Preview:

The season end of the NRL is approaching, and there’s still lots to sort out before the finals take place. The first game of round 20 is between North Queensland and Brisbane, taking place at 1300SMILES Stadium on Friday, 7.35pm. The Broncos are in a desperate situation for this time of the season, six points out of the top eight with only seven matches left to play. While they can still make the finals on paper, they will need to win six of those seven matches. The Cowboys will be their first test in this huge challenge, and with the return of Origin stars Johnathan Thurston, Brent Tate, Matt Scott and James Tamou; it will not be an easy one.
