Ok cowboys time to retire Thurston. Clearly he is past his best and the combo of him and Morgan ain’t working. The team last year got to the grand final so change back to that side (without the trade offs of course) because what your doing now ain’t working

No you won’t Barry. With your blue and white Bulldogs blinkers on, you have no hope on understanding the bigger picture

No Barry you won’t be Big J’ing as you said as yet again you miss the big picture. I support teams based on their history of the club, underdog status and their location not whom plays for them I’m not a player follower. Again you have your blue and white bulldog blinkers on as you are going to follow the other teams due to the former bulldogs players not the clubs. Again you miss the big picture. Nice try though

Makes little difference they Roosters have the trophy in their cabinet the Warriors don’t
Can anyone stop the Warriors?
Don’t understand the motivation behind this. He is either batshit crazy or a genius. I think he is batshit crazy. Why do this? Surely he made enough money from the Mayweather fight to never fight again. But this bloke is definitely a chump not a champ. Never defended any title he won and ran off to do a ten round dance with an old Floyd for one hundred million and now this. Just lock him up. The ufc has found there mike Tyson. When is GSP coming back? he is the best the ufc has to offer right now
Is Conor McGregor worth the UFC's time anymore?
The problem is that the Commonwealth games are and will always be the minor league of world sports, USA, China and Russia aren’t in so there is most of the decent competition gone. Plus this countries dwindling interest in being apart of the Commonwealth does not help. If Turnbull has his way we would become a Republic tomorrow. But the biggest factor is as stated in the article is that the athletes aren’t as good as they were use to be. The Campbell or should I say choker sisters are the perfect example. In Beijing we did well but in London we were embarrassed out of the olympics as the athletes we too busy on Facebook with their stupid Shelfies instead of focusing on the task at hand. Rio was even worse with poor medal hall in decades. In short no one wants to watch a second tier team lose . It’s like watching the Central Queensland Capras play in the Instrust Super Cup no one cares
The Common-what Games?
I don’t think so, not with the crap that he has pulled. White has had enough of his crap and told him to pull his head in or bugger off
UFC officially strips McGregor of title
Um Wally Lewis got sin binned years ago and not was such a reaction. Oh hang on didn’t they throw beer cans when Lewis got binned??? Smith needed to be reminded that not even he is above the game.
Where were you when Cameron Smith was sin binned?
How good is it, that a Rocky boy Mark Knowles is the flag bearer!!! Awesome that yet another Rocky great sporting legend gets this honour. Can’t wait to see the replay

Making molan host was a bad idea from the start, she knows nothing about the game and while a competent presenter she is not right for the job. Plus now is she pregnant and not even going to see the season out, why did they put her in the job in the first place??? The footy show will die this year, unfortunately
Will the NRL Footy Show get the boot?
So how many ppv it that now that have to be changed at the last minute??? I count three. This is getting out of hand. Oh well just another poster to collect
The fight that wasn't meant to be has been called off again
Great ?? article read mate, I enjoyed the read. I agree with all your suggestions but the real thing is that Australia ?? has crossed a line that has should’ve never been crossed and cricket Australia ?? is atleast twelve months from recovery
How’s this for forward thinking on ball tampering?
The fight would generate more money in the uk could sellout Wembley again with 90000 plus. Usa stadiums would be hard press to find 60000 plus to rock up to a fight there. Msg and T-Mobile only hold 20000 so it might better for the fight to be I the uk. Or better yet bring it here at the mcg and get 100000 plus

Hi David, happy Easter ?, these three are only victims of their own stupidity and only have themselves to blame. Warner went to the media yesterday again crying like a child, which looked totally pathetic. When is Australia going to get over this. The Warriors are up 4-0! In the Nrl, now there is great sporting article
Smith, Warner and Bancroft are victims of a gutless ICC
I don’t think ? that Smith’s punishment was too harsh, they need to send a strong message that premeditated cheating and then lying about it will not be tolerated. It’s funny one minute Smith is being called the next Bradman, now he is just the next Hansie Cronje
Why Smith’s ban was too harsh
Hi Mary, as always great article. I think that Peter Sterling on the Sunday Footy show yesterday along with your article sums up what has happened to the Cowboys, perfectly. Due to the World Cup commitments of many or in fact all of the star players of the Cowboys, the Cowboys players are wore out. JT 13, Morgan, and others are struggling to get through the matches, I feel that same is happening at the Storm. They virtually had zero time to have some R&R before the pre season and played the tribute match in Feburary, which at this stage is looking as their game of the year. Thurston is out on his feet with his aging and broken body starting to get the best of him (trust me I know what that’s like I just had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle myself back in December). Thurston needs to retire TODAY!!! not at the end of the year as the Cowboys have more then proven that they can win without him, hence last year’s finals performance.
Saturday’s game was not a poor performance by the Cowboys, it was a tried performance by a team that has had no time to recovery form the 2017 season and World Cup. Hence why the Dragons are doing so well, how many World cup players to they have in their side? 3 maybe? How many stars returning from injury? None I think. Hence why teams like the Dragons, Tigers, and Warriors are doing so well (maybe the warriors finally decided to pull their finger out as NZ WC campaign was a disaster). Even at Thurston’s 300 against the Sharks, he looked tried at wore out five minutes into the game. He cant take the hits like he used to plus his fitness is way down, so needs to go give away now as thing are not going to improve.
IMHO its simple for the Cowboys, they are buggered !!!
Are the Cowboys cooked?
