PENRITH PANTHERS VS NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS PREDICTION
Penrith Panthers have navigated the Origin period well so far and come into this having lost just two of their last nine games in total. North Queensland Cowboys arrive here having won four of their last five so they will believe they can improve on that record but the Panthers have rarely lost at home over the past few years and they should be able to prevail once again.
