This is a game that will will be expected to win, and by plenty. I really hope we can. We always play good vs cowboys and lets hope we keep on our role. We need to play well.

imo, cowboys side looks good. How have they lost 12 in a row?

 

[Monk]

good to see the shack back, he will add some much needed grunt to our fwd pack.
grose at fullback is an ok choice. better to have him there, then in the centres.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Hmmmm not a bad team, too bad about Sa and Jaubs not being ready. In saying that the great thing about it is it's letting us blood Friend and Cherro really well for the future, I expect to see them both shine in the future.

Really was keen on seeing Foley play this week also is he still recovering or Freddy just prefers Grose? I hope Shack has a good return, not expecting him to be as good as he was last year but I expect 30 minutes of solid mistake free footy from him, until he works his way back into good form again.

 

[Clintos]

What happened to SKD?

 

[sass]

he injured his ankle on sunday against the eagles clintos!

 

[2 True Blues]

4 weeks out and 6 comps game left !!!

 

[Monk]

bugger me this season has flown by!

 

[Chook Norris]

bugger me this season has flown by!

before we even know it... it'll be the off season and no Roosters :x

 

[sass]

ooh welcome back shackleton.

 

[2 True Blues]

wake up dudes. But many just goin out on injury as well. Not good. And jets have lost 2 games in row for the first time all season as your back-up.

Tank gettin empty now, with no more room for movement in quality. .

Shack has played 2 games of footy all season. And we lost both of them. ;-)

When your team is winning it seems one hell of alot quicker I reckon.

 

[Non Terminator]

But on this game, why do games like this worry me?? I couldn't agree more on what Monk said, how can that side seriously have lost a dozen straight?? As I am expecting a good win from the boys, we seem to be quite injury prone lately which isn't looking good, and the Cowboys can be quite an aggressive bunch.

Yeah poor old Aubo (James), he was supposed to paly on Sunday but went over on his ankle the night before the game. He may be playing on the weekend but apparently its touch and go.

 

[Monk]

i wouldnt risk it. best to have him 100% then at 80% against the cows

 

[Freddy's Girl]

Jake Friend isn't doing to bad of a job either.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

is SKD's injury serious. I may need to sell him in fantasy NRL.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

Yer mate 4 weeks, I also had to sub him, his value is so low now that I wouldn't have got anyone better than my reserves.

 

[Monk]

i have the 3 top NRL tryscorers in my Fantasy team

- Nightingale
- SKD
- Kemp

im coming 4th in my league.

 

[Monk]

Im goin to a party tonight so i wont be listening to the game.
that sucks
