North Queensland Toyota Cowboys superstar Jason Taumalolo will make his return from injury in tonight’s clash with the Gold Coast Titans at 1300SMILES Stadium.
Taumalolo has been on the sidelines since picking up a knee injury in Round 2 against Brisbane, but makes his comeback after missing just five games.
The 25-year-old comes into the side for Jake Clifford, who will serve as 18th man.
Centre Tom Opacic also returns for his first game since Round 2 after a series of strong performances for the Townsville Blackhawks in the Queensland Cup.
With Te Maire Martin sidelined indefinitely with a serious head injury, Jordan Kahu will man the No.1 jersey for the first time since the Brisbane clash.
Tonight’s game kicks off at 6pm.
