Cowboys NRLW team list: Round 3 v Broncos

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys NRLW Head Coach Ben Jeffries has named a full-strength side for Saturday’s historic inaugural home game at Queensland Country Bank Stadium against the Brisbane Broncos.

Autumn-Rain Stephens-Daly will officially make her Cowboys debut after false starts in her bid to return from a knee injury in the opening two rounds.

A Kiwi Ferns international, Stephens-Daly has been named on the wing to face the Broncos.

Former Fijiana Drua rugby star Vitalina Naikore holds her spot on the opposite wing after a stunning starting debut last weekend.

Naikore scored tries and had several other dangerous touches in an impressive display in just her second game of competitive rugby league.

China Polata reverts to the interchange after shifting from wing to prop in the victory over the Knights.

Saturday's game kicks off at 12.50pm with the NRL fixture to follow at 3pm.
