FIX THIS SEARCH FOR ANSWERS AFTER “DIABOLIC” PERFORMANCE MESS MURPHY’S TIME TO SHINE

COWBOYS forward Coen Hess has labelled his side’s second half against the Roosters as “diabolic” as the team searches for answers amid a harrowing run of form.

Hess ( pictured) and his left edge teammates were torn to shreds by a rampant Roosters outfit at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on

Thursday night, with Roosters winger Matt Ikuvalu the big beneficiary in a five-try performance.

“We’re copping a fair bit of criticism at the moment, but as a club I think we just have to keep digging deep, keep turning up,” Hess said.

“We have a lot of hard work to do to get us out of this mess.”
