NRL team list: Round 7 v Knights

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green has named an unchanged starting line-up for Saturday afternoon’s clash with the Newcastle Knights at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Vice-captain Jordan McLean has been named in the reserves as he attempts to overcome a calf injury suffered against the Warriors in Round 5.

Connelly Lemuelu holds his spot on the wing after a promising debut appearance against the Wests Tigers in Round 6, while fellow youngster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow again lines up at fullback with Valentine Holmes sidelined.
