JT aint that scary these days, we have done well in the past restricting him and some games against us he has had shockers. He's just a bloke, put him under pressure and it can effect his performance even if he manages to rise up in key moments. The cowboys arn't just about JT, they got Morgon, Tomollololol ect
Trying to look at the Pro/Cons of playing the respective teams.
Cows
-We have beaten them in a previous finals game in Sydney (2013 IIRC)
-Our games against them are typically closely contested
-I don't think we will see anything like the semi last year where they destroyed us up in Townsville
-Cowboys struggle away from home
- Forward pack more size and power than ours
- So called Premiership hang over, doesn't seem to be effecting them but do they have the same amount of desire as last year? I would think so but mentally will it play a role?
Some of these things are also true of the Broncos ofcourse but worth mentioning
- Don't seem to be in the form of the Cowboys (Titans game wasn't convincing)
- However they are probably going to get better as confidence continues to grow
- More of an unknown quantity, what team will show up? If it's their best and they are on for 80 mins we could struggle
- Bennet has a knack of outcoaching our gameplans and exposing our players weaknesses
- They are motivated after last years GF hearbreak
All things considered I think I may prefer playing the Cows as I feel more like you know what you're gunna get and we can plan ahead. Yes if we are good enough we should beat anyone but that doesn't mean we don't consider preferences in our own minds
