The North Queensland Cowboys are at home to the Newcastle Knights to round out Saturday night NRL. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:35pm AEST.
The Newcastle Knight have forgotten how to score tries and the longer the drought continues, the more the frustration will build.
It could be tricky conditions in Townsville with heavy rain forecast this weekend across Queensland.
The Knights have made 30 errors in their own half this season – it’s always bad to turn the ball over but doubly so when it gifts field position to the opponents. With a patched-together team, Newcastle are going to struggle to remain competitive away to the red-hot Cowboys if they continue that trend.
For the Cowboys, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow looked tentative when he made his comeback from a knee injury in the second half of the Darwin demolition of the Eels but was still able to play a part in the late avalanche of tries. He’s again been named on the bench and with Scott Drinkwater excelling at fullback, does Todd Payten could slot him into the centres ahead of veteran Peta Hiku.
