The North Queensland Cowboys and the Dolphins are set to face off at the Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Round 15 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season.

After Round 3, the Cowboys were shackled to the bottom of the ladder after three consecutive losses. However, in a time of worry, Todd Payten's side demonstrated tenacity by winning four games before falling to the Warriors again. Before falling to the Sea Eagles in Round 10, they staged an astounding 12-point comeback against the Panthers, resulting in a 30-30 draw. Following a win over the Wests Tigers and a loss to the Storm last weekend, they are presently sixth on the ladder.

The Dolphins had a dismal start to the home-and-away season, losing their first four games until picking up their first win in Round 5 against the Gold Coast Titans. They managed to win two consecutive games before dropping three of their remaining four. They are now sixth on the NRL standings, having hammered the Bulldogs and Dragons in the last two weeks.
