THE opportunity to take on his mates is one Coen Hess is relishing. In fact he expects it to bring out the best of him against the Gold Coast Titans. His North Queensland teammates have labelled him ‘the thoroughbred’ — a nickname led by stand-in captain Jordan McLean — for the way in which he has continued to tone his imposing figure. But all the work he has put in since the off-season began, and continued throughout rugby league’s coronavirus-enforced hiatus, will be for nothing if he does not use it to his benefit on the field. For now, however, Hess is simply letting his new title roll off his back.

TIME off the field has enlightened Francis Molo. The Cowboys prop admits that prior to the coronavirus pandemic he could be guilty of taking the little things for granted. Not anymore. Typically at this time of year Molo is scattered across the country. Throughout the week, he is constantly heading back and forward from Cowboys HQ. Having had the opportunity to be with his family when he normally would not, those insights have given him a profound appreciation. https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/sport/nrl/cowboys/the-promising-signs-cowboys-winger-sees-in-a-blossoming-combination/news-story/eb8fd09ea60c24007510d0cdf2b468f8
KEY to any backline dominating opposition teams is relationships. The better the team gels in rugby league the greater the results. With the North Queensland Cowboys side brimming with new combinations, it was always going to take time for those relationships to build on the field. But as coronavirus reared its ugly head, the chance to sync in game situations was taken away. In spite of that, Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt believes the unity in the group will shine through when the NRL returns on May 28. The 28-year-old was two games into his fresh combination with recruit Esan Marsters, who was brought in from Wests Tigers to strengthen the centres. A sign of a strong centre-wing pairing is their ability to communicate and defend well together, and Feldt said there were promising indicators in the infancy of their partnership. |
