IN SAYING nothing, Michael Maguire said it all. The Rabbitohs just needed to win. Didn’t matter how. And in one of those dollars-too-hard-to-turn-down scenarios, it so happened to turn out they were playing a home game against the Cowboys in far north Queensland.
Full of praise for Cairns and the community, Maguire was asked would he come back again to play against the Cowboys?
“No comment,” he fired back.
Which just about summed up his mood after the South Sydney’s season officially tipped over the edge, wilting 23-10 against a Johnathan Thurston-less Cowboys at Barlow Park on Sunday.
So scratch the Rabbitohs from the murky finals picture.
But the Cowboys? They couldn’t, could they? Not without Thurston. Throw in Matt Scott. And seemingly without any hope.
But just maybe this is the year they prove they’re far more than a one-man team. One capable of going deep into the finals, maybe even to the first Sunday in October.
