Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

Leichhardt Oval hosts the final match of Round 25 as the Wests Tigers chase three straight wins for the first time in seven years against a North Queensland side playing purely for pride. The Tigers have found momentum after the bye, backing up a 28-14 win over Canterbury with a 26-12 defeat of Manly last week. Adam Doueihi’s transition to halfback has been a success, while Jahream Bula’s influence from fullback has been telling. The Cowboys, meanwhile, arrested a slump with a 38-4 thrashing of Newcastle, driven by Scott Drinkwater’s two-try, two-assist display. But their road form remains poor, with no interstate wins since Round 6. The Tigers were humbled 66-18 at Leichhardt in 2023 but have since taken three straight at their spiritual home. With finals calculations still faintly alive, the hosts appear well placed to continue their late-season revival and extend the Cowboys’ woes.
