Tigers' finals hopes faded after a collapse against North Queensland; upset chances diminished significantly.
What shaped as a potentially intriguing clash has quickly turned into a likely mismatch, with any enthusiasm for the Tigers' chances of pulling off an upset largely dissipating after a collapse against North Queensland last week all but ended their slim finals hopes.
The Tigers looked to be cruising to a comfortable lead, going up 28-16 inside the final 20 minutes, before the Cowboys stormed home to score three-straight tries and stun the Leichhardt faithful.
