[Foordy]

Savelio Tamale reportedly asked Ricky to be dropped to reserve grade this week.

He felt he had lost some confidence after his start to the season, and wanted to work on his craft for the week down in the reserve grade competition before returning to the NRL.

 

[JayPee]

That is karma. Ridiculous 6 again for a dominant tackle.

 

[Brocko]

Koula bamboozled himself

 

[_wwong]

So Seibold was the problem.

 

[Brocko]

Well that was poor from Clifford, better from Brooks

 

[_wwong]

Cowboys couldn’t put a foot wrong last week.

 

[Fozz]

Turf is already badly chopped up, have the locals been hooning on the field?

 

[Brocko]

Cowboys couldn’t put a foot wrong last week.

They've already conceded the same amount of 6 agains as last week and its 5 mins in

 

[Fozz]

The duality of Brooks

 

[Brocko]

Back to poor for Brooks

 

[_wwong]

Chester seems to have handling issues even without a disruptor

 

[Harry Sack]

I can't take Jake T serious in that ****ing headgear man...

Looks like a ribbed condom.

 

[BroncsFan]

Cows look flat after playing their GF last week.

Eagles need to get on top early before some assy bullshit wakes cows up

 

[Brocko]

Lucky break getting a stoppage there

 

[_wwong]

I can't take Jake T serious in that ****ing headgear man...

Looks like a ribbed condom.

 

[BroncsFan]

Turbo injured... cows getting their usualy bullshit luck.

Manly have bombed like 3 tries already and now no Tom

 

[Fozz]

Reset the Turbo injury clock
