The Cowboys secured a comfortable 42:28 win against the Knights in their regular-season clash on October 10, 2026. It was a decisive result for the hosts, who had been building momentum through a series of strong performances recently. To be fair, the Knights did not look like they could keep up with the pace set by their opponents from the outset. By then, the Cowboys were already weighing up a move to extend their lead further.
The home side came into this fixture on the back of four consecutive wins, including a dominant 59:0 victory over the Raiders. They had also managed to hold on grimly against tougher competition, such as the narrow 39:31 win over the Ducks. The Knights, meanwhile, were trying to find consistency after a mixed bag of results. They had suffered a loss to the Cougars in their most recent outing and were looking to bounce back against a familiar rival.
It was not a surprise to see the Cowboys camp in the final third and put the game to bed early. The Knights struggled to contain the offensive flow, and the scoreline reflected a one-sided affair after the first quarter. The visitors managed to score a few points, but they could not match the output of the hosts who ended a barren spell with their latest success. The Cowboys used their experience to control the tempo, letting the game flow in their favour.
What this result means is that the Cowboys continue to hold the tie in their own hands as the season progresses. The Knights, however, face a tougher challenge to climb the standings after dropping another match. The gap in points between the two sides is widening, and the Cowboys are clearly the stronger unit at this stage of the year. The Knights will need to improve quickly if they want to stay competitive.
