The Warriors have rebounded well from two opening losses to defeat the Tigers and Broncos in successive weeks and have started to find some rhythm in attack and steel in defence.

Nathan Brown’s men conceded just two tries in round three and one in round four and it’s that sort of defensive focus they will need to call on to subdue the likes of Val Holmes, Tom Dearden and Jason Taumalolo.

Their attack looked more threatening with Shaun Johnson back in the No.7 and Chanel Harris-Tavita finding his feet at five-eighth.

The Cowboys were outclassed by the Roosters in Townsville but still sit fifth on the ladder with a 2-2 record and a solid points differential.
