North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has named an unchanged 17 to face the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park on Friday evening.
State of Origin dummy-half Reece Robson has been included despite failing to finish Saturday’s clash against the Wests Tigers due to hamstring tightness.
Fellow Origin stars Tom Dearden, Jeremiah Nanai and Reuben Cotter are also set to take their places after successfully backing up against the Tigers.
Friday’s game kicks off at 6pm.
