The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys have made their first lineup change since week 2 of the 2015 finals series ahead of Saturday’s round 5 clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons at 1300SMILES Stadium.
With left centre Kane Linnett injuring his shoulder during Friday’s epic 21-20 loss to the Broncos in Brisbane, Javid Bowen, 22, is set to make his NRL debut.
Head coach Paul Green has used the same 17 players in seven-straight NRL games, plus February’s World Club Challenge triumph against Leeds Rhinos in England.
Gates open at 4pm for Saturday's game – tickets at cowboys.com.au/tickets.
