Cowboys NRL team list: Round 23 v Broncos

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys forwards Griffin Neame and Heilum Luki have been named to return from injury for Saturday’s blockbuster XXXX Derby showdown with the Broncos at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.

Luki has missed the previous five games after sustaining a facial fracture in the Round 16 victory over the Panthers, while Neame was ruled out of last weekend’s game with concussion.

Both Luki and Neame have been named on the interchange for the Broncos clash.

Jason Taumalolo has been elevated to the starting side at prop after returning from knee and hamstring injuries via the interchange.

Coen Hess moves to the second row to replace Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, who picked up a head knock against the Titans last weekend.

Valentine Holmes has been named at centre, with the 28-year-old to contest the grading of a careless high tackle charge at the NRL judiciary tonight.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3pm.
