A record-breaking effort from Cowboys star Jason Taumalolo lit up an empty ANZ Stadium last night as the Cowboys beat the Bulldogs 24-16 in the NRL.
The lack of atmosphere made no difference to Taumalolo, who finished with 345 metres, breaking Steve Price's all-time record for a forward of 323 in the process.
He also managed to score a try in the second half.
A handful of reporters present were able to hear individual calls from the players through the empty stadium, with an official attendance of 241 which included the players, NRL, stadium staff and media.
