Coen Hess is all aboard the Heilum Luki train, saying the destructive backrower would not look out of place in a Maroons jersey.
Despite some early struggles and inconsistency in the early stages of this season, the Cowboys in the past two weeks with their back-to-back wins against St George Illawarra and the Roosters at Magic Round have shown just what they can do in a return to the type of form that saw the unheralded side storm into the finals last year.
“That’s probably what it comes down to, I know last year we were extremely blessed,” Hess said. “I think we only had one or two injuries for the whole year, so you have years where injuries are a part of it and hopefully, touch wood, we've sort of weathered the early storm. “If we get some troops back and make a bit of a run, then it doesn't really matter how you start, it’s about how you finish.”
“It's probably a bit of what we did last year … our game plan is really simple, we put a lot of effort into line speed and trying to slowly win that field position battle and then we've got enough attacking flare in our backline so we can score points if we just park them down there for long enough,” Hess said.“Chaddy made up a theme, ‘win the game early, score the points late’, so it's more so just getting a bit back to that sort of philosophy and way of thinking.
