Betting Insights

  • The North Queensland Cowboys have won three of their last five NRL matches against the Penrith Panthers (L2); they have held the Panthers to under 10 points in two of those wins in that span – Bet Here
  • The Penrith Panthers lost 6-16 to the North Queensland Cowboys in their last NRL match in New South Wales (Round 17 2024), snapping a four-game winning streak in the state; they will be looking to avoid losing back-to-back such matches for the first time since April 2016.
  • The Penrith Panthers have lost their last three NRL games in a row and will be looking to avoid a fourth straight loss in the competition for the first time since losing six in a row from Round 5 to 10 in 2019  – Bet Here
  • The Penrith Panthers have conceded at least 20 points in each of their four games this NRL season, as many times as they had across their previous 14 games in the competition; the last time they conceded 20+ points in more successive matches was a six-game term from Round 5 to 10 in 2019.
  • The North Queensland Cowboys have lost their last two NRL games outside Queensland, trailing 0-24 at half-time in both of those fixtures; though, they had won five in a row outside their home state prior to that frame – Bet Here
  • The team to score the opening try of the game has gone on to win in eight of the last nine NRL games between the Penrith Panthers and North Queensland Cowboys, including their last three consecutive meetings.
  • The North Queensland Cowboys have an 86% win rate in the NRL since the beginning of the 2024 season when they’ve scored the opening try of the game on the day, the highest rate of any team in the competition – Bet Here
  • Liam Martin (Penrith Panthers) has scored one try in each of his last two NRL games against the North Queensland Cowboys and hasn’t lost against them since his maiden meeting with the Cowboys in Round 23, 2019.
  • Isaiah Papali’i (Penrith Panthers) has never scored a try in the NRL against the North Queensland Cowboys from nine previous appearances; indeed, they are one of only four teams he’s faced more than twice that he’s never scored a try against (also Bulldogs, Titans, Storm) – Bet Here
  • Murray Taulagi (North Queensland Cowboys) has scored one try in each of his last two games in the NRL after not scoring any in his previous three; though, he’s scored only one try in his last four games against the Penrith Panthers.
