Looks good on paper. But I would have said that last week too...

Season and reputation on the line in this one. A loss and it's a 7th or 8th finish and booted straight out

The sharks just beat Parramatta, so there goes top 4. Don't deserve it after tigers and knights losses anyway. Hopefully cronk turns up tonight. Last week he was ordinary.

He was definitely there last week and trying hard, just everything he touched turned to sh*t. Worst game from him in a long time.

He's had a few "worst games for him in a long time" this season.

Green has been so ordinary the last half of season. Was a fan. Not anymore. Is Nona any good? And right on cue an awful missed tackle.

Yes. Nona is good. Well and truly deserved a chance in the second half of the season when Green started to slip.

How about that pushed pass to Tohu with absolutely nothing on? He has been ordinary.

We are doing better than we probably deserve. Some really hard work being put in and then some silly errors.

The 8 point lead in the wet weather hopefully gets us over the line at full time.

Cowboys got the first three penalties and then we got seven straight. I worry that when the Cows get a bunch in the second half if we can hold them out...

So far so...not too bad.

First 5 minutes the refs stamped their authority and said, "this game will be played in the Cowboys style, not yours", but the boys have adjusted well.
Not a fan of Chambers, never have been, and he's not making me feel the love tonight.

Munster has been a star. Even before the couple of breaks, he has been so brave under the high ball. Body on the line wins games!

Koro also some big efforts getting us onto the front foot.

Who's that bloke in the crowd that just yells at the top of his voice every five minutes or so?
