Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2660908, member: 1899"] If you thought it was difficult to keep track of teams in the NRL, spare a thought for those following the Holden Cup. So far it appears that we've got a couple of early stand-outs in the North Queensland Cowboys, Brisbane Broncos, Manly Sea Eagles and to an extent the Gold Coast Titans who finish the week with 2-0 records but there's so many variables that will come into play that it could easily change on a dime. Of what I know, Manly have another exciting prospect coming through in the form of Tom Trbojevic. We're only 2 rounds into the competition and already he has scored 7 tries. Not only that but Parramatta and Melbourne are hardly slouches. The problem for the Manly NYC side is that a player of that ability is always in line for a call-up and it would surprise me to see him spend too much time in the NYC. Then you've got the Gold Coast Titans who caused the upset of Round 1 downing a quality Wests Tigers outfit comprehensively 34 points to 16 and on the road they beat a Penrith Panthers outfit that won the week before 30 points to 12. Was it a case of Bathurst acting as a neutral ground or are the Bulldogs really that bad at the moment that they're making teams look a lot better than they are? For mine the highlight so far has been the North Queensland Cowboys. They've introduced a bunch of Townsville Stinger players who not only won the Mal Meninga Cup but also went onto flog the SG Ball winners, the Sydney Roosters 36 to 16. Unfortunately fans won't be able to get to watch them play until Round 11 when they take on the Raiders at Canberra. For any Broncos fans who want to watch one of the best teams in the competition and perhaps one of the best games of NYC all year, make your way to Suncorp ASAP and watch the next generation of Rugby League talent go at it. For all the other teams, I'm throwing the form guide out until a later date but right now I believe the three clear stand-outs are the Broncos, Sea Eagles and Cowboys with Tom Trbojevic & Ash Taylor duking it out for early honors for player of the competition.
