Penrith Panthers vs Nth Queensland Cowboys Preview
The Penrith Panthers went within a sniff of winning the Premiership in 2021, and they will be eager to begin the new campaign on the right foot when the North Queensland Cowboys rolls into town on Saturday night.
They were undoubtedly the league’s benchmark for almost the entire regular season, they just ultimately lacked the September (or October) experience of the Storm in the decider.
I’m personally not confident they can replicate their 2020 heroics, but there is no doubt that this match represents a very healthy first-up prospect for them.
The Cowboys were undone by several key injuries in 2020, but they also just weren’t good enough to mix it with a lot of other sides.
While I’m tipping them to be improvers this year, though perhaps not enough to make the eight, the result of this match looks to be an open and shut case, and it’s not in their favour.
