Ahead of Friday night's clash against the Melbourne Storm at 1300SMILES Stadium, we look back at a previous historical clash between the two sides.
- Round 1, 2003: Four Cowboys make club debuts
- Round 17, 2009: Three club milestones and a Mango double
North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Neil Henry has named an unchanged lineup for this Sunday’s clash with the Melbourne Storm at Dairy Farmers Stadium.
In what will be a milestone match for the club, hooker Aaron Payne is set to play his 200th game for the club, while Johnathan Thurston will play his 150th game in Cowboys colours.
Johnathan Thurston currently sits just five points short of becoming the first Cowboy to surpass the 1,000 point mark.
