Sydney Roosters vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

Another match of the round contender as the second-placed North Queensland Cowboys head south to take on the streaking Sydney Roosters.

The Roosters have won four in a row – scoring 150 points in the process – and were far too good for the Broncos in a 34-16 victory last Thursday. Luke Keary and Victor Radley are finding their groove after injury-interrupted periods, while James Tedesco’s influence behind a steamrolling forward pack has been palpable post-Origin.

This is a key clash for the Tricolours, however; they remain eighth with a two-point lead on the chasing bunch and face a tough run home. Hooker Sam Verrills (HIA protocols) is in doubt but Egan Butcher returns from a one-game ban on the Roosters’ bench.

The Cowboys have won 13 of their last 15 games and have put the controversial defeat of the Tigers behind them with an authoritative 34-8 win over the Dragons and a 28-14 comeback victory against the dangerous Bulldogs after being slow out of the blocks.

Reuben Cotter made a superb comeback from injury against Canterbury, while spine trio Chad Townsend, Tom Dearden and Scott Drinkwater continue to shine. Jordan McLean returns this week from the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the Origin decider.

The Cowboys are looking to snap a four-match losing streak against the Roosters, while they haven’t beaten the Tricolours in a regular-season game in Sydney since 2010. The Chooks cruised to a 28-4 victory over a sin-bin-stricken Cowboys side in Townsville in Round 4.

But the Cowboys a far tougher proposition these days and provide strong underdog value here if they can slow the Roosters’ roll through the middle. Strap in for potentially one of the best games of the season so far.
