We should be good to go then.....

 

[eyewondertoo]

Back to the scene of crimes in 2023 and 2022.in Townsville.
2023 the 70 point capitulation and the short whistle fiasco the year before.
Let's hope it doesn't become a set of three.

[Jedi_Tiger]

When is Cesar back?

probably when latu fainu is fit ....

 

[Spartan117]

That's a very inexperienced back line.

Future focused

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Stay happy. You will find after our game on the weekend Kepoa is not the problem...

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

That's a very inexperienced back line.

Future focused

In buying them or selling them?

 

[TigerVinnie]

That's probably the worst looking backline I have seen. Really shows our depth issues.

 

[Spartan117]

Was Sione Fainu that bad to deserve the drop

 

[Lauren]

IDK maybe Benji is focused on trying to assemble a team that are capable of scoring some points - we've only managed to do this against the Sharks. The cupboard is pretty bare.

Regardless of who's in the side, a few of the Cowboys players will surely be contending for an origin jersey. So best of luck to the boys🍀🤞🍀

Welcome to the NRL Casey 👋

Thats the thing. This team smashed the Sharks. What happened? It falls back on the coach.... doesn't it....

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

That backline….

Tough on Fainu but Seyfarth has been relatively consistent for us and they are the two fighting it out for that last spot. Suspect overall experience is also a factor.

 

[king_sirro]

Faataape has regressed in Cup these last few weeks. Feledy has been the better of the two and deserves his spot on current form. ultimately, picking players on forum and being accountable is the basis of good culture.

I am concerned at the dearth of experience and the lack of quality in that backline tho. sheesh.

Faataape has been playing out of position though

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Seyfarth goes well. Like other follow formers have mentioned. Busts his guts. Twal is a plodder. First time I've ever used that word. Just makes up the numbers... Fainu outclassed him.. both of them....

 

[king_sirro]

It’s an upgrade on Kasey I guess

Belinda is a reasonable ref.

 

[supercoach]

This has Keith Eshman at centre vibes…

Or Lovett

 

[supercoach]

Belinda is a reasonable ref.

She had a Barry last time she referred us, but I guess we don’t help ourselves when it comes to refs

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its not just us.... its across the board.... except for Roosters....

 

[Wiz]

We are on a 5 day turnaround (Sunday night to Friday night) and have to go from Brisbane last week back to Sydney and up to Townsville. This will be a smashing.
