Finucanes first up contact on Taumalolo in this first half has been exceptional. Pretty much single handedly kept him out of this game so far.
I won't throw up any excuses. Storm were just too good and in my opinion would have won even if JT played. They are just a well drilled side and Cowboys didn't play all that badly. Shitty start but still had a dig in this game.
