Mate. We just gave the defending premiers a run, at their home ground. Yes, the result sucked, but the effort was there. After 14-0, we would of lost 42-6 in previous years. Great spirit and comeback.

Let's not forget the temperature. Pretty sure I heard them mention it was 30 degrees.

In my eyes 32-16 is not giving anyone a run for their money.

No issue at all the with the sin Binning, about the only call I didn't have a problem with.

How did they miss the pass for the last try??? Ffs it was two miles forward???

I love how every close decision isn't even replayed, is that a directive from the NRL???? Same thing happened last week. In the end dumb mistakes and some soft tries lost us the game. But the refs were so one sided it isn't funny.

The last one came off Semi trying to catch it.

The precedent was set last week you goose. You need to watch the storm vs tigers game

One game does not a season make. The commenators must not have watched it either. You are my hero armchair expert extraordinare, never worked out in his life

the first half everything went against us in the 2nd half we played better footy and held onto the ball, got lucky with 2 tries really when you think about it. but the last 15mins we played dumb and tired footy. Dropped too many balls, missed some simple tackles and gave away 2 dumb penalties.

A decent performance. The attack worries me a little but the defense is good (yes I know we lost). The attitude is top notch. And the sin binning was fair.

Not much in the game really.

Bulldogs have been up and down this year, I don't think they are good. We lost to the Broncos.

I'm happy with our year so far, we've won 5 games, I think we only won that many in total under Stuart didn't we?

Doesn't mean I can't be concerned with important aspects of our game. Ball control and attack has been relatively poor this year and like tonight has proven our defence only needs to be a little off and we get spanked.

That's the thing though. The Dogs aren't that good, but none of the teams apart from Cowboys and Broncs are really impressing so far. We are potentially a top four side (points penalty aside).

We have a lot of improvement and we showed a lot of character to come back from that halftime deficit. Ball control was awful but we still pushed the premiers.

Also got to wonder how much having the toughest run out of any team has affected us.

To be honest, until this salary cap stuff is sorted I'm not even that interested in our games.

Korny, no one likes to lose, but 14 points of the score was put on the team while a man down, very difficult against a mid table tam, impossible against a good team, in difficult conditions with the refs favouring them in 50/50 decisions

The combinations are getting better and not happy we lost, but very pleased with how the team is going this far in the season, we have played top 8 teams apart from Manly ( inc the Cowgilrs twice)

Good effort. Hard to win in Townsville against a red hot Cowboys especially when you make so many mistakes. It's 1-1 against the defending premiers though. Not many teams will have that record.

It was a bloody good effort!!, especially to get back into the game.

I bet the first thing BA mentions ( and probably several times) will be our completion rate!! We lost the game by just not holding the ball.

We will get better, but in my opinion the Cowboys are at their peak.
