Sea Eagles presser
"We started alright, it certainly wasn't an effort thing," said coach Trent Barrett.
Responding the accusation of diving from rival coach Paul Green, captain Jamie Lyon said: "I can't really remember it. Did Greeny say a few words?
"He got in the way. probably went down. As the rules go, sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't."
Green Mocks Jamie Lyon Swan Dive
NORTH Queensland coach Paul Green has mocked retiring Manly captain Jamie Lyon for taking a swandive that appeared to play a role in the premiers being denied a try for obstruction.
The Cowboys marched to their fifth consecutive win when they beat the Sea Eagles 34-18 at Brookvale Oval but Green thought the world champs should have had at least one more try.
"I reckon Jamie Lyon should be nominated for a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award.," Green said of Lyon hitting the turf when the touchdown was chalked off for obstruction.
"Everyone is confused about the the obstruction. We have a coaches meeting this week and I'm sure obstruction will be discussed.
"I think we need to have discretion, in all seriousness. This rule in particular keeps bobbing up, keeps coming up. We all need to get on the same page."
Captain Johnathan Thurston said: "There's some great fooyt being played at the moment and it's disappointing we keep talking about this subject."
Green added: "Any win at Brookvale Oval is a good one but I was a bit disappointed in our second half effort.
"We lacked a bit of that ruthless mentalty. We put the cue in the rack.
"It was a tough game for everyone to prepare for when they know they're playing next weekend. Some of the players thought we had the game locked up and 'let's get this over and move on next week."

75 min: Godinet try, Lyon goal
No more waiting for Godinet to score. He has. Jake Trbojevic kicks for him after an offload in midfield from Siosia Vave and Lyon once more converts. Definitely the best try of the match. North Queensland 34-18

62 min: Cooper try, Thurston goal.
Gavin Cooper runs off Johnathan Thurston's left shoulder - as usual - the line is just too good for the Manly defence. This game's settled now. The Cowboys are just too good., I'd like to see some stats about premiership-winning sides in the salary cap era staying together. It can't have happened often. North Queensland 28-6

Sosia Vave slaps Kyle Feldt and we have a minor melee. Obviously, no punches are thrown. The penalty goes to the Cowboys and on the next set, but we have a disallowed try based on an obstruction. Jamie Lyon takes a giant dive without a hand laid on him. You can only hope it played no part in the decision. Andrew Voss actually just said Waiting For Godinet! Ha! North Queensland 22-6
