The Brisbane Broncos will travel north to Townsville on Friday night for a clash with arch rivals and premiers North Queensland.

The clash will mark Cowboys skipper Johnathon Thurston’s 250th match for the Cowboys and is sure to be another thriller with the last two meetings between the clubs being decided by golden point extra time.

Thurston (pictured) says after going down to the Storm by the narrowest of margins on the weekend, his side is looking forward to getting back on the winning side of the ledger in front of a massive home town crowd.
