North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named an unchanged side for Saturday’s showdown with the Newcastle Knights at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow continues his return from a knee injury through the interchange. The 20-year-old made a triumphant try-scoring return in the victory over the Eels in a 15-minute cameo.
Reuben Cotter again starts in the front-row after his heroic 80-minute performance in Darwin. The Sarina Crocodiles junior made 54 tackles without a miss against the Eels, while also running for 137 metres from 16 carries.
Tom Gilbert starts in the second row with Heilum Luki reverting to the bench.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 7.35pm
