North Queensland Toyota Cowboys NRLW Head Coach Ricky Henry has named Fran Goldthorp at fullback for Saturday’s Magic Round battle with the Canberra Raiders in Wagga Wagga.
Goldthorp shifted from centre to fullback late in the Round 4 game against the Titans and provided a spark both defensively and in attack.
Charlize Lloyd-Phillips remains on the wing after an impressive NRLW debut last weekend.
Lily Dick has been named to make her first start of the season, named in the second-row alongside veteran Tallisha Harden.
Tiana Raftstrand-Smith has been named on the interchange as she closes in on a return from a hamstring injury.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 3.15pm
