Show Preview
The Sydney Roosters will be looking to make a statement when they travel to Townsville to take on the North Queensland Cowboys. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm (AEST).
The Roosters are in a position they haven’t been in for quite some time: coming off a loss. Having won five straight after the break, Trent Robinson’s men were dealt their first defeat since March last week, albeit in a thrilling, match of the season contender against the Storm.
The Cowboys have no such problems with being unfamiliar with their situation – their issue is how frequently the losses have come this season. Last week’s 38-point hammering at the hands of the Eels, their fifth defeat of the year, has only increased pressure on the beleaguered side.
Both sides have injury concerns for this one. Justin O’Neill joins the likes of Michael Morgan and Jordan McLean on a long North Queensland casualty list, and coach Paul Green has made some tactical changes, too, moving Valentine Holmes to the wing and bringing Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow back to fullback.
The Roosters, already reeling from the season-ending ACL injuries to Victor Radley and Sam Verrills, lost Daniel Tupou to a long-term ankle injury last week, while Boyd Cordner misses out tonight with a head knock. Ryan Hall and Mitchell Aubusson replace the duo.
