Canterbury Bulldogs vs North Queensland Cowboys prediction
Canterbury Bulldogs will look to make the most of home field advantage here, with them having lost their last two on the road. However, if they can replicate what we saw from them at home to Penrith Panthers, then a long 80 minutes could be in store for North Queensland Cowboys. But this is a side with wins in five of their last six and firing on all fronts right now.
Everything is going the Cowboys’ way on the field and they are playing excellently. That offensive is something to behold and should be afforded more joy here by Canterbury. With all the momentum with them right now, the Cowboys are well worth backing to make it six from seven.
