Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2879983, member: 1899"] On first view it appeared the Eels looked short of a gallop. In hindsight it's fair to say they threw everything at the Storm the week before and had nothing left to give. Meanwhile despite playing an extra ten minutes the Cowboys took a lot of belief out of their win against the Sharks. The key for them was that try to Kyle Feldt. After that Radradra try they could have easily dropped their heads and let the Eels roll over them. Instead the Cowboys sucked it up, exploited the poor defence down the Eels right hand side and Feldt came up with a spectacular finish. All of a sudden, the Eels lost one of their key players in Daniel Alvaro who has been one of the form front rowers of the competition and the Cowboys were all over them. The Will Smith try was a false dawn and when the second half started with that mistake from Jennings it set the tone for the Eels. The Cowboys were relentless in that second half. Nothing flashy, just their forwards making in-roads, their halves coming up with an excellent kicking game and they made the most of their opportunities. When the Eels finally made their way down the field they just didn't respect the ball enough and didn't challenge the Cowboys enough in the air. I thought the standard was definitely better than what we saw last night and the Cowboys continue to impress despite their season being written off all the way back in Round 9. [/QUOTE]
