A hard-fought, low-scoring tussle is expected to kick off Round 22 when the Cowboys host the Roosters in Townsville.

Night games have been going under at an insane clip, the under hitting at 70.4% this season. The under is on a 25-3 run in night games.

Both of these teams are in a strong under spot.

The under hits at 58% when home underdogs are off a win while the under has hit in four straight Cowboys home games.

The under is 32-23 when the Roosters are off a win and 6-1 when they play a Top 8 opponent.

Three of the last four have finished 34 or fewer and another low scoring game is on the cards.

North Queensland have covered six of their last nine at home with a 4-1 cover record as a home underdog. They have won three of their last four against the Roosters.

Braidon Burns is a thoroughly professional finisher who has 24 tries in 32 games as a Cowboy.

Hugo Savala is back to the centres, where he has six tries in 10 games.

Jake Clifford would make a pretty fair claim to be the most underrated and undervalued tryscoring bet in the NRL and can be bet each week with confidence given the price he usually goes around. He has seven tries in 18 games this year and now has 12 in 32 across the last two seasons. He has two tries in eight games against the Roosters.
