North Queensland Cowboys Form Analysis
Cowboys can't put a foot wrong at the moment. Round 8 they smashed Cronulla 46-34 at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, high-scoring win but defence good enough to win. Before that, pinched a 35-31 road upset at Brisbane against the Broncos, gutsy performance away. And they backed it up with 28-24 over Melbourne at home, another tight one but took their chances. Three on the trot, beating quality opposition including top-4 contenders. Run metres strong, linebreaks coming, that's a side hitting peak form heading into Sydney.
