Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
Very good forward pack and plenty of depth. If Barba fires they will push for top 4.
Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
Scrape into the 8 despite having a top 4 squad. I don't think it's a very harmonious squad.

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
Agreed. Injuries permitting they could push for a title. Barba can win games by himself and one of their biggest issues has been a fullback that just stinks.Green eyed Mick wrote: ↑December 27, 2018, 7:33 pm Very good forward pack and plenty of depth. If Barba fires they will push for top 4.

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
Yes it is isn’t it. Personally I would go Clifford over Martin and would also be very tempted to start Baptiste. Granville’s strength is his running game which is suited to the later stages of the half.zim wrote:That's a strong side.

I doubt the Cowboys would release either but if we aren’t getting Edwards I would take either Martin or Clifford.zim wrote:I'd be starting Clifford too.

Of the 2 there's no way they'd release Clifford. Martin I could see them moving on as soon as it suits them.

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
Seems easier for clubs to sack players during pre season rather than between June 30 and Finals

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
In Townsville you're not regarded as a local until you've had an 'incident at the Casino'. Benny just wanted to fit in.
Oh well. It's off to the Sharks for him then.

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
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.

Re: North Queensland Cowboys 2019
**** him. I hope his partner and children are ok and get the support to leave this ****, once and for all. Should be sacked, deregistered and never to play the game again. Then the police and courts can deal with him.LP Raider wrote:In jail, you **** need help also if that's you narrative.dubby wrote: ↑February 1, 2019, 8:03 pm This guy needs help

Seriously how dumb! You are in the casino with witnesses and cameras everywhere, casino is also a sponsor of the club you play for. Greenberg has already spoken and warned all the captains
And you still do it? AND expect to get away with it?
