North Queensland Cowboys vs Penrith Panthers Preview

Two sides that are affected by Origin selections more than any others are the Cowboys and the Panthers.

We were waiting to see if Origin would switch on the previously terrible Cows and their effort in Round 14, a thrashing win over the Storm, suggested that it has.

They’ve since had the bye, and all of their stars are gone this week, so I’m not too sure what to expect.

The Panthers remain one of the NRL’s benchmark sides and made light work of the Roosters in Round 15, but boy do they lose some firepower here.

Given my lack of confidence in both sides’ ability to get it done, so I’m looking elsewhere.
