Our best bet for Thursday’s NRL Round 22 clash between the North Queensland Cowboys and Sydney Roosters is the Cowboys +5.5 \/ Under 48.5 \/ Nawaqanitawase to Score Same Game Multi at $6.00, with the Cowboys one of just five sides to beat the Roosters this year and nine of Sydney’s last ten games falling under 48.5 points.<\/p>\n

Two teams at opposing ends of the eight clash to open Round 22 of the NRL this Thursday, with the Cowboys taking on the Roosters in Townsville.<\/p>\n

North Queensland Cowboys vs Sydney Roosters<\/h2>\n

The Roosters edged their way into second place after netting their fifth-straight win last round.<\/p>\n

Big picture, they’ve found a way to win without being convincing. Tight victories over the Knights and Storm most recently, with underwhelming showings against the Eels and Broncos before that.<\/p>\n

For the Cowboys, they’ve been hot and cold. A searing performance to upset the Panthers was followed up by a tight win over the Sea Eagles then a big loss to the Dolphins. Last week, they got past Brisbane 18-10.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Cowboys +5.5<\/h3>\n

North Queensland are one of just five sides to beat the Roosters this year, pipping them 18-12 back in mid-May.<\/p>\n

They’ve also been strong in Townsville, winning six of nine there this season.<\/p>\n

While second-placed Sydney should have just enough to get over the line here, expect the hosts to cover the spread.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Under 48.5 Points Total<\/h3>\n

Nine of the last ten games the Roosters have been involved in have fallen under 48.5 points total, including their last five straight.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are a little more mercurial, but have still had three matches under 48.5 in their last four.<\/p>\n

A tight, grinding contest is the most likely outcome on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Mark Nawaqanitawase to Score<\/h3>\n

Nawaqanitawase is unlucky to have not crossed over since Round 16, considering he began the season scoring 12 tries from his first 10 matches.<\/p>\n

He’s too good a player to stay off the scoreboard for much longer, and should add to his tally in this fixture.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Cowboys +5.5 \/ Under 48.5 \/ Nawaqanitawase to Score = $6.00 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

This time last month, the Cowboys beat the table-topping Panthers by 14 points.<\/p>\n

Conversely, of the Roosters’ five losses in 2026, four have been by 13+.<\/p>\n

There’s value in tipping the home side to win by a blowout, even if immediate form isn’t pointing that direction.<\/p>\n
