North Queensland are an incredible bet at home when they host a guileless Cronulla side on Saturday afternoon.

Cowboys -1.5

North Queensland are a complete chips-in job against an overrated and weak-willed Cronulla team who have done nothing against a team that matters in a spot that matters.

The Sharks have enough talent to compete with the big two but are so poorly coached and have so little capability of handling adversity that they were lucky in the end to make the final.

The only team Cronulla beat that finished higher than them on the table was Newcastle and they were dead and buried that game until a last 10 minutes collapse by the Knights.

The other huge knock on the Sharks is that they have struggled in late timeslots, going 1-5 in games starting after 4pm. Their one win was an awful 20-16 win over the Tigers.

Very keen on the Cowboys in this one.

Kira Dibb is one of the most underrated players in the competition an though she doesn’t score a lot of tries she has two this year. She is running the ball a lot more this year. The Sharks have ordinary halves so this looks a nice bet.
