North Queensland Cowboys vs Dolphins Preview

The Dolphins will bring their attacking firepower to Townsville on Saturday night as they face a severely understrength North Queensland Cowboys at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. Coming off a brutal 38-14 loss to Melbourne and a stinging public spray from coach Todd Payten, the Cowboys are desperate for a response but enter this clash with six key players unavailable due to Origin duties, injury or suspension.

North Queensland has won just one of its past five, and with major changes including the return of Jason Taumalolo and Murray Taulagi, the pressure is on to stabilise a shaky campaign.

The Dolphins, by contrast, are riding high after torching the Dragons 56-6 last week — taking their tally to 100 points in just two games. Ray Stone returns to replace the injured Max Plath, while Jake Averillo steps in at fullback for Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.

With momentum and cohesion on their side, the Dolphins look well-placed to capitalise on a depleted Cowboys outfit.
