THE PREDICTION
North Queensland Cowboys have made a disappointing start to the season and they will be desperate to come out on top in this Queensland derby against the Dolphins. The teams meet for the first time but the away side come into this on the back of a hugely underwhelming effort last time out against St. George Illawarra Dragons. They looked lost in that game and with the intensity that they showed in their opening three games deserting them, they look set to be outclassed by the hosts who win more than they lose on home soil.
