That is all in the past now. We have a competitive team now, we are profitable with secure ownership and a large passionate fan base.

Amazing that’s great news.

Not around for long. Break is over in 5 minutes so we shall see how often I can get on here during the Knights beatdown

 

[cowboyman]

I’d bet Opacic will go to centre with O’Neill on the wing.

 

[Billy]

26 degrees and Sunny in Townsville

 

[slotmachine]

I’d bet Opacic will go to centre with O’Neill on the wing.

Can we have hess at centre

 

[Lefty]

I hope the Knights direct plenty of traffic at Marsters today.

 

[Hughburt6]

the hi vis jersey is horrendous

 

[Lefty]

the hi vis jersey is horrendous

I totally agree.

Do you work in a R&T?

 

[Battler]

But, we all know he is going to come back through and read this thread, so we could be "considerate" and leave messages for him to read as he goes through the thread.

This idea could totally backfire if they towel us up!

You, sir, are an ideas man - and I like it.

 

[Battler]

Yea I mean those recent multiple spoons would of been a nice experience to go through

Back to work fella

 

[Lefty]

“Very loose there from Newcastle”, Come on boys!

 

[Hughburt6]

McCullough playing terribly
If Levi did what he did he would be crucified

 

[Lefty]

Woeful play from the Knights.

 

[JOJO82]

How many turnovers do we want to give them...look horrible so far

 

[Kurriboy]

Poor from the Knights.

Shibs has dropped 3 balls already, and nearly 4 with his first touch.

Knights not able to get over the line or secure repeat set.

Looking clunky.

 

[Hughburt6]

2 soft penalties from McCullough in a row

 

[JOJO82]

Thing is cowboys haven't been that good, and it's not like we didn't know they were going to come out all guns blazing.

We just letting them grow in confidence.

I see we thought we’d just turn up and throw the footy around. Better pull our fingers out. Pearce’s short kicking game stinks
