Get ready for some footy action as the North Queensland Cowboys gear up to take on the Penrith Panthers down in Sydney this Sunday arvo.
Coach Todd Payten has decided to give his six State of Origin stars a breather, allowing them to recharge their batteries after a grueling series.
It's been a long time coming for these boys, who missed out on the team's first bye week due to their representative commitments.
When it comes to facing the Panthers, the Cowboys have held their own in recent years.
They've gone head to head with the reigning Premiers four times, with two wins each under their belt.
Although the Panthers came out on top in their last encounter earlier this season, the Cowboys are looking to turn the tables.
It's been a while since they last tasted victory at Penrith back in 2016, but they're ready to give it their all on the field.
So get your green and gold gear on, grab a cold one, and get ready to cheer on the boys as they tackle the Panthers in what promises to be an epic showdown.
Let's show them what the Cowboys are made of!
