THE TEAM NEWS

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS

  • North Queensland Cowboys’ perfect start to the season was ended in their clash with Brisbane Broncos as they produced comfortably their worst effort to date.
  • The Cowboys never got going and were second best throughout but head coach Todd Payten has not panicked and has opted to retain the same 17.

Starting 13: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Valentine Holmes 4. Zac Laybutt 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Tom Dearden 7. Chad Townsend 8. Jordan McLean 9. Reece Robson 10. Jason Taumalolo 11. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 12. Jeremiah Nanai 13. Reuben Cotter Bench: 14. Jake Granville 15. Griffin Neame 16. Sam McIntyre 17. Jack Gosiewski Reserves: 18. Tomas Chester 19. Thomas Mikaele 20. Semi Valemei 21. Marly Bitungane 22. Jake Clifford

GOLD COAST TITANS

  • Gold Coast Titans remain without a win in 2024 after they went down to the Dolphins last week to make it three losses in succession to begin the new season.
  • Things are not going to plan for new head coach Des Hasler and he has opted to make some changes here with Jojo Fifita and Harley Smith-Shields coming into the side on the wings.

Starting 13: 1. Jayden Campbell 2. Harley Smith-Shields 3. Brian Kelly 4. AJ Brimson 5. Jojo Fifita 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Chris Randall 10. Jaimin Jolliffe 11. Klese Haas 12. Beau Fermor 13. Erin Clark Bench: 14. Sam Verrills 15. David Fifita 16. Joe Stimson 17. Josiah Pahulu Reserves: 18. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui 19. Tony Francis 20. Thomas Weaver 21. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 22. Jacob Alick

THE PREDICTION

North Queensland Cowboys were poor against Brisbane Broncos last week but a return to home soil can help them bounce back. Gold Coast Titans are the visitors in this all-Queensland affair and the away side are yet to win this season. They are lacking quality and do not look like they have enough about them to post the points to cause the Cowboys problems, nor keep them out at the other end of the pitch, so side with the hosts to immediately return to winning ways.

TIP: NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS -12
