"I'm very proud of the lads and the whole club," Payten said after the win over the Titans. The Cowboys legend's previous try was week one of the finals series in 2022. Shocking errors and defence by the Titans all but handed Cowboys second-rower Luki a try on the cusp of halftime. Sami equalled "The Don" after halftime with his second try of the night after Purdue's infringement. After Purdue's magic, Luki scored his second try of the game to secure a crucial win.
