Campbelltown Stadium should be rocking this afternoon as the Wests Tigers host the North Queensland Cowboys in what should be an enthralling affair between two teams in great form. Join us for live scores and commentary from 3.00pm AEST.
After a horrendous start to season 2012, the Tigers have won their past four matches and now face a litmus test today against a Cowboys side currently entrenched inside the top four.
The Tigers produced their best performance of the season last week against the Warriors, coming back from 10-nil down to win 24-22 at Leichhardt Oval.
North Queensland on the other hand managed to fork out a tight 30-28 victory against the Panthers last week, despite missing four players due to State of Origin duty.
The battle between superstar halves Benji Marshall and Johnathon Thurston should be the highlight this afternoon with both players in great form at the moment.
Marshall is coming off a good performance against the Warriors while Thurston will be full of confidence after guiding Queensland to victory against New South Wales on Wednesday night.
Prediction
Despite attaining four consecutive victories, the Tigers continue to struggle upfront, and they could be in for a torrid afternoon against a Cowboys pack featuring some in-form forwards.
Matthew Scott, James Tamou, Dallas Johnson and Jason Taumalolo are all making strong yardage this season and will once again fancy their chances of dominating a Tigers pack that can struggle to make territory.
Tigers forward Aaron Woods and Keith Galloway will have to produce their best performances of the season to date if the Tigers are a chance of matching North Queensland’s pack.
Whichever team wins the forward battle will go a long way to winning this contest.
If the Tigers struggle to contain the Cowboys mobile forwards, North Queensland trio Thurston, Matthew Bowen and Aaron Payne will wreck havoc today.
The Tigers will have to pay particular attention to Thurston’s combination with Ashley Graham.
Graham is the NRL’s leading try scorer with 12 four pointers and his combination with Thurston has seen the former Eels centre transform himself into one of the game’s best finishers.
The Cowboys meanwhile will also have to keep tabs on Tigers captain Robbie Farah.
The Blues hooker had a solid game on Wednesday night and is the man responsible for igniting the Tigers attack up the middle.
If Farah is allowed to turn the big Cowboys defenders inside out, the Tigers will dominate proceedings and Marshall will come into his own.
With both teams in great form, home ground advantage has special significance in a match like this. On the back of a loud Campbelltown crowd, the Tigers may just have the inspiration necessary to hold out the Cowboys in a high scoring and entertaining contest.
Tigers by 4.

The Tigers are alive and kicking in season 2012 as they secure their fifth consecutive win today against the Cowboys. In a great contest, both teams came to life in attack today with the highlight of the match arguably being Tamou’s chase when Marshall made a break. Tamou managed to track Marshall down and the contest continued to go back and forth from there. The Cowboys had their chances to hit the lead late in the second half but the Tigers held on well and it was Marshall in the end who was the matchwinner for the Tigers in the second half, scoring a try and then laying one on for Moltzen with a deft short pass. The Tigers have hit form and will be tough to beat. The Cowboys however played well themselves but fell just short. Thanks for joining us this afternoon and we look forward to your company for Monday night football on The Roar.

Tigers take a narrow two point lead against the Cowboys into halftime and will be happy with the result thus far given the possession that the Cowboys have enjoyed. The Tigers scored first through Moltzen but the Cowboys hit back with two back to back tries to Hall and Winterstein. The Cowboys did look in control in the first half and had chances to increase their lead. The Tigers however have held on well and are leading courtesy of an intercept try to Tuqiri. This should now go down to the wire.

Good afternoon and welcome to this live NRL blog covering what should be a highly entertaining encounter between the Tigers and Cowboys. Both teams are in good form with the Tigers having won their last four matches. The Cowboys are also riding high sitting inside the top four. The Tigers at home will be difficult to upstage, particularly at Campbelltown stadium where the Tigers usually produce some great football on a Sunday afternoon. If any team can outplay the Tigers though, its a Cowboys team featuring attacking stars Thurston, Bowen, Payne and the NRL’s leading tryscorer Graham. This should be a great contest so please leave your thoughts on the match as it happens.
