North Queensland Toyota Cowboys coach Paul Green has made two changes to the squad for their round 2 match against the Knights at 1300SMILES Stadium on Saturday night.
Green has shown faith with the run-on side that was beaten by the Roosters last week, but has opted to bring in Kelepi Tanginoa in place of Glenn Hall on the bench.
It will be a belated birthday present for the 21-year-old who is set to make his debut for the Cowboys, while Lachlan Coote has been selected as 18th man.
Johnathan Thurston and Robert Lui will again be the halves, while Justin O’Neill retains his spot on the right wing.
