Bowman scored 24 points from three tries and six goals to better Graham White's previous best match haul of 22 points set in 1997. The 40-18 triumph over the Norths Devils marked a landmark day for the Comets, who now sit just one point adrift of fifth spot following the win - their biggest against the Devils in Queensland Cup history. Remarkably, the Comets were able to knuckle down for a well deserved victory despite another week of turmoil. Player/coach Wayne Bennett was ruled out with a foot injury during a dramatic week which also saw the resignation of CEO Rob Crow. Former Broncos and Cowboys winger Scott Minto is the new Comets CEO. Minto would have liked what he saw today as the Comets ran in seven tries to three to outclass the Devils. Having recorded five wins already, Barnett believes the team is on target to reach their pre-season goal of seven wins. The Comets will be hunting for a fourth straight win when they host the Burleigh Bears at Rockhampton's Browne Park on Saturday. Barnett is convinced the Comets can keep the momentum going. "Why not?" Barnett offered when asked whether the Comets could make it four in a row. "Good teams win three and even better teams win four. "But it's going to be tough. Burleigh is coming off a loss so they will be determined to turn it around." But for now, Barnett is just happy to enjoy the moment. "I've been at the club for three years and we haven't done that (three wins) before," he said. The Comets conceded the first try of today's match but were never really headed after bridging the gap. Big forward Andrew Lomu was the Devils' most destructive player. The former Bronco bagged two tries.
