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

Co-captain Matt Scott will take his place in the side after overcoming a knee complaint suffered in the second half of last weekend's encounter with South Sydney.

Michael Morgan continues his tenure at fullback, which began with a late change by Green before the Rabbitohs clash.

Morgan's move to fullback coincided with one of his best performances of the season, with the Queensland State of Origin hopeful providing the final pass for both of the Cowboys' tries against South Sydney.

Te Maire Martin will again partner Johnathan Thurston in the halves after a successful move back to the starting side last weekend.

Young gun Enari Tuala and skilful front-rower Francis Molo retain their spots on the interchange after both impressing during their NRL season debuts in Round 11.

Tuala and Molo are joined on the bench by forwards Shaun Fensom and Corey Jensen.

Tonight's game kicks off at 7.50pm.
