North Queensland Cowboys take on Penrith Panthers at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville this Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, North Queensland\u2019s middle fell apart last week in a big loss to New Zealand. The Cowboys big forwards are a handful to contain when rolling downhill but become a spot when forced into repeat efforts in defence.<\/p>\n

Penrith\u2019s ability to chip away at a weakness until the cracks appear is second to none and I like Nathan Cleary to replicate the Warriors gameplan here; turning players back against the grain to flood the ruck, promote fatigue into the defence and strip the edges before firing a shot.<\/p>\n

Paul Alamoti hasn\u2019t had much luck scoring at right centre this year but can cash in on the left side this week, as can Thomas Jenkins to his outside.<\/p>\n

Tips: Paul Alamoti try, Paul Alamoti \/ Thomas Jenkins 2+ combined<\/p>\n
