The bye\u00a0gifted\u00a0North Queensland a chance to recover from a shock loss to Parramatta\u00a0and also\u00a0bought Tom Dearden more time to return for the finals. They need to get there first though, and a blow-out win against Wests could be exactly what the Cowboys need to springboard themselves into September.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their sweeping attack through Scott Drinkwater profiles nicely against either Tigers edge that has been stripped apart for the best part of the regular season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Barring last week\u2019s\u00a0boilover, Wests\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have the pack to play the long game and promote fatigue into these big Cowboys forwards. If\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0how it plays out, we should see closer to the best version of North Queensland with the ball in hand late in each half.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
