North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Under-20s coach Aaron Payne has named his 23-man squad for Saturday’s Round 13 National Youth Competition match against the Gold Coast Titans.
Looking to snap a four-game losing streak, the NYC Cowboys will be without regular halfback Jake Clifford (groin) and strike centre Enari Tuala (broken jaw), but get interchange forward Solomon Vasuvulagi back from an ankle injury.
Payne has also named Queensland Under-20s trio Corey Horsburgh, Mitch Dunn and Hiale Roycroft to play the Titans following Wednesday’s State of Origin curtain-raiser against the young Blues side.
