Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull predicted the North Queensland Cowboys’ historic NRL Grand Final on Facebook last week.

The keen sports fan took to his official Facebook page on Thursday to provide his tips for the upcoming week of grand final games, predicting the Cowboys win all the way down to that last, nail-biting point.

“In the NRL, my hot tip is to never get between two passionate groups of Queenslanders,” the prime minister wrote on Facebook.

“But Ewen Jones MP has been appointed as a whip recently and so to avoid any dangerous future whip-cracking incidents, I am picking the North Queensland Cowboys by a point.”
