The Warriors in 4th, cross the ditch to play The Cowboys in 6th. The Cowboys having won their last four, including a thumping of the Titans last week, 50-18.
Robert Derby’s hat-trick (also had four line breaks), Jeremiah Nanai’s pair, and Reece Robson’s game-high 51 tackles being the highlights. Despite the Cowboys only having a completion rate of 76% to the Titans’ 86%, superiority in post contact metres and line breaks (13-4), kick returns (244 m vs 94 m) and tackle breaks (48-18) delivered a very dominant victory.
The Cowboys will be unchanged to take on the Warriors, who will be without Ali Leiataua, after he injured his ankle in a training session on Thursday. Adam Pompey comes into the centres and Edward Kosi goes onto the left wing. Te-Maire Martin joins the Interchange.
Their run to fourth place on the ladder appears to be less impressive than the current form of the Cowboys. Last week’s win against the struggling Knights included the Warriors losing the second half. Their narrow win against the Broncos in New Zealand, after losing heavily on the road to the Storm, and winning two arm wrestles against the Roosters and away to Wests Tigers, whilst many are saying this is one of the matches of the round, the Cowboys look to be favourites.
