残虐な Cowboys 乱打する Roosters in turnaround NRL 勝利,勝つ

North Queensland have 乱打するd the Sydney Roosters in their best 陳列する,発揮する of the year for a deserved 20-6 勝利,勝つ with winger Murray Taulagi producing another 素晴らしい 魔法 一連の会議、交渉/完成する play.

The Cowboys had won just one of their past five matches 長,率いるing into Sunday's game but defended like demons and took their chances in a 素晴らしい 逆転 of form after last week's 44-6 loss to Cronulla.

It was their fourth 勝利,勝つ of the NRL season and one that could turn their (選挙などの)運動をする around.

"It was a 堅い week," a delighted Cowboys coach Todd Payten said.

"I challenged our players. I challenged our character, after last 週末, and said this next month is going to be character 明らかにする/漏らすing. I liked what I saw every minute of every day at training, and it was the same in that contest."

On the cusp of kick-off the heavens opened and 配達するd a downpour. So 激しい was the rain it knocked out the Roosters' communication systems and coach Trent Robinson moved from the stands to the sideline to direct his team in the first half.

The Cowboys muscled up in the wet, chopped-up turf to 得点する/非難する/20 the first try to barnstorming lock Reuben Cotter after a delightful short pass from 支え(る) Coen Hess.

Hess and Cotter were at their best in the 開始 half and showcased the grit and physicality for which their 味方する was renowned last season on their way to the 予選 final.

To a man, the Cowboys 今後s took the Roosters pack on with gusto. 支え(る) Jamayne Taunoa-Brown clipped Roosters warhorse Jared Waerea-Hargreaves around the chin and was put on 報告(する)/憶測.

Waerea-Hargreaves got up and said: "Let me 割れ目 you G." He then turned to 審判(をする) Ashley Klein and 追加するd: "I'm happy to 割れ目 him bro."

Taunoa-Brown nonchalantly grinned during a 対決 that 最高潮の場面d the Cowboys' approach to the Roosters.

North Queensland repelled the Roosters at the start of the second half and then struck. Second-rower Jack Gosiewski got his 手渡す on a grubber by Chad Townsend for a 12-0 lead before Taulagi showcased the 技術 and strength that earned him a Queensland jersey in 2022.

Fullback Scott Drinkwater put up a 非常に高い 爆弾 and as it landed, Taulagi let the ball 小衝突 his thigh. He tiptoed 負かす/撃墜する the sideline, regathered and threw an inside ball for Chad Townsend to 得点する/非難する/20. The Cowboys never looked 支援する.

Taulagi threw what was tagged the "pass of the century" last year at 魔法 一連の会議、交渉/完成する against Wests Tigers, when he was one metre over the sideline and in 中央の-空気/公表する, for Drinkwater to 得点する/非難する/20. Benji Marshall, of 2005 grand final flick pass fame, said it was better than his own 素晴らしい 成果/努力.

Drinkwater and Cowboys halves Tom Dearden and Townsend kicked better than their 対抗者s.

The Roosters were disjointed in attack and rarely looked likely to 得点する/非難する/20. Five-eighth Joey Manu was put on 報告(する)/憶測 for a high 発射 on Cotter.

"We were looking for some 救済 through them, rather than working for it," Roosters coach Robinson said.

"When you're relying on 動機づけ to play this game you're in trouble."
