Defensively the team is cr/@p, worst in the comp at the moment and probably for the rest of the season. Our attack is very good though. If they get there defence right and stop massive scores against them, they will be alright. At the moment I think if they can restrict the opposing team to 24 or less they will win more games then they lose.
As for Parra, Luke Bert played extremely well and so did the rest of the team. Anyhow lets see how the Cowboys do this weekend. another flogging in a row and i think there done up the bum like a chook. |

Murray was their coach when they went to the grand finals. They got runner up, and Murray was assigned as NSW coach. I feel it was that Murray coaching NSW was the reason for NQ's fade out last year. It is a distinct possibility it will again happen this year.
I saw the same thing happen with the Bronco's when Bennet was origin coach. If they pick another club coach as tipped with Belamy or Sheens, it will be interesting to see how the club fares.
The Cowboys need to improve their defence whatever their problems maybe. Another massive loss will start reminding us of the bad old days |

Where's your source of this news? JT has a 5 year contract or something with Cowboys. |

[Tronc and Scott are vastly overrated and p1ss weak]
I don't think anybody overrated Tronc, right? I think you just mentioned this out of the blue, when nobody rated or overrated him in the first place.
Having said that, I saw Tronc playing last night, in the cowboys v storm game. Tronc was bloody powerful actually. I rate him quite highly. |

[I’m not exactly sure where this defensive lapse came from, but my theory is the sooner Murray finishes the abortion of job he started with NSW the better.]
The defensive lapse comes from player signing time. Some players aren't signed up, and some are given the word to leave. And things like that. And new players are coming in to oust the others out of their usual positions. So there's some unhappy, jealous, and unmotivated campers in the team. And the result is what you see.
Murray did a bloody good job with NSW already. Those football commentators are BS artists that NSW were not prepared. Queensland has the better team in the first place.
If Murray was the coach of Queensland, the QLD team would have won just the same.
In game 1, there's nothing that any coach can do about the moron that made a very sloppy play to give Lockyer a free try. And in game 2, there's nothing that any coach can do about the moron that had a grab at Price's leg during the marking. If you have dimwits like that on your team, then you can't expect that much.
But NSW definitely had their chances to win in both game 1 and game 2. And this shows that Murray did a great job in preparing the NSW team. It's not his fault that some players stuffed up.
If Phil Gould is so good, then he should have coached the NSW this year. I seriously doubt that he could have done any better for the NSW team. Murray did what he could for NSW, and NSW weren't far off from winning. So those morons that jump on the bandwagon and point fingers at the coaches....well they can just go to hell.
Team dominance occurs in cycles. In some years, one side may have much better players. In other years, the other side will be like that. It just happens. |

Firstly, these storm trolls were remarkably quiet in 2006 when Cowboys won 40-8 or whatever it was
Pet.er Parr should demand that Murray step aside from the SOO camp for game 3 - series is over, and the club needs all the input possible
Tronc and Scott are vastly overrated and p1ss weak - maybe Cowboys should chase Pet.ero - nearly had his signature before.
The loss of O'Donnell seems to really affect the cowboys - no excuse, but the coaching staff should look at that |

Their problem is a
P! SS POOR DEFENSIVE EFFORT
To say the Cowboys p! ss poor defence in the last 2 weeks has been disheartening would be huge understatement. I’m not exactly sure where this defensive lapse came from, but my theory is the sooner Murray finishes the abortion of job he started with NSW the better.
This will not be a problem as he will be sacked as NSW coach, at series end this year. Even if the Roaches beat the Toads 103 – 4 in game 3 (as if that could happen.) I doubt he will be retained. Well that might give him another go... Actually even that wouldn’t save him.
Murray’s failures at origin seem to be affecting the Cowboys. His failure with the blues seems to be flowing into the Cowboys. The Blues haven’t been @r$e kicked as badly as the Cowboys, but fear not my NSW friends, we still got 1 game left for that possibility.
There is no doubt the Cowboys need something to stiffen their defence. My suggestion would be to extract some DNA from Dallas Johnson, Nathan Hindmarsh or Alan Tongue & inject it into the players. Even some DNA from the under 8 netball team would help them. Give em some enthusiasm at least.
For years it has been Souths copping horrible score lines. This year their defence is better by approx 553.245% and they keep their opponents to a respectable score. This year Newcastle got flogged by a red hot Broncos outfit 71-6. The next week the Knights bounced back to beat the improving roosters team. My point, we are now the defensive joke of the NRL.
Whatever the problem for their current defensive woes maybe, they need to improve and do it in a hurry. At this rate the Cowboys seemed destined for another season fade out for the second consecutive year. |

In tonight's 58-12 game, I'm absolutely certain that there's something fishy going on in the team, like some players are not trying or slacking off because they're not going to be signed next season, or some buddies of the unsigned players are slacking off because their buddies are not being signed up again for next season. Or the new recruit is immediately made to be in the starting line-up, and some of the cowboys are jealous of it, or not happy with it. So they're not putting effort into the game. It was easy to see that tonight, in the first half.
Sure, the Storm are a very strong team. And they're hard to beat. But the 40-4 score at half time wasn't due to anything special from the storm. Some of the cowboys players are not trying. My guess is that it's due to internal problems. |
