THE PREDICTION
North Queensland Cowboys fell to their first defeat in four matches with Sydney Roosters proving to be too good for them last week. The Cowboys will not be too deterred by that loss but need to produce a response here as they aim to build some momentum ahead of the finals. New Zealand Warriors produced an impressive display last week to dispatch Canterbury Bulldogs in convincing fashion but they have not won outside of New Zealand since April and it is hard to see them ending that run here with the Cowboys able to claim a comfortable victory of at least 18 points.
