NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS v SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
Souths arrive in Townsville without the COVID banished Wayne Bennett, but assistant coach Jason Demetriou won a Queensland Cup title with the Northern Pride in Cairns, so is no stranger to winning in North Queensland. The Cowboys are getting some key players back, but it’s probably way too late in the season.
