The North Queensland Cowboys premiership defence is on the line this week when they take on the Broncos in Townsville on Friday night.
The Cowboys loss to the Storm means the hoped for Grand Final replay will now occur a week early in the 1st semi final with the winner to move onto a preliminary final clash with Cronulla.
Cowboys skipper JohnathonThurston (pictured) says he’s excited to be taking on many of his Queensland and Australian teammates in the Broncos side.
