Cowboys team list: Round 6 v Dolphins

Scott Drinkwater and Reuben Cotter have been named to return for the Good Friday XXXX Derby clash with The Dolphins at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Drinkwater has missed the previous three rounds through suspension and returns at fullback with Tom Chester reverting to the interchange.

Cotter missed the last two outings with a knee injury. He returns at prop in place of Jordan McLean, who is set to miss 1-2 weeks with a hamstring injury.

Griffin Neame will make his first career start at second row, replacing Heilum Luki who is facing a 4-6 week stint on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Mitch Dunn remains at prop with Coen Hess continuing in the second row.

Last week’s debutant Riley Price retains his spot on the interchange alongside Jake Granville, Chester and Jamayne Taunoa-Brown.

Friday’s game kicks off at 8pm
