Agree with the summary except that I think this Cowboys side is a long way from being star studded.

I agree Naden isn't up to scratch, defensively, as a centre. So I'm not trying to defend him when I say this. But I think blaming him is way to simplistic. We just got rolled through the middle (like we always do) and left him to make too many defensive decisions as the Cowboys shifted off their...

Eels. Ryles was a bit of a mentor of his at Melbourne.

I believe you can sponsor a player conditional of them being at a club. If you are a local business it would only make sense you want to sponsor a local player. The only example I can really remember in the media is Parra BMW sponsoring Moses. It was reported when before re-signing with eels...

A blessed run with injuries and we're a chance but even still I put us a quality middle short.

Anyone ever seen Bula kick a ball? He has the mechanics to have a long kick (long levers, fast twitch fibres), just never seen him do it. He also has the speed to run other chasers on side. If he can add a kicking option to his game as many other fullbacks offer I think it could really add...

Good player. Ordinarily I'd be happy with him at the club except that I want whatever cap we have left going towards forwards.

I feel like I recall someone else mentioning it prior to Vicious. I assume he has just picked it up and ran with it as though it was fact.

Yeah Geyer really announced himself as a player of potential a couple seasons ago. He hasn't progressed much since. I am hopeful he can kick on and it is more limited opportunities (and some of his untimely injuries) holding him back. For the record I was the one saying Geyer is a better player...

Based on? Probably slightly higher work rate but nothing else.

Hopefully we can put this rumour, and the forum's weird fascination with him, to an end. The bloke belongs in reserve grade.

No. We did not only win because it was wet. The weather was a contributing factor in the win.

Dogs normal game isn't 'open'. As I said in the post you replied to it is out working teams with mobility through the middle. Line speed, wrestle and discipline as well as footwork and to a lesser extent short passing at the line. However you may also notice it was at Alliance. The ground...

I believe in it from an experience perspective. He is experienced enough to know what is needed when and is a good communicator to say this is what we're going to do boys. But a leader that drives standards, holds himself and others accountable and can teach younger players professionalism he...

Latu is 18 months away, assuming the next 18 months he is playing in the halves and learning his craft. We can't play him as a lock or bench utility for the next 18 months and expect him to be then ready to step into the halves after that. Ideally we'd be a strong enough side he would be...

Happy to if you send a link but not going to go searching for it this time of night. But if the comments you are referring to is the Latu is still 18months off comment you mentioned in a previous post, i'd say no shit. You don't need to be Cooper Cronk to know that. You will note I'm not against...

We did not find any blue print. The rain played into our hands. Dogs out work teams with a smaller more mobile pack. They could not utilise that mobility in the wet. Our team was up for the fight whilst Dogs showed up expecting the win. Add in a couple moments of pure luck and it stacked up to a...

Im far from convinced he can be a genuine lock forward. If I was devising a game plan to keep Latu and Doueihi (and Bula) on the field, Doueihi would have the 13 on his back and defend in the middle but would play right side in attack. Latu would defend right half position but be the first...

I've been pretty critical of Doueihi in the past. I've cited a lot of similar issues Jolls has and used to get frustrated when praise was heaped Doueihi by fans and commentators alike who'd often label him our sides best player. Additionally I put little to no credence in some of the reasons...

Might be the smartest thing Nadens ever done
