Former Murgon Mustang Gavin Cooper helped North Queensland eliminate the Brisbane Broncos from the 2014 NRL Premiership race on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys’ backrower helped North Queensland gallop away to a 24-0 lead at half-time.<\/p>\n

Cooper opened NQ’s account in the ninth minute and then added the icing to the cake when he scored again with two minutes left in the first half.<\/p>\n

The Broncos fought back in the second but it wasn’t enough to save their season.<\/p>\n

The final score was North Queensland 32, Brisbane Broncos 20.<\/p>\n

NQ will now face the Sydney Roosters this weekend with the winner to play Penrith the following week for a place in the Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Cooper joined the Cowboys in 2006 after two years at the Gold Coast and two years at Penrith.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former Kingaroy Red Ant Matt Ballin is battling injury to return to the ranks of the Manly Sea-Eagles.

\nManly faces a do-or-die semi-final against the Canterbury Bulldogs this weekend.<\/p>\n

If they’re successful, reports suggest Ballin may be fit enough return to Manly for the following week’s Preliminary Final against South Sydney.<\/p>\n

Ballin broke his leg playing against Penrith on August 31.<\/p>\n
