Season 2018 is over for half the teams in the competition. The players are dreaming of white sandy beaches and end of year trips. Yet before the bags are packed and we erase from our memories the often terrible performances of the teams that finished in the bottom eight, letโs have a look at some of the positives that they had. Whilst all these teams will have a lot of work to do to improve their fortunes in 2019, what can they take from this season to build on?
North Queensland Cowboys
The good thing about the Cowboys' season is that there werenโt any surprises. Johnathan Thurston led the comp with try assists and line break assists, whilst the other JT,ย Jason Taumalolo had a strong running game.
As a team, they had the highest percentage of possession with 52%. All their players were solid and dependable. Consistency will get them far if they arenโt predictable and in 2019 their new line-up will force them to become less predictable.
