Anyone heading to Townsville for this one? I'll be there solo. Keen to get on the beers and catch up with a few of you.

This is the next game. Where's everyone's opinions?

Up my arse, like Cronulla's form atm.

 

[Thresher]

We'll win it unconvincingly but with a 12 point margin.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

Going to take a lot of improvement for us to win this.

We need to simplify everything and we should be able win in a lowish scoring game

The cows looked a ragged, tired outfit on the weekend. Mind you, so did we. Can't see a high quality game, but I'll take a scabby field goal in golden point if it gets us 2 points.

Should beat what is left of the cowboys squad..

'Should' being the key word here...

 

[Tank]

Be interesting to see who Cows name in squad. Coote looked to have a busted knee and Morgan was rooted when taken from the field. (So was Nu I suppose and he played the next week)Anyway they start losing spine players and it helps us. Our danger is containing the 9 and 13. Both were immense against the Riff last week. Anyway I think after a couple of poor games we can bounce back and win .....just!

 

[BurgoShark]

Brailey trained without the red singlet yesterday. Should be in the 21 and a good chance to play.

 

[Gards]

Granville & Morgan will lap us if we don't sort out the defense - they have been in fine form for the most part

Only bad thing about winning this game is it keep's the raiders finals hopes alive (I think cows have to lose at least 1 game and raiders win 2-3 games to get there)

 

[HaroldBishop]

Throw enough darts......we'll win this.

I'll be smoking mine thanks mate - hopefully our error count is low enough to keep me under a pack for the game

 

[ABshark]

Who cares about the opposition. Just need our guys to start playing like a team for a change.

Yeah that's the issue really. We'd be lucky to beat anyone atm.

I am hoping a return of Brailey sees us return to form. He is very good hooker for such a young guy and i think we play better when he is on the field, which has been the case all year.

I think the Cowboys of last weekend would have smashed the Sharks of last weekend.

Robbo V.2. Hopefully he's been watching tapes on his goal line defence because it was becoming quite the issue before the injury

Let's be honest if we can't win this game let's just pack up shop. They have almost a full team injured (12 players). I know they hav some good depth but we have what 1 maybe 2 players from full strength. After the last two weeks we just need a win. I'd like to see them put a complete performance in and smash them but a simple 2 point victory will do...
