North Queensland Toyota Cowboys NYC coach Todd Payten has stuck with the side that thumped the Sydney Roosters in the opening round clash for their round two match-up against Newcastle.
Braden Uele and Viliame Kikau, who scored five tries between them last weekend, will again be the leaders in the engine room for the Cowboys.
Ty Carucci and Cooper Bambling will return in the halves with Kieran Quabba set to lead them out against last season’s minor premiers.
