I get annoyed by comparison to Latrell and GI. Latrell copped it too, he was always compared to GI and I struggle to see how it's not a racial thing, why not compare him to a caucasian player? It's obviously not a bad comparison but why are these indigenous players being compared with other indigenous players?

Id prefer they let the kid build his own legacy. Not the next Latrell, next G.I, not even the next Lockyer. The 1st Cobbo

Still waiting on that 60 from last week

@Wolfie meant 60 points in total scored by both teams.......

But when Latrell was younger and fitter he DID look like Inglis, Cobbo doesn’t and he moves more like Gagai.

Cowboys name basically their full strength side minus Jason T

Cowboys team list: Trial v Broncos

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named a near full strength 20-man squad for Saturday night’s trial against the Brisbane Broncos at Mackay’s BB Print Stadium.

www.cowboys.com.au

What an insult to put out their reserve grade team!

We will have our full strength team (eg minus Reynolds, haas, niu and James. And only the 1st grade side for 40 mins, but a titans fan told me that's our full strength)

They actually have a pretty good team on paper. Halves are a bit dodgy but far from terrible. Backs are strong.

I think it's a myth that Paix is attacking and not defensive- his technique and tackling last year was great in a team that leaked points.

Souths averaged 28 missed tackles a game and Paix missed 14 in 10 games and only one in six of his 10 games.

I have said a lot he's more robust in 21 than 19 and his tackling has improved. He does sometimes get fatigued and go back to the wrong spot.

Glad to see we are giving Cobbo a crack at the 1. Hopefully he gives it his all and owns the jersey because I don't want to see the other options. Like Kev said we know what they bring and in my opinion it isn't any good.

Team looks like what we will run out with round 1 minus Kelly and Flegler. Jensen to take up the bench spot, Rhys Kennedy to stay at Huge's house.

I think Cobbo adds more to the team at 1 than on the wing.

A solid wing pairing of Oates and Pereira in the metre making department

Whilst yes it will make metres. I personally think that Farnworth should play wing until Tesi is back to accommodate and reward Brenko for his good form. We can't all agree, seems kev is valuing metres over reliability to start with and well who am I to complain.

Strong line up if you drop Reyno into it. Would be happy if that’s how we start the season.

 

[Unbreakable]

According to Dobbo on 9 news, Kobe Hetherington will make his starting debut this weekend.

He started last weekends trial. He also started 9 games last season.

Wait until you see his next scoop about Billy Langer getting the 6 jersey.

I would not be at all surprised if Oates makes way for Herbie and Brenko goes into centre, but Oates will lose his rag if it happens.
