Who wins this one?

Welcome footy fans

Welcome to the Friday evening game of Indigenous Round from Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville – home of the Wulgurukaba peoples.

It’s huge clash for the North Queensland Cowboys and Wests Tigers. Both sides are desperate to find some form - the Cowboys beat the Rabbitohs last weekend but had lost their previous five games. While the Tigers are on a seven game losing streak.

With the NSW and Queensland squads for Origin I to be announced at the completion of this round, this is the last chance for players to impress. Tonight, keep an eye on the battle between North Queensland’s Reece Robson and the Tigers’ Api Koroisau, who are battling it out for the Blues’ hooker spot.
