New Zealand Warriors vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

The New Zealand Warriors and North Queensland Cowboys will face off in a thrilling Magic Round clash at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday evening, with both teams in strong form. The Warriors have surged into the top four with five wins from their first seven matches, including a solid 26-12 win over Newcastle last week. They’ll be confident, having won four of their last five meetings with the Cowboys, but face a formidable challenge against a side full of momentum. The Cowboys come into this game on a four-match winning streak, including a dominant 50-18 victory over the Titans last week, which propelled them into the top six. Both teams are relatively unchanged, with the Warriors making one adjustment, bringing Te Maire Martin onto the bench for Jacob Laban, who is in concussion protocols. The Cowboys have named the same 17 that dismantled the Titans, with Harrison Edwards on the bench and Kaiden Lahrs potentially making his debut in the reserves.
