The Cowboys will look to arrest a three-game losing slide as they host the Sharks tonight. For the home side, a top four spot and precious home final is on the line. We’ll have live score updates at the commencement of the match at 7.30pm (AEST).
As paradoxical as it may sound, the Cowboys have gone backwards since the the return of star halfback and captain Johnathon Thurston.
They were pitiful at home to the Broncos are fortnight ago, and threw away a 12-point margin in the last ten minutes to lose the unloseable last Friday night against South Sydney.
For the Sharks, it has been another stuttering season for the club from the Shire.
If luck had fallen their way last weekend they could have beaten the Roosters in what ended 36-25 loss, albeit an entertaining one. They regain Albert Kelly for this match, who has not played since suffering a broken leg in Round 7.
They’ll be looking to throw the ball around again tonight, but if Neil Henry’s Cowboys have any designs on the NRL Premiership, they simply must win here, and no doubt they’ll be looking for inspiration from Thurston.
