Cowboys V Panthers (Spoilers)

[Charmamba]

8-0 to the Panthers. Thurston just isnt clicking yet.

 

[Browny]

Just wait til the 60th minute

 

[Charmamba]

Barny (sp?) Knocks on 2m out from his own line. Panthers feed

 

[Charmamba]

Panthers in again. Walsh gets it down.


12-2 kick to come.

 

[Charmamba]

Panthers 14-2 at Half time.

Not flash football but still rough and entertaining.

 

[Charmamba]

Cowboys finally in after some very lazy defense from the panthers.

Bolton darts over from DH on the 5th.

Panthers 14-8

 

[Charmamba]

very lucky try to the Panthers there "Luke Lewis" gets it awarded for a double.

You gotta see the replay of this one to understand it. Panthers 20-8

 

[Charmamba]

little Willie T in for the cowboys a flash try this one and yes it was on the 60th Minute. Now Thurstons flash 20 should start.

Panthers 20-14

 

[Charmamba]

Cowboys in again Bolton this time. Kick to come but we all know its in so 20-20


Thurston loves the final 20minutes of games but untill they can play the full 80 or at least a 60 they wont make the 8.

 

[Charmamba]

bad play the ball by Webb. Panthers feed 10 out from the cowboys line.

 

[Bucking Beads]

[Charmamba]

Yeh cowboys came home strong in the final 20. Before that looked crap.

28-20 final score

[Coxy]

Pity he doesn't get the best out of his teammates, other than Tonga.

thurston show featuring tonga strikes again. best player in the comp by a country mile.

Im standing by my theory that his only good for 20minutes.

He just did not click into gear until the 60th minute

Thats the thing about great players like thurston and lockyer. they bide their time until the gaps are there before injecting themself. I do find it very ironic that ppl on here claim thurston only clicks into gear late in the game, when for years and years we have been relying on a halfback to control the game at the broncos, until lockyer feels like injecting himself into the fray.

Thurston isnt an idiot, he obviously waits until the opposition is tiring before really attacking them. If you watch the game u will see the first half he is happy to pass the ball on, tired the defence, then later in the game, he runs the ball himself.

Or hes just saying "look boys, im not going to be here forever, so u guys have the first half to practice life without me, and in the 2nd half ill just win the game for us" [icon_razz1 [icon_lol1.

Spot on. Thurston, like all great players, doesn't NEED to be on for 80 minutes. Hell, 15 minutes almost put us away last weekend and that was giving them a 24-point headstart.

But if we beat the Cows by six, who beat the Panthers by eight, who beat the Raiders by like 18 points last week... we should be up for a good'un tomorrow night!?
