Tarantosaurus Tip: Broncos by 1-4. Nothing more.
Tarantosaurus Tip: Well. It's a great QLD contest once again, the 2015 Grand Final in my opinion was the greatest grand final that anyone has ever seen. Broncos may get the edge here, as they are hungry for a premiership and a cemented top 4 finish.
47 Games between the two, Cowboys taking out 15, Broncos 30, 2 Draws.
I am Tarantosaurus, bringing you through this Queensland festival tonight.
Well, welcome to the FINAL round of the Regular Season of the National Rugby League. A sad occasion for half the league, but better for the finalists.
Tonight we have the 2015 Grand Final rematch happening, at a vital moment of the season
