The stuttering North Queensland Cowboys are pitted against the Newcastle Knights in today’s Saturday-arvo encounter. Join The Roar for live scores from 3pm (AEST).

The Cowboys are one of the NRL’s most frustrating sides. Boasting a list laden with representative talent, they’ve been unable to play to their potential for some time, and 2020 has been no exception.

Contrast that with the Knights, who suddenly look like the real deal. Kalyn Ponga, locked in long-term with the club on a multi-million dollar deal, is dominating from fullback, and tonight his former club will see first-hand what they’re missing out on.

To be fair to the Cowboys, injuries have played a part this year, and will again tonight. Michael Morgan and Valentine Holmes are still out injured, although there is a chance towering prop Jordan McLean could make an early comeback after being named in the extended reserves. Corey Jensen has dropped out of the side after last week’s loss to the Tigers which saw North Queensland out of the game by halftime.

There’s just the one change for the Knights today from the side which so comprehensively dismantled the Broncos last week, although it is a significant one: gun centre Bradman Best is out of the side after breaching COVID-19 protocols. Enari Tuala comes into the backline in Best’s place.
