I'm loving that field-goal from Niko in the first-half even more now!

Feldt scores, but misses conversion. Five mins left, 35-26.

Nervous finish.

They threw the ball around a bit more tonight. At 22-21 down and if we lost I would’ve thought at least we chanced our arm, but to win by 13 is a great effort. Well done!

Said this in the main thread.

Obviously we're not a great team, but there is a faint sign of life in there somewhere.

As rubbish as Kearney might be, the players haven't quit on him. That has to count for something

I don’t mind Kearneyball when it looks like that. They play with heart and discipline and construct their points, it’s nice to watch.
Was a most entertaining game and it was nice to relive that heart in mouth feeling for most of the game with the elation of us kicking clear toward the end. And it was nice to put a convincing win on a team who aren’t complete spuds, although the cows obviously have some issues at the moment.

Really liked Kodi’s running game tonight. Kept Cows guessing time and time again. If Green going to stay at 7 (which he will after tonight) then Egan needs to step up with a few runs or we’ll need to find someone who can who can offer other options

Losing Holmes was big for them and lost a forward as well for the game.

One big positive from that, no injuries or suspensions. Faamausili and Murchie both charged, but both won’t miss games with an early guilty plea. Basically makes it a freebie for us with Faamausili as the Roosters will probably cop his carryover points, haha
