We’re all nursing a little winners hangover
Can we keep it up against the Storm
And we’ve made it to 50 episodes!

All Just Numbers
We’re shark meat
Our fireproof suits are almost ready to fight some dragons
And one piece of our coaching puzzle might just be solved.

Fight Night
The try scoring streak ends as the knight cut us down
The sharks are circling
And it’s fight night

So close yet so far
The boys trek south to catch up with some mates
And we’re back to our regular logo

Kebab In A Can
The don, did us
We've donned a different logo
And it's duck season, wabbit season, duck season wabbit season...

What round is it?
It’s a repeating tale of woe for the pride of the North but all signs point to improvement as we head to CBus Super Stadium for our mini-derby clash with the Titans.

Passion
The Seagulls stole all our hot chips
We’re sounding our own war horns in prep for the Raiders
And we're starting our own judiciary

Torn
It’s a rough old time as the Chocolate Soldiers take home the...er chocolates.
We pray that the sacked coach curse carries us over the Sea Eagles.
And we jump head first onto the coaching merry go round.

I Am Chris Walker
We caught salmonella from undercooked chicken
The trek south to face the Panthers is looking riskier every day
We’re getting our rooms ready to billet 13 extra southern teams all over QLD
And QLD legend Chris Walker joins us.

The eels were a little too slippery to be wrangled
We preheat the oven to 180 degrees for some roast chook
And we’ve subbed pistol out, for a machine

The Gatis Effect
It’s NRL round 8 and we take some confidence from the gritty win against the Knights
Prep begins for the clash with the ladder leading Eels
And our good friend Mr George Gatis is here!

We’ve retreated to lick our tiger inflicted wounds
We’re sharpening our spears to keep the knights at bay
And we check who’s got a target on their back at CowboysHQ.

God Damn Carole Baskin
We’ve succumbed to the Tamworth Warriors
We got our cages ready for the tigers
And there’s a bit of give and take on the injury front

The I Isn't Dotted
We’ve sprayed our hands with that sticky stuff
59-nil is our new favourite number
And there’s word we might have a crowd at QCB
We review Cowboys v Sharks
We Preview Warriors v Cowboys

Cold. Hard. Cash.
We drag ourselves off the couch after what felt like the best weekend of footy ever
We’re outsourcing our own virtual crowd
And Pistol finally nailed a Multi

Round 3 In May
It’s a little bit of Deva Vu as the season restarts
We’re reserving some seats outside the stadium to listen in
We’re sweating on which ref Cam Smith is replacing
And the tipping comp restarts
