The North Queensland Cowboys face a daunting challenge as they prepare to take on the Penrith Panthers in Penrith in their bid to secure a spot in the NRL finals for the 2023 season.
The Cowboys will need to overcome this formidable opponent if they are to keep their finals hopes alive.
According to reports from penrithpanthers.com.au, the Cowboys' chances of making it to the finals will greatly improve if they can defeat the Panthers and if the South Sydney Rabbitohs lose to the Sydney Roosters.
However, even if the Rabbitohs win, the Cowboys could still have a chance if the Canberra Raiders lose to the Cronulla Sharks.
