Cowboys team list: Round 19 v Storm
Towering 21-year-old outside back Kane Bradley is set to become Cowboy No.296 on Friday night after being named to make his NRL debut against the Melbourne Storm at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Bradley joined the Cowboys from the Wests Tigers in January and despite limited on-field appearances due to injury and the COVID-19 pandemic, the 196cm giant has impressed Cowboys coaching staff.

He will make his debut on the wing, with Murray Taulagi moving to centre to replace the injured Javid Bowen. Bowen has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
The only other change to the 17 which faced the Roosters on Saturday is on the interchange, with Heilum Luki replacing Peter Hola.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow remains at fullback after a brilliant performance in his first game in the position this season.
Luki is joined on the interchange by Tom Gilbert, Coen Hess and Jake Granville.
Friday’s game kicks off at 7.55pm
