Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

[Dan]

Exactly , Simpkins did so many tough , off the ball things

He was in every little thing he could be, he made every 50/50 thing ours.

Hopefully gets a dally m for that effort

When he trapped the ball with his leg and fell on it. We didn't need the Cows getting a quick score and DCE doing that but the brakes on it.

Oh yeah, he played for that and it came off

 

[Buddy Love]

My favourite moment

NICE tough win great defense tonight. Should have a full team next week nobody anywhere near SOO level

 

[bob dylan]

I thought Taukeiaho was amongst our best.

He has been a real find.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

That’s going to be another game off for Jake ( grade 1 concussion )

He has been great for us. That late foot work and spin with the offload. We actually made a good purchase lol

Really enjoyable game after last week. Started out with the cows really winning the yardage game, but Manly dug deep. Good win!

$CE: I’m really proud of the boys

[Seibs rubbing off on $CE]

Why is fox interviewing $CE?

We won.
You're not proud?
What do you think, they were a disgrace to the jersey?

 

[Dingo]

Massive win for our season. MASSIVE. Still not impressed with some of our top guys, not confident we’ve drastically improved yet. Burbo had his best game maybe ever, hope we get more of that. Saab got himself really involved which was nice to see, he can kill it when he’s on. Brooks was better too.

Happiest with keeping them to 6 though, some of our efforts in defence have been super poor since the DCE announcement, so 6 is an awesome effort.

The Cowboys were not good though, at all. We play a better side and I still don’t think we win, plenty to improve on but boy did we need that.

Parra next week with an origin side, really excited to see how our side looks and how that one goes. Perhaps Joey Walsh may start? Played Oz Tag in his team and went to school with him when I was about 8 years old, weird to see someone you know in this position.

Anyway, we’re 5-5 just like last year, let’s get some big wins throughout the Origin period while we can and get ourselves sorted in the run to finals 🦅🦅🦅

 

[Oligarch]

Agree with others, Jazz needs to be in starting team as 13, Simpkin needs to start, would like to see more of Navale. But great effort, not pretty, but pretty effective. And go Saab!

 

[TJ55]

Take the 2 points and enjoy
Thats what matters at the end of the day winning
I was confident they would turn it around momentum is everything

Walsh was number 21 so I think you're onto something

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

That’s another point lost in the tipping, picked the Cows at home.

Ended up watching the game , I’m in the wine region ( Barossa ) in SA , and it’s bloody freezing so inside the caravan with the heater going and nothing better to do.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Sadly, it took another concussion to Jake to prove it, but we are a much better side with Jazz at lock and Simpkin at hooker. In fact, even forgetting about Simpkin at hooker, Jazz should be our starting lock.

Along with those two, big shout-outs to TKO, who has been our best prop all year, Burbo (second week in a row he's been not just the best Trbojevic on the field, but close to our best player), and Lehi, who gets through a mountain of work and is now an indispensable member of the team.

 

[Hertera]

Very proud just love to gear from someone we never hear from. Maybe Simpkin, Jazz or Ben T

 

[Dingo]

Yep the fact we brought him to Townsville with the top side while Arthur and Wakeham played cup in the halves at Brookie today says a lot. Especially when Walsh was in the halves for cup last week and I honestly didn’t mind what I saw from him in the highlights at least in attack

 

[davohan123]

The real question is where was this last week we play like tonight last week we don't get smashed.

Turbo clearly needs a spell but gritty performance from us.

Saab best game in a long while.

Good onya Mark, and Mrs Mark.

Well I go away they usually start winning , but took a while this time
