Sydney Roosters vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

The Sydney Roosters will aim to solidify their top-eight standing when they host a struggling North Queensland Cowboys side at Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Roosters showcased resilience in their gritty 12-8 comeback win over the Knights last week and receive a timely boost with the return of several Origin stars, including Lindsay Collins and Angus Crichton. However, they’ll be without Egan Butcher and Victor Radley, both sidelined with concussion.

In stark contrast, the Cowboys arrive reeling from a demoralising 58-4 defeat to the Dolphins—their fifth loss in six games. They regain some firepower with the return of their Origin contingent—Tom Dearden, Reece Robson, Jeremiah Nanai and Reuben Cotter—while Viliami Vailea and John Bateman also return from suspension to strengthen the squad.

While North Queensland have won the past two clashes between these sides—including at this ground last year—current form points to the Roosters being well positioned to reverse the trend.
