NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS VS PARRAMATTA EELS – FRIDAY 23 SEPTEMBER, 7.50PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM
The Eels head north to face a Cowboys side out to continue their fairytale run in 2022, which has seen them jump from 15th place last year to now be one win away from the Grand Final.
North Queensland will be playing a finals match at Queensland Country Bank Stadium for the first time since it was opened in 2020, and should be refreshed from the week off they earned by beating the Sharks in golden point back in Finals Week 1.
North Queensland took out both the clubs’ previous finals clashes as underdogs – a stunning 29-0 boilover against the minor premiership-winning Eels in 2005 and a 24-16 result in the 2017 semi-final as the Cowboys surged to the grand final from eighth.
Scott Drinkwater was on fire as the Cowboys thrashed the Eels 35-4 in Darwin in Round 8, with Kyle Feldt (who has scored 10 tries in his last seven games against the Eels) grabbing a hat-trick. The Cowboys have won seven of their last eight against the Eels in Townsville.
The Cowboys have won eight of their last nine at home and have conceded just 14 points per game at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in 2022.
This is just the Eels’ second match outside Sydney since Round 12.
- 2 units ($200) Cowboys -4 @ $1.91
- 2 units ($200) Over 42.5 match points @ $1.90
- 1 unit ($100) Townsend anytime try scorer @ $7.50

Penrith has won eight of its last nine against Souths. The Rabbitohs’ sole win during that period was a significant one – a 16-10 upset in last year’s qualifying final.
The Panthers took out the initial grand final rematch 26-12 in Round 4 with Issah Yeo and Dylan Edwards prominent.
- 3 units ($300) Panthers -9.5 @ $1.85
