Brad Arthur has made changes this week to help improve their attack, however their defence was also a major problem in their 41-8 drubbing from Canberra last week, conceding 10 linebreaks and conceding 597 more run metres, which was over a half of their own metres.
North Queensland looked like the top-four side that they are in the first half of their 35-22 win against the Titans on Sunday.
However, Todd Payton would not be happy with his men allowing the Titans to cross their line for three tries in 7 minutes in the second half, having a huge defensive lapse.
The Cowboys have put up impressive attacking numbers this season averaging 31.4 points per game as the only team to average over 5 tries in each match. They also lead the league in linebreaks with 6 per game.
These stats look great but can be deceiving considering they have had one of the easiest strengths of schedule to start the season, racking up wins against the Titans, Dragons, Knights and Dolphins.
