North Queensland Toyota Cowboys prop Jordan McLean has been named to return from a hamstring injury to face the Newcastle Knights at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday night.
McLean’s return sees Reuben Cotter move to lock, replacing Jason Taumalolo who is set for at least a month on the sidelines due to a knee injury.
McLean has missed the previous two games after picking up a hamstring injury in the Round 5 fixture against the Bulldogs.
Coen Hess remains in the front row after reverting to the middle last weekend, with club debutant Jack Gosiewski continuing in the second row.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 7.35pm.
