North Queensland Cowboys beat South Sydney Rabbitohs

North Queensland Cowboys beat South Sydney Rabbitohs 20-0

The Rabbitohs rarely fired a shot at the defending premiers in front of a strong crowd at Barlow Park in Cairns, who instead watched Cowboys skipper Johnathan Thurston put on a signature clinic.

The Queensland State of Origin star scored a try and had a hand in another, helping the visitors consolidate their spot in the top four before getting a well-deserved early mark in the 75th minute.
