Weird game. Storm seemed to dominate, not do much but win easily. Two of the Cowboys’ three tries were really out of nothing.
The scoreline really didn’t reflect the contest but I thought the Cowboys actually played quite well asides from a few horrific penalties they gave away.
Only missed 18 tackles which was really impressive.
Max King was excellent. He’s a big man too - he’s filled the void left by Christian Welch really, really well.
I also thought it was interesting how much the attack favoured the right side. That must have been a focus going into the game to try and tighten up the attack on that side of the field.
Anyone else notice the guys are kicking much earlier in the tackle count? I reckon Bellamy’s brought that in to try and catch teams off guard a little - the Storm are also the worst team for five-tackle sets this year having kicked the ball dead more than anyone else.
