Round 16, 2010: Sharks 20 - Cowboys 19 At Dairy Farmers Stadium

[BurgoShark]

If we used Fergo as a center and put Cov on the wing, I wouldn't put Fergo with Gordon as they both can be suspect defensively. Cov and Collis are both better defenders, so it'd be better IMO to have:

2. Gordon
3. Collis
4. Fergy
5. Cov

What? Who cares what number they where. Obviously Covell and Fergie would play on the left and Collis and Gordon on the right.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

What happened with Willie Mason at the judiciary?

 

[shark3]

Potentially, there are going to be some good little match ups/ battles going on during this game...

Gardner V Mighty Mouse a.k.a Gallant
Bowen V Barrett
Tupou V Mason

I really hope Smith has his head in the right place and doesn't let that cheating scumbag germ Thurston rattle him. Sharks must attack Thurston!!!

Care to explain?

"Cheating" was one of the very few cleaner words I came up with!

He is just such a crying, whinging little turd when things don't go his way and stays down and I just hate him. :take that

PLUS he's a grub!

AND has that ridiculous angel wing tattoo thing going on on his back! What a tool!!!

we need a huge game from dougie, hes been a bit quieter last couple of games.

 

[Jaz]

Pretty happy with that lineup. Do you think Tautai will be used at all or is he just there in case of injury?

 

[Mr Wright]

Interesting to see Tautai is named as 18th man to travel with the team. I wouldn't mind to see him used as a 2nd row replacement to give Toops a breather for 15.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

i just want to see bukuya play
surely he is better than tautai and bukuya can play either second row, center or lock

 

[snowman]

great cordoba in the starting line up and cuthbo back, this was the chance to give anlezark or the big guy in nsw cup with the massive last name a game and we dont.
i got a bad feeling about this

id rather Wright give toops a breather mainly because TT is terrible, and the fact that well...Wright doesnt really do anything in attack which would give millo a few opportunities to play wider on the left side

Actually he tripped over because he wasn't expecting the ball.

ALWAYS expect the ball...a basic rule of playing rugby league

Anlezark's not ready. No good comes from pushing kids in there before they're ready.

Big Inoke I wouldn't have minded getting a run... I think they're still trying to improve his fitness.

 

[Murphy]

i am not happy about pomery i am sorta over this

 

[shark3]

i am not happy about pomery i am sorta over this

Agreed Murph...One good hit on a stationary smurf does not a good player make!

 

[Gibs]

Im happy to give poms a chance and see if it really was his hand injury or just him being ****

 

[Capital_Shark]

Can someone fire Collis up please. I know that no neck twin had a good game shutting down anything coming his way but maybe Dean can go looking for the ball a bit more.

Toyota Cowboys make one change - North Queensland Cowboys

Toyota Cowboys make one change

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys coach Neil Henry has challenged his players to restore pride in the Cowboys jersey with a spirited performance against Cronulla at Dairy Farmers Stadium on Saturday night.

Henry has made just one change to the line-up that suffered a disappointing 58-12 loss to Melbourne last weekend, with Carl Webb returning to the bench after overcoming a hamstring injury.

Isaak Ah Mau has been named as 18th man to accommodate the return of the former Queensland Origin enforcer, while reserve rake Anthony Watts is in some doubt with a shoulder injury.

Asked if he had considered making wholesale changes following the heavy loss to the Storm, the coach backed his players to bounce back strongly against the Sharks.

"How we react is very important and we need to make a bit of a statement that the squad is strong enough to win games, and we need to pull together and get the performances on the field," Henry said.

"The same bunch of players get an opportunity to prove their worth and get out there and perform with the club, and that's where we're at with it."

"I thought some of our less experienced players - Dane Hogan and Isaak Ah Mau - did their assignment and tried very hard."

"A couple of our key players probably didn't play a very dominant role in that game as well, but again they're players that have performed for the club over a number of years and they need to step up this weekend."

"Whichever way you look at it, it's an embarrassing loss for the club in the context of the season ... and we're very disappointed about that as a coaching staff and as a playing roster. And essentially the same players get that opportunity to show their local fans what it means to them to play for this club."

And the coach is refusing to give up hope on the 2010 campaign despite his side's precarious position on the ladder.

"We have to try and win as many games as we can and mathematically we can still make the finals - I think (we need to win) eight out of 10 games," a defiant Henry said.

"The Sharks are in a similar situation and I suppose there's a few teams down there with an opportunity to push forward. All we can do is hopefully get a win and then get a bye and then it's a four-point game for us and then reassess that after the Origin series and try and build a bit of momentum."

Asked to elaborate on Watts' shoulder injury, Henry replied: "He's had an MRI and there's some damage there and he's seeing our surgeon John Maguire today and we'll know a bit more."

"But he's reasonably confident he can play, it's quite stable but whether or not it needs surgery or can be managed for the rest of the year we'll find out later today."

"So we've left him in the side, there's certainly an element of doubt about him playing but at the moment he's pretty optimistic."

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys: 1. Shannon Gallant, 2. Ashley Graham, 3. Ben Harris, 4. Willie Tonga, 5. John Williams, 6. Matthew Bowen, 7. Johnathan Thurston, 8. Matt Scott, 9. Aaron Payne, 10. James Tamou, 11. Scott Bolton, 12. Willie Mason, 13. Steve Rapira.

Interchange: 14. Anthony Watts, 15. Leeson Ah Mau, 16. Carl Webb, 17. Dane Hogan, 18. Isaak Ah Mau.
