Key result is we stopped them from getting 50. That's the big takeaway. Reynolds was rusty today, next week he'll go down to Brisbane against Queensland's 2nd best team and show them he is an origin player.
Thing people forget about sam burgess was that he was wildly inconsistent between 2010-2013. Even in 2014 he had a pretty shit first 3rd of the year, then had a decent middle third of the year, then had a great final third and final series. He only had about 10 weeks of great consistent football, no where near guys like james graham and matt scott who are consistently great for seasons, not games but actually seasons, in a row. The biggest downside to burgess is that you have the twins as well

Eels have been the only team to dominate the Cowboys this year
No team has ever won a premiership after conceding 50 points. Avoiding that must be the key goal for the next 7 minutes.
Well said and totally agree. People expecting the back half of 2014 every week are ludicrous. Very good player but expectations on him were unrealistic. Shedding 3 internationals and 2 origin players to get him was ridiculous.
I bet you have Parramatta Eels bedsheets.
Got Eels pillow cases as well they on my bed now
No team has ever won the comp after losing their first 3 games. Oh wait... the Cows broke that duck last year.

Cowboys were just ruthless. The complete side, worthy defending premiers. Be tough to beat again this year.
