can’t fault the guys
Cowboys were up for it with the farewelling of players and leaving the stadium
We really put in

But jack cogger unused on the bench when we could have used another big forward was a total waste given the conditions when forwards struggled
I hope this strategy ends now

What cost us:

1: Shit defensive read from meaney.

2:Lewis' arrogance hogging good ball from foran and not wanting to take a field goal early.

the issue here is with these two players out of position. Meaney is a fullback or nothing. Lewis isnt a half. Sure he has the best defence but thats not what you need from a half. He should be in the centres.

We really missed cogger there. Just because we won those last few matches it doesnt mean wasting a benchspace is a good thing. Dud decision.

Dwz try was a try
His right hand never at any stage comes away from the ball
Perenara is a pig
But the pig may get offended
Scum

Fucking bunker cost us 2 overturned stuff ups or was it done on purpose
Yeh nah it shouldnt come down to that. All it wouldve taken was one field goal from us to bring the momentum in our favour the last few minutes.

That isn't why we lost. We had multiple chances to put them away in the 1st half but we didn't have enough polish to the end of our sets. 1 of the most important moments in the arm wrestle that went against us was the RFM offload, which resulted in a Cowboys try. Also Okunbor is too passive as a player (probably as a person too) and doesn't show that he's up for the competitiveness of the NRL.

Also it's obvious that no one in our team is confident taking field goals.

I think Meaney has been playing really well on the wing
Bad read tonight but apart from that has been very good

No way you can replace dwz

DWZ? I said nothing about him? He should stay in FB.

Too passive? Okunbor made 186 metres, 63 post contact metres and 7 tackle breaks, shat all over Meaney

I don't care about statistics. Just look at him and how he reacts to situations, especially in defence. Meaney was much better then Okunbor today... lol (AHHHH BUT MEANEY DIDN'T MARK HIS MAN IN 1ST COWBOYS TRY...)

'Stats don't mean anything'

You clearly didn't watch the game, Meaney cost us the game first by being a blind bat and not marking his man, something you learn as a 5 yo, and then missing the conversion to put us infront. Okunbors runs constantly got us on the front foot and he didn't drop a ball or make a bad read all night.

Yea it was a terrible read , but he wouldn’t have been in that situation had RFM’s not thrown that stupid ass 360 offload to no one

Okunbur played well

Definitely very poor read by Meaney but I thought he had a decent game. Some really good runs and has been in great form so can’t really lay into him

1. Lewis being putrid in attack.
2. Foran being a passenger for large periods
3. Lewis being putrid in attack.
4. DWZ clearly playing injured.
5. JMK being a drop kick at dh.
6. Lewis being putrid in attack.

Won't mention Pay...but pretty much everyone else done their jobs, yh there were a few errors but that's going to happen. RFM and To'omaga off the bench were great while Smith also brought energy. Backs pretty much stifled by our spine so probably done as much as the average back. Most other forwards were good..CHN struggled but if would've been hard trying to play football outside Lewis.
