I don't think they have a bad squad at all, it just doesn't really excite me. Take out taumolo from that team and they will be luck to win 10%. Take out haas, fifita and lodge and we'd still string more wins together I think. Players have relied on 1 player in the past but not a middle forward, its a very risk squad. They could have a great season, or it could be 2019 all over again. Really hard to say, but I do know it will have nothing to do with Holmes and a lot more to do with taumololo and the back up he gets after his runs. It'd be an interesting stat to look at but I would guess that >75% of their tries are scored the play after or directly from his runs. Rush him, even if you give away a few off side or slowing ruck penalties, and you'll go a long way to a beating them. I don't disagree with the cowboys having good young forward prospects but I don't think it's anywhere near as strong as some other clubs. There are a lot of good young forwards at the moment, I don't remember a time like it when there has been so many quality young forwards running about. [/QUOTE]
