Nice start cowboys.
But shocking defence on that play by storm
-
really enjoying the NRL as a long term Cowboys supporter
My club has won a comp
We just smoked MelbourneNot fucking bad this
-
What's the score? Are the Warriors getting monstered in the pack without the hard man (tee hee hee) Lodge there?
NZ comms team say we are playing with better energy. Warriors up 14-12 at the half
Already seeing the benefit of having the Hawkes Bay boy back.
(This comment will spectacularly backfire on me considering - the Warriors).Fonua Blake and Tevaga having good games apparently
We missed Fonua-Blake in the back half of the game
-
This is pretty out of left field. Good on him for taking action to try other things out. Plenty of time if he realises it was a mistake and comes back.

I don't think you're too far off the QLD squad, assuming fitness. D. Fafita likely late inclusion this week for Titans so should be fit.
For NSW I can see a few changes like Cam Murray and Angus Crichton as walk ins if fit. Matterson unlikely to make it. Trbojevic likely bench.
Doubts on Haas's shoulder playing with pain now, but if fit a certain starter. I don't think there is a lot of depth in NSW props. I think Jake T played prop last year
Centre is interesting I suspect you're right , but not locked in but certainly, they may include Wighton at centre due to his experience, the last two centres were not actual centres either
but apart from that, I think you're close
-
Fuck I hope they pick the shit Turbo. That's an absolute win for Qld
-
@mariner4life yeah agree, I doubt they bring back Klemmer even though I would be thinking about it, he is has been playing 60 minutes of late and about the only consistently good thing in Newcastle
-
you know, looking at those squads, i am significantly more bullish about Qld than i was 12 months ago
12 months ago was peak "6-again massive scoreline madness" and the NSW team was packed full of guys who could really really hurt you. Tommy Turbo was the best player in the comp, Latrell was tearing shit up, Tedesco was sniffing around the ruck and tearing teams open. All the NSW hooker and halves had to do was give them the seed.
This year? The game is a bit tighter again. Tommy Turbo and Latrell are gone. Tedesco is woefully out of form (to the point he actually hinders the Roosters' attack). As good as Staggs and Crichton are, they are a huge step down from where those two were.
Yes Penrith are far and away the best side, and their two most important players are in NSW. But i expect this to be a much closer affair.
-
the fuck?
The Warriors are paying Lodge $700k not to play for us?????
This club is seriously... actually i have run out of words. fuck 'em
(that's M4L in his NQ Cowboys gear trying to get the Warriors out of his head)

yeah this is seriously Farked ..i dont often buy into the NSW league journo BS, but I agree with them, there is more to this story and it doesn't look good for the club, it is incredibly poor management and it stays on our books for 18 more months... farked I say

If Harry Grant's injury rules him out, it could make it interesting but QLD should be confident this year, especially with the resurgence of form of both Brisbane and North Queensland

WTF, I just read an article about this. Cameron George is an idiot. O'Sullivan played the Warriors big time but the Warriors diehard fans lapped him and George up as the saviours of the club.
For once I agree with Paul Kent, the NRL Integrity Unit needs to investigate this bullshit.
-
'It doesn't add up': Warriors' alleged golden handshake mystifies NRL great
The newspaper reports the payout will hurt the club's salary cap next year as well.
What a bunch of fnuckles
-
all will be forgiven if this was all so we could sign Payne Haas this week from the Broncs
-
@mariner4life lol, was thinking the same thing.. we would not be so lucky though, would be great though
-
So the idiocracy in the Warriors comes from the owner down:
‘It never came right’: The heated pub clash that triggered Matt Lodge’s shock Warriors exit
‘It never came right’: The heated pub clash that triggered Lodge’s shock Warriors exit
The more this saga goes on the more impressed I am with O'Sullivan, he's a fucking snake but I'd hire him to do my contract negotiations.
-
@Nepia you do have to wonder what was said/done by Robinson and Lodge, this still sounds like the PG cover up version. I don't think an investigation will reveal everything, they are all clearly hiding something, but i also doubt the full truth gets out.
but it does show the the owner of the club is rotten as well
