Easts V Cowboys Match thread

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Has Sonny hit the line once only for the ball to go to ground?

What's with the big fella?

I expected him to dominate this one.

It's very satisfying knowing that the prick Thurston will never win another premiership.

not sure Robbo has ever blown a gasket at the players but now would be as good a time as any.

I wonder what the players would be thinking seeing Pearce sitting in the change rooms in trackies when he should be on the field, not sure he should have been rewarded with a trip to Townsville after his performance last weekend.

I guess there is the after game party which Pearce is organising.

Sonny Bitch Williams is doing jackshit!! Wow what a game! I feel sorry for mini and friend, only 2 playing well

Watcing the half time highlights only one of their tries wasnt a fluke off a kick. We have just had no luck coupled with refs only policing one team in the ruck. That said we are nowhere near the team of last year but it will come

[The Axe]

Our defense is absolutely shit they are killing me.
So Pearce's absence has been costly we are completely disorganized.
I said it was a bad move to have Sonny Bludger Bill at 5/8th.
and some painful ref stuff.
i wanna know how their second try was awarded when two players were clearly off side right in front of the kicker?.
Our forwards are been steam rolled by the bloke I said we must buy Tariq Sims .You dont rate Him then your mad.He is better than Lui and Frank Paul and currently Heargraves has become crap.
They would be very lucky to turn this around Im doubtful.

I posted earlier that I had a feeling Morts would start. I cannot fathom SBW at 6. I'm not speaking in hindsight. One of Robbo's poorer decisions.

Buth then look at the stats. Every Cowboys forward is around 100 metres. We are in 30s and 40s. We were owned in that half but great Cowboy forward play, plenty of luck, plenty of stupidity and lots of 50/50s going against us.

Very satisfying for him being best player in the world and a tool calling him a prick from his arm chair.

When's Jarred going to get his mojo back!
He's playing like a fricken woman![

[IRoosterManI]

Thurston was minimum 2 mtrs in front of the kicker, on the mini no try Tupou knocked it on after a) the cowboy knocked it on 1st and b) Tupou is tackled without the ball??

yup... the Ikin suggested he was playing at the ball... but the cowboys player was clearing watching the ball bounced then grabbed hold of Tupou and started to pull him away from the ball...only to let go after Jennings took it. it should have been a penalty to us, it doesnt excuse the rest of the game but it seems like we just never get the 50/50 calls and tonight even the ball is bouncing away from us.... hard to beat that.

At least Brent Tate won the Steve Matai - Martin Kennedy Injury Reaction Award.

Robbo needs to enforce an alcohol ban for the rest of the season

Don't be so sure of that, Cowboys have one of the best 4 squads this season and a very good young coach....I actually have them in my grand final against us and beating us

We can put this down to Boyd and Pearcey's Excellent Adventure. Thanks fellas. Thats what team sport is all about. Being there for your mates.

Interesting that Boyd has left the field, aparently a bad cork.

[RoosterRooster]

Never seen SBW so disinterested. Was expecting some input to lead by example when it got tough but no where in sight.

[Spanner in the works]

Why let it bounce?
