Ran out of troops... Milf choked... Their tin ass try turned the game

 

[Fozz]

Milf had a massive off night and we got absolutely ravaged by injuries so to lose by one point against the reigning premiers isn't the end of the world.

Now we just have to beat the Tigers without our best forwards next week.

 

[Russell Coight]

Surely the NRL is a fixed competition.

 

[Broncoman]

Well that just hurts to lose like that. We let a chance slip through our fingers tonight we should've won that game but blew it completely. Milford had plenty of time to land that goal, Kahu missed some kicks at goal, Roberts had a brain explosion, Tamou etc rolled through us, Milford didn't play well etc. If we were good enough we would've won this but we didn't.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

All ass from the Cows. Coote had no business scoring that try, and Milf had an uncharacteristically bad game. That shank was the difference. Didn't he practice this week?

 

[Alec]

Some dumb plays and Milford cost us the win. Even with all the injuries.

Wallace was immense before getting injured IMO. I'd go as far as calling him our best bench forward for now.

brave effort sucks about injuries it may have been differant. just seems cowboys have an extra gear that we are yet to find. mainly due to thurston though. milf will get there with more exp.

Summed it up. We were spent, lost key players, got no luck and they still won by one point.

 

[Fozz]

Why did we go to Hunt for the last attempt at FG? He never bloody kicks them!

Maybe word of Locky's pregame prediction of a Hunt FG filtered down....

 

[Battler]

Would have won if we didn't lose half of our back line.

We couldn't fucking buy a penalty in the second half, the cows got away with murder in the last ten. Tamou also looked like he was acting as a blocker for the field goal.

He struck it far better than any of Milford's, dunno why he wouldn't have a crack, it travelled nearly 60 metres and only missed by a few metres.

 

[bb_gun]

Lost to the Cowboys, by 1 point, at their home, with 1 player on the bench, with at least 4 forward passes uncalled. Not unhappy with that. We were down and out with 20 to go and still they didn't pile the points on. Hopefully Thurston has broken his fucking ribcage and is out for 10 weeks.

 

[Wolfie]

IF Kahu kicked that easy conversion we win.

 

[_wwong]

Meh. Now for the dreaded origin period. More pain to come

 

[jd87]

any 1 notice that thurston shoulder charge at start of game? not one commentator even mentioned it they just stayed silent and channel 9 refused to show the footage again

 

[Fernando]

Kahu's missed goal from next to the upright and Milfords shocker of a field goal cost us in the end.

But the way the Cows big men continue to dominate us in the last 20 minutes is crazy. They are on a different level to any other opponent. Scott, Tamou and Taumalolo just kill us at the back end and give JT, Morgan and Granville so many opportunities.

I don't see how we stop them, nothing seems to change from game to game.

What about the one from Matt Scott? Cummins is a moron.
