PRE-GAME NRL Round 1 - Cowboys vs Broncos

[the_next]

I wonder if tonight will get cancelled, everything else seems to be getting canned or postponed.
If not, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first and only time for a few weeks we see the boys play. It may actually work in our favour.
Either way, interesting times ahead..

I don't think tonight will be, but it won't be long till games are played in front of empty stadiums. Roosters have been prepped for corona planning for a while now.

 

[Unbreakable]

Excited for tonight, nothing bad has ever happened on Friday the 13th.

 

[Finbar]

Geez that injury list is getting pretty long.

Sure is, the suspended/stood down list doesn't help either. We've got 9 players with 618 NRL games worth of experience between them either injured or suspended. The young fellas are going to have to play near their best if we are to get some wins to start the season.

I was very confident of a win when i saw the cowgirl side. Now I'm not so confident.

I remain very confident of a win tonight. However it might well be our only win this season as I can't see this season lasting much longer. Given the AFL season might not even start, I see the NRL going the same way.

What the **** are we gonna do without footie?

He can add Keenan palasia to that list, which means 3 ACL injuries for us.

SOS is still rehabbing his 2019 ACL injury as well. Our top 30 currently has 4 ACL injuries, 1 hamstring injury, 1 shoulder injury, 1 suspension, 1 Darius Boyd and 1 Andrew McCullough. The troubling part about this is we don't have the luxury of being able to drop every underperforming player. If Kennedy or Hopoate stink it up tonight we still have to pick them until Glenn or Ofa are back.

We also had a drug dealer as well

NRL have said round 1 games will go ahead(At this stage at least), future rounds will be discussed however.

Unfortunately yes , what happened to the prop from the Bulldogs we signed ?

 

[Medic]

Bring on the Game! Might not be a crowd there tonight. Which could be a advantage to us.

 

[mitch222]

How glourious would it be the open a new stadium to an empty audience
If this happens tonight this is our last game for Atleast a month

Ese'Ese? I don't know who else we signed from them in the past five years sorry.

Good catch. So that's only 22 top 30 players available. Only Paix, Vudogo and Kennar missed the 21 man side this week, which included Bird and 1 development player as we were straight up exhausted of our forwards.

I think he is talking about Trimm who was on a trial

Timm was from the Dragons I thought. Either way he's not in our top 30 or our development list as it stands currently.

 

[Locky’s Left Boot]

What the **** are we gonna do without footie?

Talk about toilet paper? Or considering hanging ourselves?

 

[Big Pete]

pagey is talking about Tualau who is on the bench for the Seagulls.

He was on a train and trial deal with the club.

 

[rnabokov]

Either way things will get really painful if we flog the Cows tonight only to find out the season is no more
