Has a team ever played so poorly as the Cowboys on Thursday night - yet somehow clocked up 38 points and got the win? It's just as well for the Cowboys that the Storm rested 10 players and lost Ryan Papenhuyzen and Marin Seve in the space of 90 seconds in the first half because otherwise, they would have thumped a listless North Queensland team. The Cowboys went into the game thinking they would win easily and were quickly brought back to earth by the 'spare parts' Storm outfit. Coach Todd Payten is certain to give his troops a blast this week for their attitude - they conceded 30 points and had 46 missed tackles, with fullback Scott Drinkwater, half Jake Clifford and lock Reuben Cotter all missing six. They do that in the finals and they will go straight out the back door.
