Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

Leichhardt Oval stages the final clash of Round 25 as the Wests Tigers hunt a third consecutive victory for the first time in seven years, facing a North Queensland outfit playing solely for pride. The Tigers have hit their stride since the bye, following up a 28-14 triumph over Canterbury with last week’s 26-12 win against Manly. Adam Doueihi’s shift to halfback has paid dividends, while Jahream Bula continues to make a major impact from fullback. The Cowboys snapped their skid with a commanding 38-4 demolition of Newcastle, fuelled by Scott Drinkwater’s two-try, two-assist masterclass. However, their away form remains dire, having failed to win outside Queensland since Round 6. The Tigers were embarrassed 66-18 at Leichhardt last year, but have since turned the venue into a fortress with three straight wins. With faint finals hopes still flickering, the hosts look well positioned to maintain their late-season surge and deepen the Cowboys’ struggles.
