Cowboys team list: Round 20 v Dragons

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named an unchanged 17 for Sunday’s battle with the St George Illawarra Dragons at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

Queensland State of Origin star Reuben Cotter has been included in the reserves as he closes in on a return from a hamstring injury suffered in the warm up prior to the Round 15 fixture with Manly.

Cotter will train with the NRL squad tomorrow and be monitored through the week before a final decision is made on his availability for the Dragons clash.

Jordan McLean remains at least a week away as he continues to rehab a hamstring injury sustained in NSW State of Origin camp.

Sunday’s game kicks off at 4.05pm.
