cowboys by 12 +

Gidley also ruled out for the Knights which is a massive blow for them. Should still be a good game, hopefully JT and Matty Bowen can produce some of their old tricks as it's a joy to watch when there both playing well and are full of confidence.

Tough one to call this. Gidley and Costigan out for the Knights probably sways it to the Cowboys for me.


NQ by a score

Knights lead 16-6 at HT. They've been pretty good but the Cowboys have turned the clock back to last season, they are appauling.
How does Mick Bani play for an NRL team? The guy is shocking, there's gotta be some young kids in the NYC that are better than him, he cant defend against anyone so to put him up against Uate is asking for trouble. He got bundled into touch when he should of scored, he cant catch bombs, Tonga needs to help him out more because he's struggling and he did all last season. James Tamou was pathetic in defence for one of the tries aswell. Cowboys struggle in defence at the best of times and it hasn't improved from last years shocking efforts.
Jarrod Mullen looks in good form, he's kicked two 40/20's already and his kicking game is good all round. Uate should get a bag ful of tries here, he's got 1 already and he's good in defence aswell as under the high ball, he's nailed on for the NSW side this year. Is there a better winger than him?

The Cowboys have got to be the worst side i've seen along with the Sharks, they never improve. They got rid of about 12 players and brought new players in and there still the same.
Thurston has been really poor, his kicking is none excistent and the young kid Thompson doesn't get involved in anything. Neil Henry has got to get sacked, he's in his 3rd year and there getting worse year on year. Last week they were lucky against the Broncos, they scrambled well but the Broncos were poor. The Knights are winning 34-6 and there's 15 mins to go. All the players they've bought are average clubmen, Tate and Johnson are the two good ones but Tate is never fit and Johnson is just a tackling machine. Glenn Hall couldn't get a game for Bradford last year, Gavin Cooper is average, Ashton Sims is poor, Payne has been poor for a couple of years now, Ben Jones is a reserve utility, the wingers Bani and Graham cant defend and hardly ever score, their both full of errors aswell and Henry has stuck with them over Fai Fai Loa who he brought in. They really have got a poor side apart from the odd few players and the errors they make is unreal. Tamou has dropped the ball dead about 7 times, they all have. Everytime they get a penalty they spill it on the first tackle, from a kick return Bowen always throws it to his wingers and they knock on in the first tackle 20m out. What a shocking team they are.
