Rumours and Stuff

[Kornstar]

Yep.
We are down to our third-choice fullback, and third-choice hooker. No mention of that in the media.
We've had long periods missing players like Corey Norman, Kenny Edwards, Bevan French, Clint Gutherson, Beau Scott, Kaysa Pritchard, Frank Pritchard, Peni Terepo. None of those were short, week-or-two injuries (or suspension in Kenny's case) like the Storm usually only have to deal with.
Much has been made about the Broncos missing McCullough and Boyd, but not much about us missing Kaysa and Gutherson and French.

Funnily enough French was just on 2GB and straight after they were talking about how the Cowboys are missing a couple of crucial players.

Um, you just interviewed one crucial player we are missing and also the guy who was going to win the Dally M in Gutho. f**king morons!

The reason we don't get talked about is because BA has done an amazing job with getting his "next man up" to fill the void relatively effortlessly.

Teams like the Cowboys who are most definitely a one man band get all the sympathy even though they had multiple people play for QLD this year while we had no one play Origin.

Says a lot more about BA than it does all the other loser teams who rely on one super star!!

Maroubra is on some kind of 'like' streak

The serial pest is back.

For tonight's game we'll be without Bevan French, Gutherson and Tepai Moroera.

And Kaysa..

I think in my post before I forgot to mention Jennings who was out injured for some weeks.
It really affected our defence. We copped a couple of touch-ups in that time I believe.

Also let's not forget we lose Gutherson / French and we have to use a fringe player.

Cowboys lose Thurston have his QLD and Australian team mate to step into the role!!

Additionally any side should be able to cover for the loss of a starting prop no matter how good they are!!

And Kaysa..

No

Not really Morgan was in the side before thurston got injured

Can someone - anyone explain to me why BA decided to take 2 hookers for tonight's must win game.?
We havnt had Pritchard for i don't know how long yet he decides tonight to include him in the 17 man squad.

Daniel Arvaro gets ruled out 5min into 1st half which leaves our rotation useless with no impact & one front rower short.

News flash without forwards laying the platform the halves cant do anything. .

Great move

Season over

Someone teach Taka how to defend.
Pritchard & Taka how to pass from dummy half

So many mistakes.

 

[hineyrulz]

Prichard on the bench was a disaster.

Sorry BA not a good call, already without one of our better defenders and losing Alvaro was crucial.

We had Peni / Matagi the more traditional props on the bench along with Scott. So we had plenty of middle forwards.

I suspect , BA thought it was going to be a closer in the last twenty and not be an error fest !! Thus bring Pritchard on in the last 20 would lift our defence.

To be fair he only made one error, just like most of the side.

 

[yosemite]

Semi replacement urgently needed!

because he's f**king bald

 

[Happy MEel]

Yep Kaysa on the bench was a f**king brain fart from BA, unless King was 50/50. We won't know either way but it certainly didn't help our cause tonight. Gower's defence would have been invaluable tonight.

The merkin probably never even spoke to Advanced Hair.

1 error in f**k all minutes. He was a waste of two interchanges and added absolutely nothing in attack or defence. Massive mistake putting him in the side

Mo must be shaking his head in disgust

Arthur is an embarrassment to bald men

Kritchard is also one of our better defenders.

Kritchard is a better defender than Gower, especially in limited minutes. Plus King was obviously a risk of his nerve damage flaring up.

 

[Happy MEel]

Kritchard is also one of our better defenders.

Using what metric merkin?
