Preview:
There’s plenty on the line as the Tigers and Cowboys both hope to keep their faint finals hopes alive on Thursday night.
Wests walked away with a narrow two-point win over the Knights in Newcastle last week thanks to a big second-half effort from Robbie Farah and Paul Momirovski.
The Cowboys also found themselves in a scrappy two-point contest with the Sharks, only North Queensland was on the losing end away from home.
It will take a miracle for Paul Green’s side to make a last-ditch final run, but the Cowboys should be up for a fight this week after losing to the Tigers in overtime back in Round 14.
If you’ve been keeping count at home, you’ll know the Tigers have won two straight games over North Queensland. Wests are also 3-1 as the home favourite against the Cowboys while the last six meetings between these two sides have been decided by 1-12 points.
The Tigers could potentially rejoin the eight this week with a win, so back Wests in a close one.
