The Cowboys have secured Scott Drinkwater on a two-year contract extension, per News Corporation. The cows now have Chad Townsend, Tom Dearden & Scott Drinkwater signed as halves options in 2022.

Payten is bringing together a good Nth Qld side. I always enjoy league more when the Cowboys are going well. It is a rugby league stronghold deserving of a strong team.

Personally I enjoy it when the wests tigers are going well. Stuff the cowboys and their coach

I wish we had their coach.

I’d never have guessed that.

I wouldn’t regardless of his “style” he whiteanted us and caused us problems we are only just getting over, but each to their own

Yeah I know but where is his team sitting?

Lol he has Gus Gould’s juniors playing for him you or I could coach them to second place. Probably win it as well.

He was a has been until we threw him a lifeline and he threw us under the bus.

Rather flanno sr

Sorry that’s your other favourite.

Payton needs to finish a season as a head coach before he’s the messiah

He did that at the Warriors and did well. Ask our players who'd they prefer?

I cant recall any clubs lining up for players coming over from Super League. Bateman, hodgson, Burgess etc. Just the nature of it. People heading down this rabbitt hole are just looking for justification of their opinion of the guy.

Ill back Hastings thanks, Looks exactly what we need. A player with ego and pride.

Jackson Hastings is a Great Britain international and Man of Steel. Can't understand why Ricky Stuart, being a pretty useful half in his day, preferred George Williams over him.

You got me, got me so hard I couldn't even be bothered trying to explain it lol.

Would be a handy winger and halves/fullback depth for us
 
The Storm and Panthers are far ahead of other sides in the competition when it comes to developing players. The game has changed , but the requirements have not. Speed is crucial but the basics of tackling, kicking, offloading etc have not.
It is obvious these sides spend a lot of time at training developing these skills, and no doubt have specialist coaching staff for this. These basic skills were the basis of the great St George sides that won so many premierships, and other great sides since, and now the Storm. It is obvious to me that the Tigers are lacking in these basics, and more thought should be given to aquire specialists in these areas.
 
Anyone notice that some of the boys have been away (gone home) this week?

Daine for example had went home from the start of the week, wonder how you gel and make combos when you're away.

before people say stuff like it could be personal and stuff, I have not factored that in.

Putting a team of pommy's together likely keeps them together
And who said Ricky didn't try and get Hastings
And Hastings probably wasn't interested in coming back at that time
Hastings has probably achieved what he set out to do in England
Now he may be on a mission down under

I’m surprised Hastings joined us tbh. I can’t image we are paying big coin and there are loads of clubs looking for a good half...

Maybe cos he isn’t that good. The fact that clubs weren’t lining up for him should be a giveaway.

Can't wait to actually see if he's any good before deathriding him... or just hoping he doesn't come good so you can say 'I told you so'?
Just maybe we were actually smarter than a few clubs this time.

Why would I deathride him? ?

The standard of ESL is at best the same quality as KOE. It’s a safe assumption to think he’s not better than anyone whose already here.

I would be surprised if he is not better then, TT, the Phantom JTJ, the spack attack JL, the song and a prayer Cini, and the fans second favourite Nouffa last years great winger ?

Put it simply, when we made a break and the following tackle Brooks looked panicked, I believe Hastings would have turned that into a try 9 times out of 10.

I'm far from that confident. I hope you are right.

Everyone is disappointed with his departure, CK more than anyone because he didn't take Brooks with him so his idol Jackson could grace us with his lack of pace.

Here’s a bloke forever blowing smoke up Brooks backside having a go at me for wanting to give Jackson a chance.????

FWIW I believe Benji would have done the same, but he can't tackle so...
