NRLW SportsBet Betting Preview - Roosters v Cowboys
The Cowboys on the other hand got the job - just - against Wests Tigers, with four from four conversions from Kirra Dibb seeing her side home, despite being outscored five tries to four.
North Queensland have been patchy this season, but have found just enough grit to scrap together four wins to sit just outside the top four, but will need to up their game considerably against the Roosters who share second spot with the Broncos.
