The final game of Round 12 has been heavily impacted by Origin but is still one of the more enticing affairs of the weekend.

North Queensland have Tom Dearden and Murray Taulagi missing through injury while Reuben Cotter is on Origin duty. Souths have Latrell Mitchell hurt while Cam Murray will be playing for NSW.

Look for this to be an open affair.

Both rank Top 8 in scoring with the Cowboys topping 28 in seven of their last nine while Souths have scored 30-plus in six of their last seven.

The over is 23-8 in the last 31 day games.

It hits at 63% when the Cowboys are off a win while it is 9-4 when they are off conceding 12 or fewer. The over is 15-11 when Souths play interstate.

A high-scoring affair looks to be on the cards in this one.

Latrell Mitchell’s misfortune is the good luck of boom youngster Latrell Siegwalt, who will start at left centre this week and benefit from South Sydney’s favouritism of going left in attack. Siegwalt did not score in his debut but has 16 tries in 45 games in Queensland/NSW Cup so can find his way to the tryline.
