Penrith Panthers vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview

The upcoming clash between Penrith Panthers and North Queensland Cowboys in Round 17 promises to be heavily influenced by State of Origin commitments, with several key players involved in Wednesday’s game. The Panthers, bolstered by their State of Origin representatives returning to the starting lineup, have maintained a strong position in second place despite Nathan Cleary’s absence. They’ve secured wins over Manly and Newcastle recently and are known for their formidable home record, having lost just five of their last 46 games at home.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys have shown inconsistency but managed to edge into the Top 8 with four wins in their last five matches. Their form includes a notable victory over Canberra but also a significant loss to the Warriors. Historically, the Panthers have dominated their recent encounters against the Cowboys, winning six of their last eight meetings.

With both teams affected by Origin commitments, the Panthers’ depth and home advantage could play a crucial role. Expect a competitive match, but the Panthers’ track record and current form suggest they have the edge in this contest.
