It's tough because cowboys have to make changes, but don't really have many options.

Green isn't known for making unforced changes either

@Storm! Fuck you doing with Matterson, was expecting him to be in 30/40s! 50 fucking 3! Hard to please

Yeah I was confused what the fuck he was complaining about.

250/4 no complaints so far!

Benched Lucy for Hudson Young. Feel like that one is gonna bite me in the ass.

hard to be dissapointed in a 3/182 start, but watching my rank plummet and being a part of the 'fuck Teddy and McInnes' club has me in a salty mood.

Nice! Happy with that after slow start.

Funny how much better that looks than 39. Could edge closer to a 50 point scores if he actually had the ball for some runs.

Was complaining when he was on about 30 with 30 minutes left. Came home strong.

Young my lowest scorer until Hess.

6/345
Will take that start since I’ve played 4/5 of my back 5

He becomes Crichton for me next week

395/7. Solid enough start but a few shittos to come.

Yeah, if Lucy goes 45+ I'll upgrade Hess I think.

Should've ended up on 45 with 2 tackle busts but oh well at least one got credited.

I agree he's awful now, but the spine are headless chickens. On the original point, a hooker getting 80 minutes in a 40-point dribbling (EDIT drubbing not dribbling) very much does not mean that he's more likely to have the same role next week.

True but having a second hooker (Ie Granville) on the bench when the team lacked punch from the big men isn't going to help
Not one ran over 100m, though the middle and ruck defence was fine just lacking line speed from the tired cowboys forwards.
All the tries were scored on the edges end of the day

Taumalolo looked tired and disinterested so no real chance for Robson to have more darts of his quick ball
On Robson I thought he was solid, passes were accurate,made his tackles and was one of the best out there for the cowboys (Though not a high benchmark)

Hampton is the utility on the bench and is capable of filling in at hooker at a pinch, with Mclean back it gives them another big man and wouldn't be surprised to see Cooper replaced for a prop (Or back on an edge for Wright who missed 7 tackles) as Cooper isn't an impact player.
Problem with 2 hookers these days is you still need someone to cover the backs and then you only have 2 spots for props
Sharks tried that and now back to 4 big men, it can work if you have them fresh and rotating

The problem is I don't who else they have on their roster, Jensen? Hola?

Fui been good the past 2 games, the first 2 were not fun. Those updates are spot on too, can't believe they missed two obvious TBs and an offload.

5/260 here,went with Captain Cook this week. Gotta find a way to get Guth in I think,fuck Papy

I think because he was 40ish with 10 to go.

Still, and I say this every feckin week, players do not score their exact average every single week

Ideal bench makeup is probably a back row who can play centre, a hooker who can play half, and two middles. If you have an 80-minute hooker you can have a third big man, but even that can cause a problem if 6/7/9 go down during the game.
