A quad injury to Enari Tuala has forced North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green into making a late change to his 17 for this afternoon’s Magic Round clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium.
Tuala is replaced in the centres by Tom Opacic, while Kurt Baptiste also moves to the starting side with Jake Granville reverting to the interchange.
Kyle Feldt will play his first game of 2019 after missing the first two months of the season with a groin injury. Feldt’s return sees Justin O’Neill move to the centres.
Josh McGuire is also out with a calf injury, with Coen Hess shifting from the interchange to the second row.
