The Parramatta Eels and North Queensland Cowboys meet in Darwin for Round 8 of the NRL season. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:35pm AEST.
Parramatta are fine frontrunners – they’ve won their past 16 games when leading at the break. The last time they were run down was in their 2020 semi-final loss to Souths when they leaked 30 points in the second stanza as they watched an 18-8 half-time advantage turn into a 38-24 loss. It can’t be understated that the start to this one is crucial.
Dylan Brown remains in the centres after the five-eighth excelled there during the big win over Newcastle.
North Queensland have found their defensive intensity after being woeful last year when they coughed up a league-worst 31.2 points per game, nearly triple that of premiers Penrith (11.6). Only the Panthers (12) are better than their 13.3 average in 2022 and they rank first when it comes to the fewest ineffective tackles per game (9.9).
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has been named on the extended reserves and could be a late inclusion.
Kick-off: 7:35pm AEST
Venue: TIO Stadium, Darwin
TV/Stream: Kayo Sports, Foxtel
