NRL team list: Round 2 v Bulldogs
North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green will unleash representative forward Josh McGuire at prop for Thursday night’s Round 2 clash with the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium.
McGuire missed the season-opening fixture against the Broncos through suspension, but Green has wasted no time installing the Maroons enforcer into his starting side.
The 30-year-old’s inclusion sees John Asiata revert to the interchange and Corey Jensen to the reserves.
Centre Justin O’Neill is on track to battle the Bulldogs after coming from the field early in the Broncos clash following a head knock.
Asiata is joined on the interchange by hooker Reece Robson, utility Mitch Dunn and prop Francis Molo.
Thursday night’s game kicks off at 7.05pm (QLD).
