Looks like cows are running out of steam after their big run... sharks have looked the better with cows reliant on yardage penalties to get down the field.

Well its the Todd Payten 'just play fast' gameplan, they can only manage it in short bursts of consecutive games, the Cows look like a tired team.

Without Drinkwater scoring and setting up the points they would be bottom 4.

yeah can't pass it back to the 20m for a 7 tackle set restart.
Yeah it's been around for awhile now... the ref will usually yell out to them that they can't take it quick because of the pass and then everyone's just waiting around for the defence to get set.

🤔 doesn't Seibold have a similar game plan

But nothing beats Seibold's number one plan - defend self when questioned by media - this trumps any and all coaching responsibilities

Have some of the best group of forwards in the game but can't miss out on playing Granville in the middle when he is more washed than a dirty sweater. Fucking terrible. Don't worry taumalolo and cotter are playing well on the bench together...

Dearden and Townsend's kicking games are terrible tonight.

Thats a big try for the Sharks there given how much ball the Cowboys had early on in the second half in Sharks territory.

We all know the Cows are going to start getting a leg up here to make it an 'exciting' finish right? #GameManagement

Yeah I think Payten is getting too big brain with this use of Granville... it was nice when Lolo was injured and Cotter was getting through origin, but no need to be still using it now when you're in must win territory.
