Sydney Roosters vs North Queensland Cowboys prediction
Whilst North Queensland Cowboys are in a good place as far as the NRL table goes, Sydney Roosters are in prime position to push for that top spot and on the back of six consecutive wins which has seen them rack up over 30 points in five of those games, it’s hard to see this Roosters squad being stopped right now.
Head coach Trent Robinson boasts such an impressive offensive and this Cowboys defence could be worn out early on by the speed and finesse of their opponents, not to mention the power. Momentum is firmly with Sydney Roosters and any outcome other than victory for them would be a surprise.
