Coach: Neil Henry

Can some one please keep tabs on who the Referee's are for this week as I cannot watch another game with Cecchin. He clearly blew that second half out last night on the two teams and I am also very sure if Marty Kennedy made that tackle last night he would have stayed on the field...

[Guest]

JWH refused to suck Cecchin off before the game, so he got angry and sent him off.


On a serious note, I have no idea how we're gonna match their forwards.

[Guest]

Its going to be a pretty tough game without Moa and JWH. Our other forwards will really have to stand up. Versing Scott and Tamou will be a huge challenge...if these two dominate our forwards they will smash us!

In saying that, if our forwards can produce any half decent performance our backs should tear them apart. I would hope our coach has a game plan of getting our backs spreading it wide a lot and playing on the edges instead of up the middle!

Put pressure on their 9's.

Kostjasyn is slow out of half and not a true hooker. Moore is still playing as though he's running in a foot of English super league mud. Neither offer anything amazing and teams have been emphasizing this by making them rush their descison making. This results in poor choices or errors. Then Thurston tries to overplay it all and compounds the previous errors.

Scott and Tamou have been forced to run one off the ruck because of the poor service from dummy half. We are very strong in our middle third and even without jwh and moa, we should remain staunch in this area.

this will be our biggest test since round 1 IMO.
we got done then by a bigger forward pack, and the only other game weve lost this year was against the raiders, whom also have a big forward pack. the cowboys are in this category.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Where's our team then?

Bloody Robbo is hopeless...

Time for a new coach?

Good assessment mate. Their hookers are killing them.

One thing for sure is that the Cowboys will be primed, as will all teams we play from here on end with the targets that top ranked teams carry. Scott, Tamou, Sims and obviously Thurston will be the key.

Worried about this one.

We'll miss our two starting bash pigs badly.

I'm the opposite, Greeds.
I'm expecting the backups to step up to the next level.

Geez....what a different feeling this year
