North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named an unchanged 17 for Saturday’s battle with the St George Illawarra Dragons at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday.
Debutant Kulikefu Finefeuiaki holds his spot on the interchange after an impressive debut in the Magic Round victory over the Sydney Roosters. Finefeuiaki ran for 51 metres and made 10 tackles in just 26 minutes during his NRL debut.
Peta Hiku has recovered from a shoulder scare suffered in the first half against the Roosters. Hiku was able to finish the game and has been named to take his place against the Dragons.
Heilum Luki continues in the second row after a successful return from a hamstring injury.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 5.30pm.
