Yet where did they finish this year with all those stars
Sorry CBM had to rub salt in

The cowboys stuffed up mate you can't deny it (or you'll try but no one will buy it) Ponga was a sure thing 'can't miss' type of player there's no way in hell they should have let him go.How can you expect the Cowboys to match 600-700k for a 2 game rookie at the time when you have JT, Morgan, Taumalolo, Scott and several other rep standard players already on the books that had already proven themselves with finals and a grand final win?
Cowboys knew exactly what they had the moment they poached him from the Broncos at 16. In that contract he was guaranteed a position in the top 25 man squad for his final year.
Green also debuted him in a derby finals game to try and entice him to stay.
To say we didn’t try and keep him is laughable. It’s the exact same scenario that we had 14 years ago when we got Thurston from the Dogs. Both sides at the time Cowboys pre 2004 and Knights 2015-17 being absolute plodders and able to take a risk with a massive contract for a young prodigy.

Facts are they re-signed Coote when they should have said goodbye to him gave Ponga the money they were going to give Coote and promised him the No.1 jersey.
I firmly believe if they had given him Coote's money and the No.1 he would have stayed.
Morgan played really well this year huh
Hess killed it to, still can't believe they didn't make the gf tbh
It Taumalolo gets a long term injury the cows are stuffed IMO.
We had our worst year since 2010 and still only finished 2 wins behind your guys best year since 2013 or 2014. Awfully cocky this offseason
Yeah but we aren't stacked with superstars.
But where getting there.
Pearce is a bigger loss than Ponga.
Just like JT will be for your lot.
If Billy talked like that about any Knights junior you would be all over him
We have our new young half off the conveyor belt coming through. One, J Clifford. Just so happens that he won NYC player of the year for the whole comp while Ponga was his teammate. Would of won Q-Cup player of the year had he not got called up to FG this year in what was his first full season playing against men. Also led QLD to their first ever win in the U20’s origin with MotM performance. Walker brothers say he is the biggest threat of any player in the Q-Cup and that they always focused on shutting him down more then anyone.
Need I go on? Don’t you worry about the Cowboys next year
Yeah because NYC form always translates. Beau Henry anyone.
Hopefully you don’t let Clifford leave so you can keep Hampton.
