Preview:
Capitalizing on Parramatta’s mistakes helped the Cowboys over the line last week against the Eels.
North Queensland dominated the second half scoring two tries inside the final 20-minutes, leaving the Cowboys sitting just two points shy of a spot in the top eight.
Canberra slipped up last week, but it was to be expected against the Bunnies. Canberra didn’t go down without a fight in the 16-12 slugfest, and if it wasn’t for Jarrod Croker’s dropped ball on the line with three minutes to go, the Raiders probably would’ve walked away with the points.
Fortunately, Canberra can take confidence in the fact they’ve won three straight over the Cowboys. The Raiders have been installed as the favourite this week at home, which isn’t surprising considering the Cowboys haven’t won in Canberra since 2017.
North Queensland will take a lot of momentum into this game following last week’s victory, but their 1-3 record on the road suggests the Cowboys could be in for a long day.
The Raiders, meanwhile, are 5-1 straight-up as the home favourite over the last 12 months, but after last week’s slow scoreless first half, take the Half-Time/Full-Time market for some value.
