Nth Queensland Cowboys vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Another Queensland Derby is in-store, and if it turns out anything like last week’s thriller at Suncorp, we are in for a real treat.
The Broncos picked up their second win of the season with a memorable come-from-behind win over the Titans, while the Cowboys staged their own second-half comeback to fall just four points short to the Warriors.
Recent history between these two clubs suggests this game should be close, but this does look a very winnable game for the Cowboys in their return to Townsville.
Despite losing last week, North Queensland controlled the entire second half to keep the Warriors off the scoreboard, while there were also some promising signs on the Cowboys attack with Jason Taumalolo back in the fold.
Funnily enough, the last time the Broncos won a game on the road was against the Cowboys in Round 1 last year, but obviously, a lot has changed since then.
North Queensland has played to a steady 2-2 record at home this year, and if they can pick up where they left off in the final 40 minutes last week, the Cowboys should be adding to that record.
