WHAT A STATEMENT - Cowboys too strong downing Melbourne 36-6.

Goal-line dropout for Melbourne

PENALTY COWBOYS: Chris Lewis with the ruck infringement there.

Munster loses it, it'll be a captain challenge though from Melbourne. Challenge is successful, tackle 1.

PENALTY COWBOYS: Chris Lewis strips the ball out of Jeremiah Nanai.

Murray Taulagi points to the spot and grabs his second, I wonder if they'll have a look at this, I thought Xavier Coates did enough to stop him. The ball is HELD UP and it will be NO TRY.

Try number 5 for the second half, crash play for Coen Hess and the Cowboys have another one... Bunker review for a double movement, ball is promoted. NO TRY

PENALTY COWBOYS: Felise Kaufusi with a late hit on Tom Dearden.

Forward pass to Kenny Bromwich from Harry Grant. To cap it off, he gives Grant Atkins a bake.

Cowboys knock on first according to Grant Atkins, it will be a captain's challenge. Challenge is unsuccessful.

PENALTY STORM: Murray Taulagi takes Nick Meaney high there.

Cowboys convert their set after points.

Yet another six again conceded by the Storm. This has the potential to be ugly.

This storm side is unrecognisable.

Set restart.

Dean Ieremia fails to get back into the field of play, it is a goal line dropout.

Set restart for the Cowboys.

Both sides get through their opening sets.

Off we go for the second 40. Grant Atkins blows time on.

Half-time here at QCB Stadium and North Queensland lead Melbourne by 12-6.

PENALTY COWBOYS: Shot clock violation against Melbourne

Melbourne get six more on the Cowboys line!

Been a scrappy final few minutes here.

Jesse Bromwich has passed his HIA (via FOX League)

Jason Taumalolo won't return tonight with a knee injury (via Brent Tate)

Melbourne convert their set after points, but Munster's kick was woeful and flies over the dead ball line.

PENALTY STORM: Hand on ball against the Cowboys

Munster tried to go for the one on one and was unsuccessful.

This performance so far is very un-Melbourne like, ill-disciplined and lacking direction.

Drinkwater took the mark beautifully, Cowboys coming out of yardage.

Jason Taumalolo is ok, thankfully for the Cowboys

Now Jason Taumalolo, they're dropping like flies out here.

A contest of a different kind is about to have it's conclusion. Polling booths have closed and the election count is underway.

Jesse Bromwich goes up the tunnel.

Kyle Feldt has a high grade MCL injury (via FOX). That's a big blow for Billy Slater and QLD.

Cowboys keep posession, can they hang on here Melbourne

Six again - inside 10 meters.

Six to go for the Cowboys

PENALTY COWBOYS: Brandon Smith concedes this one, holding on too long.

If there's any good news. Feldt is walking off the ground. Good test for the Hammer as far as versatility is concerned with Origin just around the corner.

Kyle Feldt in a lot of agony here. This doesn't look good WHATSOEVER

Can the Cows defend their error?

That was an incredible play, Coen Hess bats it back, it was toed through by a cowboys player and Dean Ieremia takes it dead.

Great mark from Murray Taulagi and earns his side a penalty. Marion Seve too eager to tackle the Cowboys winger.

PENALTY STORM: Scrum differential penalty, offside against the Cowboys. Grant Atkins eventually remembered it's a penalty inside the opposition 40

PENALTY COWBOYS: Justin Olam caught in the ruck for too long.

Melbourne's first attacking opportunity comes to nothing, a mix up between Smith and Grant caused a poor final tackle.

Scott Drinkwater let the kick bounce, has to play at it. He tried to get out of the in-goal but was tackled by Harry Grant.

That was a frantic play, Grant gets a good kick in, they force a good play, but unable to capitalise.

Off we go... Game 2 of Super Saturday is underway!

Grant Atkins is the referee, Wyatt Raymond and Michael Wise are the touch judges and Adam Gee is the man in the bunker for this big clash.

Super Saturday heads to Townsville as the Cowboys go head to head with the Melbourne Storm. It promises to be quite the contest here. For the home side, Reuben Cotter drops back to the bench with Coen Hess starting tonight. For the visitors, it's reshuffle central, Nick Meaney moves to fullback, Dean Ieremia shifts from the bench to wing, and Harry Grant replaces the injured Jahrome Hughes. The Cheese starts at hooker with Tui Kamikamica. Tyran Wishart is back on the bench with Chris Lewis joining the bench. Kickoff soon here on League Unlimited.
