The Cowboys have secured a home final and the prime-time Saturday game is expected to generate millions for the Queensland economy.
A home final for the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville is estimated to be worth $8 million to the local economy.The Cowboys say they'll need to play to a new standard and mitigate the attacking prowess of Kalyn Ponga.
It's the kind of community pride that converted their mum, former Broncos tragic, Katie Peacock-Fisher into a Cowboys fan. Townsville Enterprise director of visitor economy, Lisa Woolfe, expects the elimination game will generate more than a regular season match. "30 per cent of our people who come to the game travel the 'country hour' so a 100-kilometre radius, but 10 per cent travel 400 kilometres or more," Jeff Reibel said.This elimination game will be the second home final that the Cowboys have hosted at their Townsville CBD stadium since the footy ground opened in 2020.
