One of rugby league’s fiercest and most fascinating rivalries resumes at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night when the Brisbane Broncos host the North Queensland Cowboys.
2016 semi-final… Cowboys 26 def. Broncos 20 at Dairy Farmers Stadium
And that’s exactly where we found ourselves after a stunning second half in which the Cowboys came from eight down to lead by six thanks to a Justin O’Neill double and Johnathan Thurston penalty goal, only for a long-range Corey Oates try to level it up at 20-20 after 80 minutes. Apart from Thurston, who had overcome a stomach bug to lead his men to victory, the Cowboys had many heroes, including a 20-year-old Coen Hess, who ran for 191 metres and made 30 tackles, and rookie winger Kalyn Ponga, serving notice of big things to come in a composed display on debut.
A try to Milford and four goals to Corey Parker gave the home side a 12-6 half-time and the goal-kicking back-rower extended the margin to eight with a penalty goal in the 47th minute.
