Sydney Roosters vs North Queensland Cowboys 7/9/20 NRL Pick, Prediction, and Odds

NRL round 9 action gets under way on Thursday with the Sydney Roosters heading to North Queensland to take on the Cowboys at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Round 8 saw one of the games of the season thus far when the Sydney Rooster took on the Melbourne Storm. With 10mins left to play the Roosters held a 10-point lead that quickly evaporated with the Storm running in two quick tries to Jerome Hughes and Pat Momirovski. Trailing by 2 Half Kyle Flanagan kicked the equalizing penalty with under two mins left and Keary kicked what looked to be the match winning field goal with less than a minute remaining before it was stolen right under their feet by some brilliant Storm play.

The North Queensland Cowboys got rocked in their last outing, a 42-4 defeat against heavyweights the Parramatta Eels. Eels winger Sivo destroyed the Cowboys Right hand side defence crossing for 4 relatively easy tries. This will no doubt be a big focus for the Cowboys heading into this contest. Josh McGuire got through a lot of work in the middle with a game high 59 tackles while Jason Taumalolo led the team in run metres with 167.
