Updated Cowboys NRL team list: Round 20 v Bulldogs

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has reduced his squad to 19 ahead of Sunday’s battle with the Bulldogs at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Payten welcomes back all five of his Origin stars, with Valentine Holmes, Tom Dearden and Reece Robson coming straight into the starting side, while Reuben Cotter and Jeremiah Nanai will return via the bench. 

As a result, Jake Granville and Jaxon Purdue move back to the reserves. Tom Duffy, Semi Valemei, Jamal Shibasaki, Jake Clifford and Tom Mikaele all dropped out of the 24-man squad named on Tuesday.
