North Harbour are out to end on a high after only managing one win this season, all the way back in Week 2, against Perth Spirt.
The Rays are coming off a hard, two-point loss at the hands of the Greater Sydney Rams.
Despite the Rays fighting back in the last 10 minutes, the Rams held on for the win.
Queensland Country come to Pittwater Rugby Park knowing that winning their next two games could potentially get them a spot in the semi-finals.
They are coming off an impressive, eight-point win over the NSW Country Eagles, who sit above them on the table.
Despite a hard start to the season, Queensland Country seem to be on the right track, however they will be hoping their second coming did not come too late.
When these two sides faced off last year North Harbour edged past Queensland Country 32 – 29.
Prediction
This is a must-win game for Queensland Country, and in recent times North Harbour have seemingly given up when faced with pressure.
Country should win this comfortably if they don’t panic.
