Proud of that

Other the cowboys we have played all last years top 8 teams, so far.

Our upcoming draw is:
Manly
Dragons
Titans
Knights
Warriors
Dragons

If we play like we did last night, we win 6 in a row to be 7 from 12 and on a roll, cement our combinations.

Let's send some collective positive vibes to the team, instead of willing negativity

It's pretty sad that some can't bring themselves to congratulate the blokes on the way they played after that display. Some of you fellas seriously need to get a life. It must really hurt to see the team improve. All your negativity & death riding is gonna eat you up in the end.

I’m tired of this forum being bipolar. Last week everyone wanted to hang them from a tree for the pitiful effort. Then last night, only 6 days later, “omg what heart”. We’ve seen it all before, so why get sucked in when we know it’s only once a month they show it, if that. How many times have we been proud and thought the heart they showed in a game was somehow a turning point, it never is. Remember last year against Parra, Blore’s debut. We took it to them, then the next week, went right back to mud. In hindsight, our performance that night was only due to the fact Parra were falling away late in the season. Feel free to keep the faith, but I’m a seasoned Wests supporter whose been around the block more than a few times with this team. They need to start doing that consistently before they earn pride.

The best thing was the dodgy calls that went against us in previous weeks have seen them capitulate ..tonight they didn't.. can be proud of that ..hope it continues..

P.S..the dope in the bunker should read the rule book..when you drag to ball forward on the ground constitutes a knock-on


Blunder Bunker strikes again. I'll get sick of saying that by years end.

You've got to give credit where it's due. You can't give them a mouthful last week for a poor effort then not be pleased with the way they turned it around yesterday.

80min+ effort. Never gave up on the game.
We play like that every week and we win more than we lose.

I know what your saying and I kinda agree but Every season West’s have a one or two “brave” loses.

If things are to change they have to be brave wins. Sick of loosing games like this and to loose them in ridiculous circumstances.

What was ridiculous circumstances?
They busted their guts tonight. Got some pathetic calls go against them. Hardly a disgraceful loss.

Two simultaneous try’s in golden point? . Nah that’s normal everyday way to loose....

Where did I say disgraceful? Where did I question the effort?

My point was that brave losses still mean no two points. Don’t try to twist my comment into something it’s not.

Keep ya jocks on fella. How can there be 2 tries in golden point?
Didn't once mention that you said disgraceful, I said it was hardly a disgraceful loss (you mentioned 'ridiculous circumstances' and I asked what was ridiculous). Don't read things into posts that are a figment of your imagination?.

Care to explain the 2 golden point tries? Funny to see someone bail out on a disagreement when they've been called out for posting garbage. Seeya champ indeed.

Yea , but Souths weren’t off thier game though . The completion rate , intensity , and nature of that game , is what people are talking about . IMO it was nothing like the Parra game . It was more like the panthers game last year . A high quality match .
You can’t get upset over them showing what you want to see , even if the result wasn’t the 2 points .
And there’s the fact , we all want to believe . Yea it makes us delusional , but one day , we won’t be , one day it won’t be a false dawn and it will be the real thing .
Ask Patriots supporters what it was like to go for that team , prior to Brady . It was worse then going for us . It was like going for the Gold Coast seagulls , by all accounts . The team just sucked ... always .
Same as the Cleveland browns , who have turned a corner , the golden state warriors were a joke for years , Leicester City , the Richmond tigers . The turn comes eventually.
 
Bottom line is if they play like that week in week out they will win more games than they lose. The question is can they do it?

We'd have two more wins under our belt with that kind of effort all season

I know at 1-5 it sounds ridiculous, but I give us a huge chance in every game until the first bye.

It’s unlikely but not inconceivable we could go on a solid unbeaten run or go something like 5-2.

The spine looks like it’s finally set. Things are starting to click. We just need to get a couple of wins in a row and remember what it’s like to win.

I think it’s fair to say that next week is do or die for the season. That has to be the players attitude.

BJ probably back. Or Mbye.

Mbye needs to stay in his current role. We’re finally getting some value out of him.

Stick Cini anywhere in the backline. He is in full beastmode at the moment!

I'm very pleased yet wary of the future... Hopefully it's the start
of some good things for a long time

There’s no reason why we can’t go 7-0 . This game this afternoon is a case in point . If we play like we did last night against these teams , we would blow them off the park .

Cini isn’t NRL grade yet. Work in progress

My preference would definitely be for Mbye to stay in his current role, but I think Madge will start him. I'd like to see Cini get his chance too, he's shown that he'd be up to it.
 
If memory serves, Maguire said that what the team really needed was a change in attitude, and that they could achieve it in one week.
They did. They played with commitment.
Ok the combinations are still building, but that game restored my faith in both the team and the coach.
Proud of the performance? Yes.
P'd off we lost but can't criticise the effort.
 
I'll be honest and Im probably in the minority.

As I mentioned after last weeks Cowboys flogging, I didnt watch the game, but did see highlights today.

I wont be watching this mob for some time, and the taste of what they served up in the Tommy tribute match will be with me for a long time. One single game after that, evern if it was a complete 80 effort game means little.

You dont cheat on your missus last week and all is forgiven because you bought flowers this week. Its totally unacceptable and this current mob need to work hard, for a long time, to earn my trust. As a member, I have the right to hold that view.

It will be some time before I watch this group again with any excitement. Some time indeed.
