Game Day: Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

[ALinda]

He's never been Mr Popular Knockabout Bloke but he's always been Mr Professional, so I still wonder whether his form has been affected by the back spasms he had early in the year.

Having had back issues myself (hopefully all in the past) it can take a mental toll. Pretty sure in the games after it happened I noticed Brooks doing far more of the kicking, plus DCE's usually reliable defence wasn't on view, last week at least.

Staying or going, while he's here I want him fit and ripping in. Today's a good day for it.

I pretty much said this in another post a few weeks ago after Brooks had been doing much of the kicking. Speaking from experience, having back spasms are not something you get over in a hurry.

As much as I'm utterly disgusted with DCE (and will never forgive him), I do wonder if his back spasms have contributed to his form slump.

Good chance we see the old Turbo tonight. After Lomax and Kiraz’s showings last night he will need to have one of the games of his life tonight to be picked for his precious Origin

I don’t see it though , he’s just holding in there.Love to be proven wrong though!!

 

[robbiea]

Is Joey Walsh making his debut tonight ??

 

[Budgie]

Geez, the halfback looks a disinterested misery in the dressing room. Not looking good.

 

[Jethro]

Oh great, a Voss & Roach commentary team

 

[The Royal Soup]

Good evening all!!!

What will the greedy grub dish up this week….

 

[The Royal Soup]

hahha how to blow a try 101

pathetic

 

[The Royal Soup]

DCE just let 2 players run around him

 

[Hertera]

this could be 60 all at fulltime the way it has started neither team wants to tackle.

 

[The Royal Soup]

forwards dominated already and going no where

 

[The Royal Soup]

zero go forward, no speed in our ruck at all

 

[The Royal Soup]

dce not making any effort to make tackles

backing away and running around in circles

 

[XV-1]

forwards dominated already and going no where

The Cowboys are coming up quick in defense and belting our players.
Our defense is just standing at the 10m line and getting rolled!!

Get Jazz off!!. He is not a hooker!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Did the ref just give the Cows a 4 tackle set??

Even I could have sworn that was only the 4th tackle.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Comedy hour

 

[The Royal Soup]

hahahahah wow we are sooooo bad

 

[HoldenV8]

Bye bye Jazz.....we lose his potential to play lock later on, but at least get a proper dummy half out there.

 

[bob dylan]

Maybe now we will get a decent dummy half on the field.

 

[Saabnaldo]

Sack Seibold
