The inclusion of Fijian forward Viliame Kikau in an 18-man squad is the only change for the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys’ NYC team heading into the Good Friday clash with Manly at Gosford.
After missing the last two matches through suspension, Kikau has been named on a five-man interchange bench by coach Todd Wilson who has just the only injury concern – prop Jack Brock (knee).
The starting 13 is unchanged as the North Queensland under-20s try to end a two-game losing sequence.
Both the Cowboys and Sea Eagles have two wins and four losses so far this season to be in 13th and 14th places on the NYC ladder, one win outside the top eight.
