North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green has confirmed his side will line up 1-17 for tonight's clash with the Canberra Raiders at 1300SMILES Stadium.

Fan favourite Shaun Fensom returns for his first game since breaking his leg in the opening exchanges of last season's grand final.

Fensom, who will face his old club for the second time since joining the Cowboys early in 2017, made his comeback through the Queensland Cup last weekend with the Townsville Blackhawks.

The 29-year-old comes into Green's side as a direct replacement for John Asiata who suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the Round 7 victory over the Titans.

Forward Francis Molo and outside back Enari Tuala are the final two players to drop out of the 21-man squad named by Green on Tuesday.

Tonight's game kicks off at 7.30pm.
