It's 31 degrees in Townsville so they will have drinks at the 20-minute mark of each half.

4min: Cows try?  Did Sharks ground it first? ...... Point is moot since McGuire was offside and within 2m of the ball putting pressure on defender.

[Farmduck]

6min: another "try" to Cows but bunkering ...... no, Kahu knocked it on in the aerial contest.

[Farmduck]

16min: Chad Townsend scores next to the post.  SJ converts. Sharks 6-0

[Farmduck]

30min: Jordan Maclean try, Kahu goal. Cows 6-6

[Farmduck]

I thought they were going to call him Kahukuranui this year.

Scrum clock buzzer goes off again and the refs ignore it again???

[Farmduck]

37min: Te Maire Martin try after Feki fumbles a grubber in goal.  Kahukuranui goal kick ........  misses

 

Cows 10 - 6

Morning/Evening all. Clocks go forward an hour here tonight so that's a good thing as regards timing of kick offs of NRL games for us.

[Graham]

HALF TIME:
Cowboys 10 - 6 Sharks

[Farmduck]

Afternoon. Cold and windy here. Next game in Bathurst. The 50km/hr wind gusts could be interesting

42in: Nikora try for Sharks after Martin waited too long for kick to go dead.  10 - 10 ktc

According to female panellist it feels much colder than 9* in Bathhurst - windchill factor being blamed.

Well when the wind is blowing 40kph from the south-west - or Antarctica, as we call it - I'm not surprised.

THis young man Bailey is having a great start to the season.

A few of us SCoachers will be glad we brought him into our squads this week.

But now they have a spare 9 on the bench so he may not get enough minutes to be a high point scorer

Now J-Moz try? ..........
