Brisbane had begun to find rhythm after a slow start to the season, winning three consecutive matches and tightening up defensively. However, their momentum has been significantly disrupted by the loss of key players, most notably Reece Walsh and Ben Hunt. These absences remove a large portion of their attacking creativity and experience, placing added pressure on the remaining spine.
With Walsh unavailable, Brisbane lose their primary attacking spark at the back, while the absence of Hunt further reduces their ability to control games and execute under pressure. Adam Reynolds is expected to take on more responsibility, but concerns around his fitness only add to the uncertainty.
In contrast, North Queensland have built strong momentum in recent weeks. After an inconsistent start, they have now won three consecutive matches, showing improvement in both attack and defence. Their halves pairing of Tom Dearden and Jake Clifford has begun to settle, providing greater structure and direction.
Clifford, in particular, has been influential, contributing across multiple attacking metrics, while Dearden continues to control the tempo of the game. This balance has allowed the Cowboys to generate consistent scoring opportunities and convert field position into points.
The matchup at fullback also presents a potential edge. Scott Drinkwater’s form has been trending upward and he remains heavily involved in North Queensland’s attacking movements. Against a reshuffled Broncos spine, his impact could be significant.
While Brisbane’s recent defensive improvements are notable, the loss of key personnel may expose them, particularly if the Cowboys can apply sustained pressure and capitalise on their opportunities inside the attacking zone.
Best Bet
North Queensland Cowboys Win
With Brisbane missing key players, North Queensland’s form and stability give them a strong chance to secure an upset.
Value Bet
North Queensland Cowboys Over 22.5 Team Points
The Cowboys have been scoring consistently and should generate enough opportunities to exceed this total.
Player Prop
Scott Drinkwater Anytime Tryscorer
Drinkwater remains a central attacking threat and is well placed to cross the line again.
What could go wrong?
If Brisbane’s defence holds firm and their remaining playmakers step up to control the game, the Broncos could grind out a result at home despite their injuries.
