[Super Freak]

Tyrone Peachey playing fullback.

I don't see that working out. He doesn't strike me as the kind of player that could handle playing 80 minutes at fullback. It requires a lot more running than what he is currently doing.

 

[Harry Sack]

My Sauce tells me that Ponga is out. Apparently he failed his physical, but still travelled with the team? Anyone confirm?

Roosters left edge is probably the best in the comp. Cordner, nothing much needs to be said about him, one of the best 2nd rowers in the world. Keary has been arguably in the top 3 or 4 halves this year. Mitchell is the most damaging centre in the comp when switched on (and with experience he'll be switched on for longer). Tedesco is in the top 2 fullbacks this year, probably number 1 with Ponga missing so much footy. I think they also have a winger too.

I hope some team figures out how to contain them, so we'll all learn in time.

I think Rabbitohs left edge is more dangerous.

Luke and Harris are confirmed out.

Well, we contained them last time.

 

[Alec]

Well, we contained them last time.

They put on a few tries on us, we just struck back. Their form seems to have improved in further since then too.

 

[Unbreakable]

Why are the Cowboys so bad, I dont get it.

 

[jarro65]

What the hell is wrong with the Cowboys this season ?!?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Watching the Cowboys play this shit the day after we win a crucial game is the cure to depression

 

[PerthBrissy987]

Be surprised if green isn’t sacked after this year tbf

 

[Horseheadsup]

Forward pass missed.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I think he will survive but told in uncertain terms no repeat in 2019.

 

[jarro65]

Gee Thurston looks 'tired'

Cowboys are a rabble, can't believe i tipped them [emoji53]

 

[Harry Sack]

The decline in this Cowboys side is absolutely staggering. They don't cop nearly enough criticism for their recruitment and retention.
