Live: Legend's first try in four years puts Cowboys on top
Jason Taumalolo has ended a four year try-scoring drought to help North Queensland start fast against Gold Coast. Follow live.
North Queensland bounced back from their previous loss to the Sydney Roosters to extend their winning streak to 12 matches, defeating the Gold Coast Titans 30-8 at Robina. Jaxon Purdue, who had been sin-binned in the previous game, led the charge in the second half, scoring a spectacular 70-meter try to put the Cowboys ahead 24-8.
Veteran prop Heilum Luki capitalized on a lapse in defense to score his second try, securing the crucial win for the team. Despite the Titans' efforts, they failed to capitalize on their chances, and the Cowboys held on to secure their place in the top eight of the NRL.
