Cowboys NRLW team list: Round 8 v Dragons

North Queensland Toyota Cowboys centre Abigail Roache has been named to return from a knee injury for Saturday’s clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons at Allianz Stadium.

Roache has battled injury for the past month and was ruled out of last Sunday’s victory over the Sharks.

Her return sees club debutant Kayla Jackson revert to the reserves after an impressive first appearance for the Cowboys.

Last week’s NRL debutant Nadia Windleborn retains her place on the interchange.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 5.15pm.
