North Queensland Cowboys vs Wests Tigers Preview
North Queensland secured a much-needed victory in Magic Round, halting a worrying slide with a patchy win over Souths. Meanwhile, Wests Tigers continue to struggle, enduring a seven-match losing streak. The Cowboys’ win broke a five-game slump, but defensive concerns persist, with no game seeing them concede fewer than 18 points this season. The Tigers, with just two wins, are grappling with offensive issues, scoring over 18 points only once this season. Changes in the Tigers’ lineup aim to bolster their performance, but the Cowboys hold recent dominance in head-to-head matchups. Despite last season’s remarkable scorelines, the Tigers’ lack of attacking prowess makes an upset unlikely. The Cowboys, with their firepower, are poised to secure another vital win as they seek stability before Origin disruptions.
