Preview for Saturday evening showdown - will Turbo return?

 

[Mitch]

Cowboys lost two more backline players in Kahu and Mosby over the weekend. There is some talk that they could pick up Scott Drinkwater though who could play as early as this week, given that they really don’t have too many other fullback options unless they play Morgan there.

 

[Sue]

We get flogged if Tom doesn’t play. Waddell gone now too. Bench , which is our real weakness, will be very ordinary.The boys have performed admirably but they are out of petrol now with this hard slog and injuries all over the park.Away against a team on a three game winning run will be too hard.They need Toms spark for their confidence as Mitch says.

I doubt he’ll be playing this week but boy do we need him badly. 6 and 6 is a fantastic result given our issues and now it’s time for the stars, the Turbots, DCE and Walker to keep us in the hunt.

Just saw Kahu may be out. That’s huge for us. He’s a good player and leaves them vulnerable at the back.

Going to have to rush up on Taumololo not sit back and let him wind up. Guy is half the Cowboys running metres week in week out

Their backline is just as if not more depleted than ours, so if we get Turbo back and Jake and DCE back up I do think we can get them - there attack isn’t hugely potent, obviously Taumalolo is in some red hot form, but I believe Matt Scott will likely still be it with a shoulder injury as well.

Sironen seemed pretty positive about Turbo playing when he faced the media saying he just needs to get through training this week.

Siro has been very aggressive in everything he does this year. He’s gone into beast mode.

Nice and warm up there at least. 🙂

Manly had better start winning

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Cows have a short turnaround so that is one advantage for us. If we get Turbo and DCE back that will be a huge psychological boost as well.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Correction, Turbo x 2 and DCE.

Be surprised if Turbo plays.

And depends on how our Origin players pull up as to if they play.

Cowboys in a close one for me.

And yes I’ve picked them in the Footy Tipping as well AND you know what that means!!

You might need to stop telling us how you've tipped Mark. One heart attack a week is plenty!

 

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

After a gazillion weeks out (seems like), can't imagine DCE will play two in four days. Fingers crossed.

 

[bob dylan]

Terry Randall would of sorted Taumololo out.

I have never seen any as soft as this bloke dominate games. Because of the modern day rules he continues to destroy teams ever week.

I say we play with 16 and someone just whacks him.

 

[brad]

We'll win this.

 

[Mitch]

Turbo and Suli are back!

DCE and Jake on the extended bench.

Elgey and Jetski to drop off and it's suddenly one hell of a side .

 

[Mitch]

It’s not often that it happens but we actually have a stronger backline on paper than the Cows. Their forwards are strong though - we need Jake backing up.
