The Serve

What they said: Cowboys and Warriors

Here are snippets of the post match press conference

Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston:

“We’ve got some level headed blokes, senior blokes, in the team that keep everyone composed.12-6 down, we could have panicked, (but) we stayed composed and fought our way back.”

Cowboys coach Graham Murray:

“Today’s performance was one of the best the Cowboys have ever put up. I think everyone in North Queensland should be very, very proud.”

“It’s an exceptional group of blokes. They keep aiming up. They certainly trust each and play a good brand of football, on the back of a good spirit.”

Warriors captain Steve Price:

“I can’t remember touching the ball in the last twenty minutes.”

“You don’t get beaten by 40 if you play well, do you?”

Warriors coach Ivan Cleary:

“I thought the biggest thing was probably the try they scored on half time. We finally started to complete some sets, the game was in the balance. They struck a telling blow.”

“We left out worst till last, unfortunately. Certainly played our part in the Cowboys day, that’s for sure.”
