My biggest fear against worsing the cowboys is the heat. Many have notficed that RCG and Paulo played less minutes in the game we lost to them in Darwin. That was not becaue BA was resting them. The heat was just too overwhelming for RCG and Paulo to play their usual minutes. So I am worried how BA will use his bench rotation. I don't believe we can win with 15 men like we pretty much do every week. The heat will be too much. We need to give Carty decent minutes and than remove JA and carry N Brown on the bench since Carty covers the halves. We need to be able to give our big boys a rest.

Townsville heat is not as bad as Darwin and the Darwin game was in the afternoon not in the evening. Also the Darwin Eels team was different: Jake (Super 7 Sub) was 5/8 for the whole game and Brown was in the centres. Opacic, Blake and Sivo didn't play
Better halves and outside backs wont make much difference if we don't win the forward battle.
No mate it was the 7:30pm game in round 8 not the 5:30 one but it's definitely hotter than Townsville at that time....
It's was 6:30pm Darwin time
Yeah evening
We'll be fine
Actually think they are the fittest they beeen for years time willntell
If you listen to yesterday's press conference with Dylan Brown, he mentions that quite a few of the squad were sick for the Darwin game. That would explain limited minutes for the big boys
Different time of year and we see fit. Only way we tire is if we make errors / player goes to the bin. We will be fine. It's all in the head.
Different time of the year, when it is getting warmer. Rather play them mid year in Townsville than now.
