I should say from the outset, despite being a rusted-on Cowboys supporter, I had absolutely no faith in the Cowboys way back at the…
Cheers for commenting Hard Yards. I can see why the Cowboys tabled him such a big offer. At the time he was the reigning Dally M Medalist, and was tossing up publicly whether he was going to stay in the NRL or defect to the NFL. Obviously the Cows wanted to lock up their man, and it’s easy to see why; he’s practically the only Cowboy out there producing reliable metres and defensive grit week-to-week. I think that paying one million and only playing him for half a game is a poor use of his talents. If they want to get the best value, in my opinion they should move JT to the backrow and play him for 80, but that’s up to him and Todd Payten.
When will the Cowboys' dark days end?

I’ve been impressed with Dearden so far despite the poor results, I think once he and Drinkwater create a good combination where they’re both on the same page the pairing will start to pay dividends. It’d be a shame if all that hard work is undone by slotting in Townsend next year at half.

Agreed, Tolman had dropped down before any Cowboys player had laid a hand on him; if they’d kept their hands off him he would’ve had a mouthful of dirt no doubt. You could even hear the ref say that he heard where the Cows were coming from but it was ‘just how it had to be at the moment’. I’m guilty of bagging the ref as much as anyone, but the ref can’t adjudicate the game properly if he’s constantly being undermined by cut-and-dry edicts from above like sending a player off for high contact, even if the defender took all possible steps to avoid it.
The NRL crackdown is an indictment on administrators
