Cowboys draw in Cairns

A LATE try to Laitia Moceidreke on the stroke of full-time has helped the Cowboys salvage a 22-22 draw in a thrilling finish against the Dolphins at Barlow Park.

The Dolphins appeared to have stolen victory after coming from behind earlier in the match before the Cowboys crossed late to level the scores with Zac Laybutt unable to convert from out wide.

Young guns Tom Chester and Thomas Duffy put their hand up for future selection at North Queensland.

Cowboys coach Todd Payten said it was a good pre-season hit-out.

“We were quite clunky close to the try line. We lacked a bit of continuity with what we were doing.” he said.

“It was disappointing in some ways but good to get through with no injuries.

“I thought our back five were really strong and James Tamou was our best middle, (he) got through a lot of work and I wouldn’t have expected anything less.”

The Cowboys face the Broncos in another pre-season match on the Sunshine Coast before the NRL season begins.

Meanwhile, the Northern Pride had a 2416 win against the Cowboys Young Guns in a trial, which served as the curtain-raiser.

Weipa brothers Denzel King and Seamus King-Smith took to the field for the Pride.
