North Queensland Cowboys v Melbourne Storm
Potentially the biggest game of the round, the premiers are up against the team Cowboys fans will argue should have met them in the grand final. The Cowboys were extremely unlucky not to reach the finals last year and at home this week they have their chance at revenge.
With an in-form Matt Bowen and the recently re-signed Johnathan Thurston the Cowboys are the biggest threat to the Melbourne Storm’s bid to reach back to back premierships. Both teams are coming off good wins last week but only one can walk away with the points this round.
Bellamy complained about the hot weather hurting the Storms training and playing at Dairy Farmer Stadium won’t help that at all.
Prediction: North Queensland by 2
