Must be Barnyard Round.

The Broncos will be without versatile veteran Alex Glenn, who did not train with the team on Wednesday. Gehamat Shibasaki comes into the team in his place. Jordan McLean has been ruled out for the Cowboys with Matt Scott to join the starting side and Peter Hola to debut from the bench.

Hopefully all the fans will pay 70s entrance fee for this retro round. Well it was just a thought

Tired Cowboys forwards split by aMcCullogh break. Cowboys desperately defending. Brisbane touchdown being checked.

Turpin lost the ball in the process of not scoring!

[Graham]

Cowboys awarded a try.

There was some juggling in Clifford’s first NRL try. I thought it had touched another Cowboy arm when he juggled the ball.

Did Cowboys just get the rub of the green from the Bunker there? If so it’s a rare event!

[Graham]

Cowboys will be happier with the score given how much possession Broncos have had 

[Graham]

A match of sloppiness, errors and frustration.

Quote

Josh McGuire is set to come under scrutiny once again from the NRL’s match review committee over an alleged eye gouge on David Fifita.

The incident occurred in the first half of North Queensland’s clash with Brisbane at 1300 Smiles Stadium on Thursday night.

As Fifita lay tackled on the turf, McGuire could be seen putting his hand on the face of the young Broncos forward before he got to his feet and played the ball.
