Hate to say it, but that was very much the same old Cowboys in the first half. Ruck defence was absolutely awful even with Johnson there - when Newcastle of all teams are beating you up the middle, you really do have problems. They're still well and truly in the game but if they defend like they did in that first half they'll get belted. Tamou and Payne have been a disgrace.
Cowboys deffo still in this points galore down the left fringe if they want them. Agree with you Paddy though has been poor defence, need to hold onto the ball and limit their field position.
And people wonder why I get so angry when they put in a piss poor showing. Am I a little harsh, probably but thats how I am, I believe this teams better then what they showed thus far.
He is pretty poor but I don't dislike listening to him for some reason. I think it's because I can imagine having a beer with him and watching the game. You've obv met him so it's good to know he's a good bloke; seems like it.
It's Rd 2. Every team is going to put in a poor 40 now and then, in defence. I'm not surprised their defence has been poor. They've made twice as many tackles. I agree about Payne and Tamou. The latter is usually much better in defence. Payne was a lot like this last week.
Wtf happened to Tamou, was awesome a week ago, absolute puss tonight in defence. Id love them to comeback and win, I just passionately hate these dire starts, we cant do that next week against Melbourne.
