The North Queensland Cowboys defence of their 2015 premiership is floundering after Sundays shock loss at the hands of the Roosters.
The Cowboys failed to aim up in defence, missing 41 tackles as the club slumped to their third straight defeat and dropped to fifth on the NRL ladder.
Skipper Johnathon Thurston (pictured) says there are no easy answers to the clubs slump and called for a greater commitment from the entire footy club with the finals now just weeks away.
