North Queensland Toyota Cowboys head coach Paul Green has named an unchanged 17 for Friday night’s blockbuster clash with the Parramatta Eels at Bankwest Stadium.

Late inclusions for Saturday’s victory over the Newcastle Knights Tom Opacic, Jordan McLean and Shane Wright retain their positions in the side after a trio of strong performances.

Justin O’Neill remains on the wing as per last week’s late change, with Francis Molo again on the interchange alongside utility Ben Hampton as well as fellow forwards Gavin Cooper and Peter Hola.

Star fullback Valentine Holmes has been included on the reserves by head coach Paul Green as he edges closer to returning from an ankle injury suffered against the Warriors in Round 5.

Friday’s game kicks off 7.55pm.
