North Queensland Toyota Cowboys second rowers Gavin Cooper and Coen Hess have retained their spots in Kevin Walters's Queensland side for the final game of the State of Origin series to be played at Suncorp Stadium next Wednesday.
The selection caps off a memorable week for Cooper who became just the seventh Cowboy to appear in 200 games for the club when he ran on against South Sydney in Cairns on Sunday afternoon.
Cooper celebrated the milestone with a trademark try courtesy of some Johnathan Thurston magic and chipped in 35 tackles, which was the second most of any Cowboys player.
The 32-year-old will again line-up in the second row for Walters.
Hess has been named to make his fifth appearance for Queensland and will again come from the interchange.
Queensland will be without captain Greg Inglis (broken thumb) and utility Kalyn Ponga (hamstring) due to injury.
Billy Slater takes over the captaincy in his final representative match for the Maroons, who will field a new-look backline and starting forward pack.
Cherry-Evans is the new halfback with Ben Hunt moving to the interchange bench. Oates comes in on the wing with Dane Gagai moving to centre for the injured Inglis.
