only hopping it is the seasonray:

Not sure but Fox had this,

Tigers win, JT gone for season

North Queensland Cowboys halfback Johnathan Thurston suffered a season-ending shoulder injury as his side succumbed to a 23-16 defeat against Wests Tigers.

The Queensland and Australian star suffered a subluxed left shoulder during the first half of the NRL clash at Dairy Farmers Stadium, one of several injuries in a brutal game.

good luck getting $700,000/year now.

Just watched the Press Conference.

Really depends how Dureau pulls up for next week, Rogers could play but needs to be assessed.

Stone did mention they need Gidley's direction from the 'back' so I'd assume hes gonna play the FB role?

 

[MBQLD]

Not sure, not watching it, only have the stats going, and he hasnt dont anything since about the 20th minute. Had a look around, copped a knee to the testicals then done something to his shoulder, maybe a couple of weeks, but i suppose thats all we need.

Maybe he knocked his nads into his shoulder?

If we don't win this we deserve the spoon.

Good side but swap Vuna and McDonnell. I read somewhere on here, i think it was AK who said it. McDonnell cannot pass to his outside man. We don't need our most inform player Uate getting poor ball, do we!

I am also confident for this game No Thurston, Gidleys back, team SHOULD fire up!

[jamesgould]

ben rodgers is back this week told a few of us boys down at balance yesterday arvo he said he is deffently back so u could probs chuck him in five eight and mullo half

Well thank god for that.

Stone did mention they need Gidley's direction from the 'back' so I'd assume hes gonna play the FB role?

Stone said ages ago that Gidley would come straight back to fullback and that the 5/8 thing was only a possibility of happening later in the year for one or two games.

Not sure whay everyone keeps bringing it up as a chance of happening.

Besides, nobody in their right mind would keep McDonnell in there if they didn't have to.

Coach: Rip Taylor

Gidley to fullback because I'm not sure i can handle another week of McDonnell's drop balls and slipping over, we've also been missing his kick returns which really get us on the front foot in attack as well as how he directs the defence from the back which McDonnell is too timid to do in my eyes.

Uate is our best player atm.

Sau is on notice to start performing.

Williams to make his debut because of all the centres we have in the lower grades he is easily the form one, for those who haven't seen him play he is Junior Sau with Matt Gidley's hands.

Vuna is on notice as well.

Rogers in because we have no other options, Ndaira in if Rogers is out.

Mullen is ****ing lucky Dureau is injured or else I'd drop him.

Cross our form forward.

De Gois, enough said.

Tolar starting because we need Tui to come on when Cross comes off as our intensity drops an alarming amount when both of those players go off.

Ciraldo starting as he has been better than Simpson and Paterson

Taia starting because we need some spark in the team.

Taufua is our best wrestler in the team, always wins the ruck and I feel that's why we drop when he goes off as well because it allows them to get quick play the balls and dominate us.

Hilder to come on and replace Taufua in defence.

Simpson on the bench because he really hasn't performed recently and Gidley is back now so he's not the captain anymore.

Tui coming off the bench for reasons stated earlier.

Fa'aosos, if he doesn't perform this game drop him for Tovo or Edwards.

Rip Taylor can get a team playing with passion, pride and for each other.

Out:
Naiqama: lol
Paterson: Needs a couple of games for the Centurions to get his confidence back.
Rick Stone: GTF away from my team, has obviously tried to make all our forwards playmakers with alarming results such as none of them running it straight to the line anymore and usually ending up with one of them getting smashed due to a ****ty pass close to the line.

 

[Ms.Nobody]

I'd like to see more wins in reserve grade from Rip first.

 

[BlueIce]

Just watched the Sunday Footy Show. Our next four games are Cowboys, Cronulla, Brisbane and Gold Coast (H). I don't think we'll ever get an easier 4 weeks than this (ie. games will get harder). If we don't win 3 or 4 games ray:, I'm going to be very worried
