Cowboys vs Eels

The Eels get a chance to end their premiership drought in next Sunday's grand final against either the Panthers or Rabbitohs. The way they managed the second half was much better than ours, I don’t think they made an error and the way they scrambled and defended their line, that’s the difference between a win and a loss." Mitchell Moses made a massive sacrifice for his team-mates today, he didn’t get to see the birth of his daughter, that’s huge, it shows you what it means. I thought we stayed composed, started the second half strong, but in the end Parramatta played finals footy for [longer]. To be 12-all at half-time, after having Jase (Taumalolo) in the bin for 10 minutes, I thought that was a really good effort. A crucial try-saver which kept Parramatta right in the contest.
