Considering they've brought in Te'o to provide some agression and versatility is there any room left for Taylor? I thought that was his role. Bizzare...
Love these types of games. We're definitely depleted but we seem to have pretty good coverage coming in. There's a drop in talent but definitely not endeavour.
While the loss of Carney is significant Cronulla still have an excellent forward pack so I'm predicting a grinding type of game. Most...
Brave effort considering we were in our own half for most of the second half. We definitely frustrated the hell out of the Cowboys tonight with our defence. Thurston and Tate looked like they were going to drop dookies they were that tightly wound up.
The two matches over the last five days has...
Not to mention Pearce's kicking game. Was was Rothfield giving him a wrap in the Tele this morning? He found our back three on the full repeatedly last night.
Nailed it one post. Agree it's unlikely they'll go for Barba. They'll probably shift Inglis to fullback and put Nielson in the centres. He's pretty reliable and we tend to go for thise types of players.
Our failure to score many points in this series is probably due to our halves. They've yet...
I think in rugby if you lose the ball and it happens to hit your foot on the way down they still call it as a knock on. In league we're happy to let it go (which makes sense IMO). Not sure about the field goal thing.
Hah no need for panic stations. We nearly pinched it at the death and were unlucky not to get the line drop out. I think if we'd had another 1-2 sets on their line we would have cracked them. Mind you we need to acknowledge the NSW defence. It's as resiliant as I've seen from them in years...
Tend to agree. They'll be fresh bar their origin players whereas we've got a short turnaround and only 2-3 origin players will back up. We could be a little weary in the last 20 mins.
Bar the fatigue factor I'm confident we can win this game. Townsville doesn't hold any fears for us. It's...
Would like to see origin on stand along weekends during a 22 round season. But that will never happen so the next best option is to play it after the grand final. This season has shows how it adversely affects the competition. The quality of the footy has deteriorated and the crowds haven't been...
I laughed at that too but it wasn't as funny as Reed waving to the fans after he scored at the death. LOL what a dork!
Pretty stunning performance. I thought we were no chance with the number of players out but the replacements were fantastic. Copley had a cracking game. He ran the ball back...
pfft his handling of the Stewart incident was fair enough. As the feature player if you're stupid enough to write yourself off in front of all the major sponsors at the game's season launch you deserve to be kicked up the arse.

Looks like he was given the ol' heave-ho.
I think he did a pretty good job considering he had about 50 different boses to report to and appease.
psst there's an identical sushi shop (it's called LoveRoll sushi) in the foodcourt at McArthur Central that not many people know about. Good if you like the sushi but don't want to line up for 15 mins (me).
After game one I thought NSW had every right to be confident about game two and looking at that side they should be. It's a cracker - quick and mobile and Watmough gives them impact off the bench.
QLD will definitely have their hands full in Sydney. Decider for sure.
