2010 resulted in a very poor season for the Cowboys who recorded just five wins from a possible 24 matches (although four of those were against teams who participated in the finals during the year) and, had the Melbourne Storm
not been deducted premiership points for their salary cap breach earlier this year, would have received the wooden spoon. The Cowboys finished 15th of 16. Highlights during the season though included a near-comeback against the Brisbane Broncos
in the first round coupled with a 32-18 win against the Gold Coast Titans
