How this game shapes up

North Queensland’s defensive issues have been a major concern to start the season, conceding 72 points across their first two games.

They were dominated last week by the Tigers, allowing big yardage, multiple linebreaks and struggling to control possession.

The Titans have also had defensive issues but showed improvement last week, holding the Dolphins to 18 points and displaying better structure.

With both teams capable of scoring but struggling defensively, this shapes as a game with high variance and plenty of attacking opportunities.

Best Bets

Titans +5.5

With the range of outcomes in this matchup, taking the points with the underdog provides value. The Titans have shown enough improvement to stay competitive.

Beau Fermor Anytime Tryscorer

Fermor has a strong record against North Queensland and comes into a matchup where the Cowboys have already conceded tries to backrowers. He is well placed to capitalise on defensive gaps.

What could go wrong?

The Cowboys still have a strong forward pack and can generate momentum through the middle.

If they control possession and limit errors, they could dominate territory and push this game out of reach.
