Round 8 Game Thread *Spoilers*

Is the 20/40 rule still a thing? Every team seems to have forgot about it. Might catch someone off guard with it if we give it a try there literally hasn’t been one all season

Very low percentage play if you don't regain possession the opposition will be on your line at the end of their set

I really hate saying it but Gutherson is having a blinder...eeehhww...there I said it.

Gross

Lol yeah I know, but credit where credit’s due I guess. Still has a highly punchable face though ?

He and forum favourite Mitch Moses have the most punchable faces in the NRL.

Yup it’s way too risky a play for a minimal reward especially with the 6 again being so common now

Fairdinkum, the cowboys are wo**bolded text**eful at times.

Been underperforming for years, considering their cattle. I wonder if Cronk thinks Taumalolo should’ve signed with Melbourne or the Roosters instead of pledging himself to the Cowboys long term?

Lol... he'll only have 150 games in him

The way he plays, he may well will only get to 150! Can’t carry a team forever.

It's absolutely amazing that they have, as you say, underperformed for so long. They've had the players no doubt. And the coaches have never been rookies. Plenty of support. Just such a crap club I guess. No heart.

Yeah their lack of real ongoing success needs to be questioned, but it won’t be. Not quite as bad as the Titans, but not that much better overall really either, considering all the reasons you mentioned above.

I'll go out on a limb and say the Titans will come good. The cowboys I have no confidence in

That’s a short limb, I can’t see it ? Would certainly make for a more interesting comp if they did though.

I know. I don't even know why but I just think there's an attitude shift there of late.

True and buying well for next season if all the rumours are true.

Interesting that Moses is injured and the next cab of the rank for Parra is one of their developmental contract players. Do they have other injuries in the halves at the moment?

Due to covid development players can play as long as they were in the bubble..

I know they are allowed to play this year. No problem there. I’m just curious that he was the next man up so to speak.

They picked him over Salmon who’s in their top squad

Thanks. Not great for Salmon.

And Moylan, don’t forget Moylan!

1st picked for QLD..

Had that one amazing year and has never come close since. I guess teams figured him out

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Hess.....what happened to that guy? Such a regression of form.

One amazing rookie year and that was it. Happens quite a bit actually.

 

[rustycage]

Looking at Drinkwater, I feel kind of sorry for the bloke. He's really trying but those around him are just terrible. Should O'Neill even play the game?

So Grant could go to Melbourne next year and be a dud??

Anyone notice the parra ball boy

They’ve left that young fella out for O’Neill. Really bad selection from green

 

[rustycage]

Sivo for leading try scorer after this weekend surely. Noffa wouldnt be happy. Fire up Nof!!!

 

[hobbo1]

Marsters 😂

Ultimate spook play 😂

Maybe...as long as it’s with Melbourne ?

 

[rustycage]

Just noticed that Sivo didn't even pull a hammy when he fell over the line there.

 

[WswWt]

Seriously Sivo... good luck ever stopping him
