What sort of logic is that? Bursting out to a 20 point lead wouldn't be a positive then? If you'd offered us a 6 point win this morning we'd have been mad not to have taken it.
Footy isn't played without context. The way the game went for us, particularly in that second half holding on the way we did under that amount of pressure in those conditions was extremely impressive. This wasn't the meme Cowboys either, they were well up for it in front of a big crowd.
If I had to find negatives:
We dropped way too much ball in the first half
Their second was a terrible read from Tago
We always seem to find a way to not score a field goal to kill games off
Outside of that it was an outstanding effort, one we'll take an enormous amount of strength from I'd think. Even other teams trolls were in here gloating about no team being able to win with 40% ball in Townsville humidity. Well, we did and the biggest complaint is it should have been more comfortable? But really no positives?
Fmd.
I prefer to look at how we got that lead.
Alamoti intercept right on half time
Martin scored because Valemi dropped a kick and came straight to Martin.
Cowboys don't hand us those 2 tries we lose, Despite what I agree was an amazing defensive effort.
now on to the back 30 mins of both halves actually
This was my main concern why we couldn't wrestle back momentum, Particularly if we aren't handed those 2 tries we had no answer.
As was the case 2 games ago v Manly and to a lesser extent last week early in the 2nd half
