Nth Queensland Cowboys vs Sydney Roosters Preview
They are one of the few clubs with legitimate home ground advantage in Round 18, but the Cowboys have their work cut out for them with the Sydney Roosters.
They found a lovely patch of form to toe the eight just a few weeks ago, but their trashing defeat at the hands of the Sea Eagles after Origin 1 looks to have blown the wheels right off the wagon, and they have been thrashed by the Knights and Souths in the wake.
A weakened Roosters proved slightly too strong for the Bulldogs at their best in Round 17, but they were given a real wakeup call by the Storm the week prior, and focus simply needs to return this week if they are going to make the top four.
I think that it will, and I think that the Roosters will win this one comfortably.
