Cowboys NRL team list: Round 2 v Tigers

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten has made two changes to his 22-man squad to face the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Tom Mikaele is set for a stint on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury in Las Vegas, while John Bateman is also unavailable due to a wrist injury.

Outside back Ethan King and prop Kaiden Lahrs have been elevated into the squad.

Cowboys winger Braidon Burns will contest the grading of a careless high tackle charge at the judiciary tonight and will be available to play if successful.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3pm (2pm QLD).
