Morgan named to return for Cowboys

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green has named his squad to play the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park to kick off Round 3 NRL action this Thursday night.

Five-eighth Michael Morgan is part of the Cowboys' travelling party and has been named in the halves after missing the opening two rounds with an abdominal strain.

Coen Hess comes into the starting side, while Te Maire Martin, John Asiata, Scott Bolton and Ethan Lowe make up Green's interchange bench.

This will be the second time in a month the two teams have lined up, following February's Testimonial match, and their first competition match since last year's NRL grand final.   

Thursday's game kicks off at 8.05pm local time.
