Cowboys team list: Round 25 v Panthers

Griffin Neame has been recalled to replace suspended prop Coen Hess for Saturday’s blockbuster showdown with Minor Premiers Penrith at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Neame has been named on the interchange with Reuben Cotter elevated to the starting side.

Tom Dearden is a chance of returning from injury after being included in the reserves. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has been named at five-eighth with Scott Drinkwater returning to the No.1 jersey.

Jake Granville remains on the interchange after his recall against the Rabbitohs.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 7.35pm.
