Hoping the cows start to run out of juice.

I feel sad.

JWH created that hole not Pearce, was the inside man's tackle to make.

You are kidding. Pearce bought that dummy big time. It was his man in the end and he forgot the old adage that the most dangerous attacker is the one with the ball.

Terrible first half. Way too many errors. Fifth tackle options were bad too. No pressure on the cows at all. All,credit to the cowboys they played well and know how to put pressure on us. Morgan is the danger with his kicks keeping us down our end. Is Pearce playing?

We’ve got the talent just too many errors.

Cows played almost a perfect half but we scored the only time we got down there. We'll win this.

As long as we can get some more possession down their end.

Cows starving us of the ball

You had me convinced we were going to beat the storm Tommy. Make up your mind man

Haha they've wrecked my nerves.

They're just playing so timid and scared.

Pearce has been invisible. Completely outplayed by Morgan that half. He needs to change that in the 2nd half.

Cowboys have played such a simple game plan. Run hard and don’t make any mistakes.

[ROC181]

It doesn't matter now who let who in but it's important to get the attack happening. It's blunt and pedestrian at times. Sure the cows are putting in there but we should have more to get around them.

mitchell is rocks and diamond at the moment. His last touch was a mistake so I expect some brilliance in his next carry.

This btw, is why I desperately would've preferred the Eels.

Average first half by the chooks- lucky try has kept us in touch and only down by 2 points (6-8) - we wont score a lot of points so they really need to control sets and limit errors and penalties- made too many so far in the first half and also stop the cows offloads. they will go into the sheds with confidence knowing we don't have many points in us - all they need to do is complete their sets/ low errors and penalties and kick for touch to slow the game down. Chooks require a big second half to win this game - Not sure why Toops didn't start and if not fit Evans should have been in the 17 instead

That's no gimme either. Who knows, we probably would have found a way to play like this against them too. It's not like we haven't lost to dud teams this year.

Works 9 times out of 10. What's our game plan? Everyone look at me?

Yep.

How do we get out of this ? My worst fears realised ...

I don't think I've ever felt so nervous during a game. Cmon God we can't let Smith hold up the trophy please. To deny those Melbourne turds. I'd cream my pants!
