or two players better at running the ball. I dare say they will replace whoever is in our team to run the ball, and those are Vave and Matagi. Hopefully Vave can get fit and then only one new runner is needed.

Interesting? This could be several players!! But wonder if it is Paulo?

That was my thought as well.

And around this time of the 2009 comp, we were wooden spoon contenders!!

Anything is possible...

It's getting to the point where I am shooting powder. That can't be good.

Nothing to worry about till it's a puff of smoke Gary. Then you know you've got to back off a bit.

hope it's not Brown they are talking about.

Mannah is the kind of guy that looks like an alpha male but has the soft innards of a marshmellow

It's not Brown. Maybe it's Pauli Pauli. I remember the telegraph picking him in a young guns origin team for 2019 after his one good game against the Dogs a few years ago.

The fact he is not agro proves he is alpha.

But his eyebrows make him look like Agro the muppet from Cartoon Connection.

 

[Bazal]

That was my thought as well.

Now I finally have a source! Yay Canberra! Well, never yay Canberra but anyway.

I can't say for sure that the story is about Junior specifically, but this seems to have legs. Junior has allegedly been talking up BA to his team mates...

What does a human alpha male look like? I've always wondered about things like that...you know, imaginary things.

Well, in that case we'll have Rapana as well thankyou very much.
