Cowboys should focus on future, not past

Another finals series, and another heartbreaking loss to the North Queensland Cowboys once again.

Despite the circumstances surrounding the loss, it’s safe to say the Cowboys underperformed overall in 2013.

A late season run to the finals saved face from a embarrassing season after so much hype and expectations. Now it’s back to reality and 2014 should be the focus for the Cowboys and it’s supporters.

The idea of rematching Cronulla is ludicrous and cancelling the infamous 7 tackle try in retrospect will never happen, and would create huge precedent and open the floodgates. As it would lead to every questionable ‘try’ be viewed in retrospect and would create a hassle of massive proportions.

As bad as the mistake was, we have to move on and look forward to the future, one without Matty Bowen. One of uncertainty as we will never know what type of Cowboys will show up, the one at their potential or that of every inconsistent side that shows itself up one too many times.

Consistency is key in order to win a premiership, and the Cowboys for one season need to show when that will happen or they may just become the QLD’s Cronulla Sharks. All that time and nothing to show in the cabinet.
