Match Overview
3. Jason Taumalolo
Every run was barnstorming and gained 10+ metres. He ran 219m on the night, Taumalolo got the Cowboys over the top of the Sharks imposing pack.
2. Ethan Lowe
Ethan Lowe was a close second. His impact came defensively and all his hard work was rewarded with a strong run in the 73rd minute which ended up being the match winning try.
1. Johnathan Thurston
He created many forced drop outs for the Sharks in the first half and then in the second half his management to get his side the lead late and to maintain it had Thurston's fingerprints all over it.
