Five of those defeats have been by 10 points or less and there has plenty to admire about their efforts against Wests Tigers and Newcastle in recent weeks, both games going right down to the wire before slipping out of the Dolphins' grasp. The Cowboys remain in the hunt for a trop-eight spot despite a three-game losing streak dropping them from seventh to ninth and knocking their points differential down from +57 to +12. Unless the Cowboys can put some steel back in their defence they risk sliding out of finals contention with a danger game against the Dolphins followed by a daunting trip to Sydney to confront the Panthers in Round 27 Team News  Dolphins: Captain Jesse Bromwich will miss the game with a groin injury, while Robert Jennings is also out with a knee issue.
