Round 23 vs Cowboys

[franklin2323]

It is a good point you make. I, like many others was concerned that the big Cowboys pack would steam roll us, especially with us missing our tackling machine Taylor. But Plummy and Docker stuck it too them and the whole team tackled like Demons. Idris decided that he would pull off some big hits (Morgan will be waking up in a sweat calling out for his mum after THAT tackle) and the team effort nullified the Cowboys big boppers.

If we can do that again, we can beat the Storm.

They still pretty much offloaded at will though. Weather helped us there. Storm don't do offloads. Our errors and penalty conceding are we they can hurt us.

Yeah, we gave away too many penalties. Can't afford to do that if our line defense is going to be a shit as it was on Monday. (After a pretty good effort against the Dragons in that respect.)

Cowboys offload and any team which does that goes well against us. Dragons don't hence we went well

Agree re errors, but offloads were 6 v 5 to them. Hardly an avalanche of second phase play by either teams.

Because the rain. They scored a simple try off an offload. In a tight game that could be the difference in a few weeks.
