    The NQ Cowboys should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they have. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if they upset Parramatta this week.

                  All Queensland this week in the playoffs.

                  Cowboys continue their run, eliminating the Parramatta Eels tonight 24-14. This is a team that should have missed the playoffs with the amount of injuries they've had, including Thurston and Scott.

                  Broncos dispatched of the Penrith Panthers last night 13-6. Scary moment for Broncos wing Corey Oates. He was knocked out by his own teammate following a tackle by Nathan Cleary.

                        @canefan Foran? Yeah, he was. Be interesting to see what happens there (Foran is staying in Sydney but if Hasler was to link up with another Sydney club...)

                          Wondered if Foran had a clause to exit if Des was no longer coach? I guess that'll come out pretty soon - maybe he's waiting to see who is appointed?

                            So the new gameplan is to forget about tackling or doing the hard stuff?
                            Mannering should be the first player picked in my opinion.

                              @sammyc WTF - I was never a huge fan of Mannering but he's been class in his later career as an absolute workhorse. If he was Aussie he'd be lauded as the best buy ever for the Warriors.

                              I'm ultra worried about things now after reading that article! What 'brand' of football are the Kiwis going to be playing?

                              On a side note, I'm playing league live 4 on the PS4 in career mode as the Warriors and I reckon Luke is on track to be the Dally M winner. πŸ™‚ Mannering never makes a Kiwis side (for some reason you can't pick a Kiwi squad you just get random players) but is always close to the top of tacklers. Review of game: Not as good as the previous version, but playable once you figure out that scooting from dummy half is the best way to make ground and then score in close.

                                Yeah I see the coaching staff/ selectors are Kidwell/ Nikau/ Iro and McGahan. Call me cynical but I don't see those guys coming up with a perfect new gameplan to fool the Aussies.

                                  They'll probably come up with one to fool their own players though.

                                  Mannering is the ideal guy considering we're losing a huge amount of leadership by ruling out Bromwich.

                                      Are these fluffy bunnies serious?

                                      Can just imagine the selection meeting...

                                      'Mannering, na he's bad for team morale. He makes too many tackles, too organised on defence and waaay too much ticker. All that does is make the rest of the playing group look bad. I don't think we can risk taking him'

                                        They must be studying the Patrick Ewing theory....remove your best player to make the team better.

                                        Dumb, dumb, dumb move if they are even considering it.

                                        I've been suggesting the Warriors, the actual Warriors, follow this gameplan for years....
