Letter to the Editor

Dear Cowboys

On behalf of every North Qlder I want you to know that we are proud of every one of you. You have come second in the biggest rugby league competition in the world. You are the second-best football team in the world.

You lost your captain and leader of the forwards. You lost your captain and leader of the backs. You lost your play maker.

No other one of the eight finalists lost any of those key players.

I led the cheering in my part of the grandstand, clap, clap, clap…Cow-boys (shout). I thank you all who poured your heart out for eighty minutes.

Next year Storm will not have all of their key players. We will.

Go the ‘Boys.

Thank you. You’ve done us proud.

Hon Bob Katter

Life Member of the Rugby League
