The Dolphins put the Cowboys to the sword five weeks back but Todd Payten’s team can at least keep this close as they try to save their season.

The Cowboys were utterly humiliated when they met the Dolphins just five weeks back, losing 58-4. It was a smash job that could have been significantly worse.

They can bounce back well this week though with the Dolphins significantly depleted. They have added Kulikefu Finefuiaki and Mark Nicholls to an already extensive injury list.

The Cowboys are in a reasonable spot here. They are 9-5 ATS on the road and 15-11 ATS getting a start of at least a try. They are 24-16 ATS v bottom nine teams and 14-8 ATS off conceding 12 or fewer.

The Dolphins have an ordinary record at Suncorp, covering just eight of 21 at the venue.

The Cowboys have won both meetings against the Dolphins at Suncorp and can make it three straight.

Tom Dearden will be walking on air over the run home after a stunning Origin series that saw him win the Wally Lewis Medal – in just two starts. Dearden has four tries this season and scored in this corresponding clash last season with the Phins at Suncorp. He looks value to score in a match that should have plenty of points.
