Saturday evening sees the North Queensland Cowboys face off against the Parramatta Eels in Townsville.

The Cowboys won the last meeting between these two side in Round 8 of last season with Brent Tate scoring the only try of the second half, to see the Cowboys win by a score of 14 to 10.

Although the Eels went down by a point last week, they have surprised the competition in 2014 with a solitary win separating them from a top four spot.

The Cowboys have had a poor start to the season and a controversial loss last week against the Sea Eagles has seen them drop five of their last six matches.

Jarryd Hayne has been on fire for the Eels, scoring two tries last Monday and nearly single-handedly leading his side to victory.

For the Cowboys, Brent Tate produced a fine performance against the Sea Eagles and will be looking again to continue his try scoring streak.
