Cowboys team list: Round 22 v Roosters
North Queensland Toyota Cowboys prop Jordan McLean has been named to return from injury for Saturday’s clash with the Sydney Roosters at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
McLean has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in NSW Origin camp in the lead-up to Game 3 in July.
The 30-year-old has been named on the interchange with Jake Granville dropping to the reserves.
Reuben Cotter has been elevated to the starting side after a brilliant return from his own hamstring complaint.
Cotter started his first two games in his comeback from the interchange, but following a stunning 182 metre effort against the Bulldogs, the Maroons star has been named at prop to face the Roosters.
Jamayne Taunoa-Brown reverts to the interchange alongside McLean, Luciano Leilua and Griffin Neame.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 3pm.
