How to watch North Queensland Cowboys vs Melbourne Storm NRL live and match preview
The Melbourne Storm will head north to face the competition's surprise packet Cowboys in a massive top 4 blockbuster.
The Melbourne Storm's 7-game winning streak was snapped last week by the reigning premiers with Penrith charging away to a 32-6 win.
Even though the Storm were missing a host of big-name players, this match will provide another strong challenge for them.
The Cowboys have won 7 of their 10 matches to sit 3rd on the table, which has been a remarkable rise for a team that finished in the bottom 2 last season.
When is Cowboys vs Storm?
This match gets underway on Saturday 21 May at 5:30pm AEST at Queensland Country Bank stadium in Townsville.

Cowboys vs Storm match preview
The Storm welcome back Jahrome Hughes for this clash but they are still missing superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen. They rarely put in 2 under par performances in a row, so their response in this match will be interesting.
The Cowboys are flying along with 5 straight wins. This is a great test to see how far they've really come this year.
Storm have won 6 in a row against the Cowboys, but most of them have been pretty tight with an average margin of just 8 points across those wins. We think this will follow a similar script with the Storm sneaking home.
