One winning streak has to end when the Brisbane Broncos host the North Queensland Cowboys at Suncorp Stadium this Friday in Round 6 of the NRL.<\/p>\n
Both teams come into this clash having won three straight after dropping their opening two matches of the season.<\/p>\n
The Broncos ground out a gritty win over the Titans last week, while the Cowboys produced a dominant 32-0 shutout of the Dragons.<\/p>\n
The big story here is Brisbane\u2019s injury list, with much of their spine sidelined.<\/p>\n
The Broncos have won their last six against North Queensland, but this looks like the spot where that streak ends.<\/p>\n
Reece Walsh and Ben Hunt are out, while Adam Reynolds is battling a groin issue and is far from 100%.<\/p>\n
With the Cowboys playing confident footy and Brisbane missing key pieces, there\u2019s value in the upset.<\/p>\n
Four of Brisbane\u2019s matches have gone under this line this season, with North Queensland seeing the same result in three games.<\/p>\n
The Broncos\u2019 attack is weakened, but their defence has held firm, conceding no more than 14 points since Round 2.<\/p>\n
Expect a tight, low-scoring contest.<\/p>\n
Staggs has an outstanding record against the Cowboys, scoring 11 tries in his last 12 games against them.<\/p>\n
He also delivered for us recently with a double against the Dolphins, returning $5.50.<\/p>\n
With five tries already this season, he remains a constant threat even if Brisbane are under pressure.<\/p>\n
