There will be at least one change to the Toyota Cowboys’ squad for the round four NYC match against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium on Monday evening.
Interchange back-rower Kieran Quabba has been rested due to a recent illness, giving Jack Brock and Michael Barclay the chance to play their first under-20s match of the season.
The duo have been named on a five-man bench that will be reduced to four by coach Todd Wilson before the Cowboys head south on Sunday.
While Brock, a Burdekin Roosters junior, previously played NYC football for North Queensland in 2013, Barclay has yet to make his under-20s debut after finishing his high school studies last year.
The 18-year-old front-rower has been playing A-grade club football with Townsville Brothers and is a former Australian Schoolboys and Australian Institute of Sport representative.
