Cowboys team list: Round 10 v Titans
North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named an almost unchanged 22-man squad for Sunday’s XXXX Derby against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium.
New recruit Braidon Burns has been brought in to the squad in the reserves as cover for the outside backs, with Murray Taulagi and Tom Chester remaining sidelined.
Viliami Vailea retains his spot in the centres after an encouraging Cowboys debut last weekend.
Halfback Chad Townsend has been named after missing The Dolphins clash with a knee injury, although Townsend will need to complete the week of training to be cleared for selection on Sunday.
Heilum Luki has again been named on the interchange after a successful return from an ankle injury.
Sunday’s game kicks off at 4.05pm.
