Is that Giggity Up in NQ?

[OMR]

The battle in the forwards will determine the winner of this match, and both packs look awsome. Thurstone needs to be pressured and not given time to marshal his troops otherwise we could suffer a heavy defeat.

I have the utmost confidence in the team, and for SBW to have his best game of the year so far.

JWH needs his biggest game of the year ,Friend and Moa the rest can play on the back of them.
I am not a fan of changing the x factor because of a missing halfback I wouldve just played Langi in Pearces place or Morts if he was available.

6 ex Roosters in that Nth Qld lineup if Hall plays, would've been 7 had Rona been fit.

[The Rooster Oracle]

Oh no turk, the DC is going to slit his wrists now that you have done the match thread instead of him! What a shame, I'm devastated, oh well R.I.P DC.

SBW needs to step up and play his best game of the year so far tonight.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Thanks man.

[fletch]

apparently Jason Taumalolo in big doubt for the Cowboys

also wouldn't be shocked if Stranger was on the bench for us tonight as well.

[Rooster_6]

Did Morts make the trip up?

Did Morts make the trip up?

not sure, but Stranger was doing plenty of work at dummy half during the week, club never did announce how bad the hamstring strain for morts was.

the SG Ball boys are down 18-4 at halftime up in Townsville, not surprising as apparently the Townsville Stingers side has 11 members from the Cowboys NYC side in it.

No inside info but I feel Morts will start at 6 or 7

I reckon Sonny will play the first 20 with Langi or Morts coming on to play 5/8
