NRL: North Queensland Cowboys coach Todd Payten spoke to the media following their round 17 victory over the Gold Coast Titans.
North Queensland coach Todd Payten says the club’s six-point win over Gold Coast alleviates pressure on the Cowboys who are still attempting to arrest the inconsistencies hindering the team.
They shot out to an early 12-0 lead in the first half before a knock-on from Reece Robson opened the door for the Titans to score as North Queensland struggled to retain possession. “It just gives the opposition field position and multiple shots on our try line. Until we get that right, that is what we need to change and things will go our way.”The fullback scored twice, had his hand in another with a delicate kick and made two line breaks in a huge display.
He took the high balls without fault and his ability to pop up at the right moment proved to be game-deciding.Payten said the key for Drinkwater was to now perform when multiple stars are absent for Origin duties for this week’s clash against the Melbourne Storm.
