Think the only shame in resting Munster this week is he probably played his best game in months against Newcastle.

Great to have Paps back. Hopefully he can get through the week and play some meaningful minutes on Friday night.

So via player media in recent days, we are based at Noosa for the foreseeable future.

45 minute drive to Sunshine Coast Stadium, so I imagine we will still play out of there for home games, which is great for us.

The Hammer is out after having emergency surgery Otto remove his appendix. Will be out for 6 weeks. Such a shame, I was looking forward to seeing him play against us. Especially after his Origin debut.

Cowboys are really up against it this week. I hope we don’t get complacent because of that.

Interested to see Booth drop out. Could this possibly mean that there will be a time when Cheese goes off for a rest, Nico goes to 9 and Papi goes to 1?

Yes, I think so.

The NRL released updated venues for the next two rounds.

Both our "home" game against the Panthers, and our away game against Manly, will be played at Suncorp.

Not a good start. Our defence has been trash.

That was a gross half of footy from us. Gross.

Well, it was an exciting first half totally ruined by the officials. This obstruction play, now the bunker has evened it up are they just let us get back to normal?
Geez, totally annoyed.

Our errors have been frustrating, but it has been good defensive pressure from the Cows causing it. Our usual slick backline plays have been clunky tonight. So many times over the touch line for no great reason.

Not our best game. Cowboys have played well. We have made a number of line breaks or poked head through line but haven'ttaken full advantageof it.

Lucky wasn't penalty try against Foxx.

The two tries disallowed for obstruction (one for Cowboys and one for Storm) were horrible.

When Olam made break in middle of half, had a brain fade to tackle Feldt. Think Foxx probably gets to the ball anyway.

How long was Hess held for before he put the ball down?
