North Queensland Cowboys vs New Zealand Warriors Preview
North Queensland Cowboys will go into Friday nights game against the New Zealand Warriors as the short priced favourites.
The Warriors have had another long, disappointing season but did score an upset win over the Bulldogs last week.
The Cowboys went down to the Roosters last round and will be looking to bounce back with a win here.
Interestingly when these two teams met in April it was the Warriors who won in a golden point thriller.
That’s not enough for me to back them here though, Cowboys should win comfortably.
Betting Update:
Punters only want one team here and it’s no surprise it’s the Cowboys.
They’re into $1.09 with online bookmaker Ladbrokes. The Warriors are unwanted, they’re out to $7.75 and could drift further.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping North Queensland Cowboys to win at $1.09 odds.
