Nth Queensland Cowboys vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The Sharks have hit a bit of a purple patch as they look to extend their winning streak to four on Friday against the Cowboys.
It wasn’t pretty, but Cronulla managed to squeak out a last-second win over the half-strength Panthers last week to slide up to ninth, while the Cowboys are simply looking to forget all about their disheartening 50-18 loss to Manly at Pines Park.
Home field advantage largely explains why the Cowboys are favourites in betting, but the Sharks should feel pretty confident knowing they won 48-10 when these two sides met back in April.
Better yet, Cronulla has won six straight over North Queensland dating back to 2018, two of which have come away from home.
That said, trusting either side is incredibly difficult for punters on the back of two questionable defensive performances last week.
It’s hard to feel confident, but with the Cowboys sporting a 5-2 record at home this year and Kyle Feldt returning to the side, North Queensland are worthy of a mulligan.
