cowboys V Melbourne

[Michael :P]

If we get up this weekend it will go down as one of our greatest wins. I'd be tempted to have GI at 5/8 for a large portion of the game. Just something different to throw the Cowboys off. Ingliss brilliance is what can get us over the line in this game.

Btw incredibly Greg is only 5 points behind Thurston in the Dally-M award. At the start of the year I would have rated GI just below Sonny-Bill in terms of ability, now though I think their equal. Greg play's the game like a 10 year veteran.

Amazing.


Edited to add that Cam Smith is joint leader of the Daly-M, keep it up Cam. I think he might win it this year.

Melbourne I still want that revenge.  At least the ref won't be Smith.http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,86 ... 10,00.html

I like our chances to be honest, I think we are a good chance.

Webster had a neck scan yesterday and the results were encouraging.

"It showed some minor swelling around the disc but no structural damage, so we are hopeful by the end of the week we should have that under control," Storm physiotherapist Mary Toomey said.

This is abit worrying, thats what ended Scotts career,
hopefully he can manage it ok.

[Super Cronk]

clark is the ref .... things keep getting worse for us this week.

[lotti]

oh no not Clarke, eh he owes me a couple of games.

[Surandy]

clark is the ref .... things keep getting worse for us this week.

I think Clark hasn't been as bad this year. He's been more competent than Smith.

[lotti]

After his last first grade game, Smith has been demoted to a lower grade but Clarke is almost as bad.  Smith was the ref for our last game against the Cheatboys yeah I know I'm back to calling them that again.

apprently cronk has some injuries too. he has copped some head knocks lately but should be good for this weekend.

Well, if Cronk dont play, our half back options arent to good cause Marc Brentall is out for the season after injuring his knee and James Aubussonn is also out for a couple of weeks. Maybe Mr Reliable Geyer moves to half-back

WOOHOO!

WE HAVE CLARKY!

I've a good feeling about this game.

Bring it on Cowboys, you're goin' down this weekend.

I think you'd be one of the few LR .... I'm not feeling very confident about this game.  Thank God it's at home - hopefully that will get us over the line!

Having said that, if some or all of the guys with injury concerns don't play and we still win, we will have the other teams running scared I reckon!

[lotti]

nothing like OP, except for this year we seem to win where-ever we play except for Townsville and the other place.

[Michael :P]

Have to say I'm suprised that Cross hasn't been included. He'll be the man to keep the fire in our team while Crockers out.

Now's the time too for Ryan Hoffman to step-up and become the 2nd rower many peolpe think he should be.

[Earl]

Last year in Round 4 (against Bribane) people were talking him up as an origin possibility.

He seriously needs to reproduce that form.

[mystormboys]

Im pretty sure the boys will be fired up - heres hoping the supporters are as well
