We're off to New Zealand for the second game of the triple header tonight featuring the Warriors against Cowboys. The Warriors have fallen sharply since they sat in the top four halfway through the season, and now, without Johnson have fallen in a heap and are closer to the spoon than finals - can the injection of young half Lino help them against the Cowboys?
For North Queensland, it has been a stuttering last few weeks and they need to get back on track, to secure top four after losses to the Sharks and Rabbitohs. Johnathan Thurston would be eyeing another Dally M medal and could go a long way to that with another virtuoso performance tonight. Join us at 5:30pm AEST (7:30PM Local) for kick-off.
