North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green has made one change to his 21-man squad for Saturday's clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at 1300SMILES Stadium with young gun Enari Tuala earning a promotion.
Tuala has been in scintillating form for the Northern Pride in the Queensland Cup, scoring four tries in his previous two appearances, including a hat trick against Redcliffe last weekend.
The 19-year-old replaces forward Sam Hoare on the extended bench.
Lock Jason Taumalolo has been named despite reaggravating an old ankle injury in Round 10 against the Wests Tigers and is set to celebrate his 150th NRL/Cowboys appearance on Saturday evening, becoming just the 14th player in club history to reach the milestone.
If he takes the field, Taumalolo will join a prestigious club which includes current teammates Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott and Gavin Cooper as well as Cowboys legends Aaron Payne and Paul Bowman.
Saturday's game kicks off at 5.30pm.
