The Raiders can just about kiss their finals hopes goodbye following another poor performance at home against the Cowboys tonight.
Needing a win to stay in touch with the top eight, the Raiders got off to a good start after Whitehead scored a controversial try.
From then on though, it was all the Cowboys as they played the percentages well and dictated terms up the middle with tough play from their forwards, led superbly by Jason Taumalolo.
Michael Morgan was superb tonight. He proved that he has what it takes to guide the Cowboys around the park minus Thurston. That is North Queensland’s second win on the trot without the great Johnathan Thurston.
