North Queensland Toyota Cowboys forward Jamayne Taunoa-Brown has been ruled out of Saturday’s Indigenous Round clash with the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval due to concussion.
Taunoa-Brown failed a game-day HIA after coming from the field in the victory over the Dragons and is now subject to the 11-day mandatory concussion stand down.
Riley Price has been named on the interchange to replace Taunoa-Brown in the only change to Todd Payten’s 17.
New arrival Sam McIntyre has been named in the reserves as has PNG International Sylvester Namo, who is now eligible for NRL selection.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 5.30pm.
