The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys under-20s team will go into Saturday’s round 6 game against defending premiers Penrith shooting for five wins on the trot.
The clash of the National Youth Competition heavyweights will see two big forward packs go head-to-head, with utility forward Tahanui Tatuvake to make his Cowboys NYC debut off the bench in place of hooker Calum Gahan.
Elsewhere, Mitch Dunn has been rewarded for a strong return from shoulder surgery with a starting spot while Cody Grills will come off the bench.
