38th min Sezer pass called forward 15m out from the try line. Cowboys get away with a lot just like that.

Great hands from Coker and Cotric. No try unfortunately

So it appears both teams didn't want to score any more points... Everyone better come back after halftime with some superglue on their hands...

Just remember that forward pass call on Sezer as they will get away with way more forward in second half

Happy with our defense but we need to respect the ball a bit more. Giving away too much possession.

What a strange game. With our horrendous ball security we should be leading, but then again the Cows have blown a few tries - interesting! Quitely confident for the match if Stuart doesn't blow it.

Yeah can only see us improving, the penalty count evening. Oddly their attack doesn't seem to be a big threat. I'm liking the look of this one.

56% to the Cowboys so as I'm sure that will "even up" in the next half like they always say that will help?

Penalties 4 - 3, Handling errors 4 - 8....

A very unsure team very short in confidence
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Horrible first half. Dropped balls, stupid penalties, forward passes.. pretty typical really.

That cute girl at the burger place seems to like me.

Who knows what kind of socks she is wearing.

Doubt we win this game.

We are in this, just no drop ball and don't give refs any reason to blow penalties.

Yeah right....

1st half round up

Sias back-to-back drops were huge

Crokers penalties early on hurt

No one backing up when Rapana and BJ are making huuuuuge metres from dummy half.

A couple of suspect calls ( forward pass, and knock on by Blake leading to a drop out opposed to 20 tap )

Overall we are shooting ourselves in the foot a little I think. If we play smart footy we have got them.

Will we do that tho ???

Papa is a lock from now on in !!
