Very disappointed with the Cowboys line up, they've got Robert Lui from the Tigers and stuck with Ray Thompson. Last year the young winger FaiFai Loa was fantastic in his first season and even got called up to the Kiwi test side yet he's been dropped for round one for some reason, i thought they'd of gone with Winterstein at centre but Linnett must of been good in pre-season to get first crack in the centres with Tate.
Looking forward to watching the Cowboys this year, got some very good young players in Segeyaro and especially Taumalolo who is a beast, be interesting to see who gets dropped when Tariq Sims comes back which will hopefully be very soon as he was brilliant last year. Hope JT and Bowen are at their best and if so the Cowboys will be in for a good season.
Titans have made some good signings, especially in the forwards but i dont think they'll make the finals again this year.

What a wretched performance from the Cowboys, they were completing at about 40% on 65 minutes and haven't finished a set since either. Titans haven't had much to do to beat them.

Worst....game....ever.

Yep ! I wonder how much the Cowboy players put on for a Titans win.

Neil Henry has gotta be the first coach out the door this year, they get flogged by a poor Titans side and couldn't even hold onto the ball nevermind score a point, so what does he do? He goes and drops Lui and keeps the invisible halfback in Ray Thompson who offers nothing whatsoever to the side, moves the star playmaker Thurston to 6 so he gets less of the ball, what is going on?
Segeyaro has looked a great prospect last year and Payne is way past his best yet Segeyaro didn't get on the bench last week and Payne started. Young Taumalolo was barmstorming in the few games he played last season yet he got dropped at the weekend for players like Hall and Cooper who are just grafters, Cory Paterson cant get a look in either. The best winger they've got is Faifai Loa yet he cant get in the side with Henry picking Ash Graham the knock on machine and Pangai who made his debut last week on the wing but is a centre, this week Graham keeps his place and Winterstein is on the wing. Henry said changes were inevitable after last weeks performance but he's kept most of the side apart from the younger ones, look at Tariq Sims last year when he got a chance, why not give the underperforming experience the boot and give the youngsters a chance in there prefered positions.

I can only speculate that they see Thompson as the future of the club and moved Thurston back to 6 where he started his career. But I did scratch my head at that decision too.
