I didn't see much in it to be honest, although the first Dearden try I'd have liked to have seen slowed down.
Either way, Cowboys are second on the ladder for good reason. Our bench fails to hold up to the intensity of our starting forwards, and that hurt us today.
Still a decent performance made to look worse on the scoreboard.
Those stats are most definitely wrong.
We got at least 1 ruck infringement set restart and 1 offisde set restart in the second half alone.
That said I don't think we had one player over 100m today.
Cowboys have speed to burn in all areas- including the forwards. They also have some monster forwards to dominate the ruck, and put pressure on smaller defenders.
The combination of possession in our half (we had to play out of our half all second half), repeat sets, and penalties to get them downfield, with their smart halves and big forwards, meant that they would always wear us down.
Plus, the con of having to give away our home game took away any advantage we might have had.
