We're just about ready for a start here in Friday night footy. Cowboys in their navy blue, Roosters in white. Referes Sutton and Noyen in lime.
Team news - one change each. The Roosters have benched Kane Evans to start Sam Moa in the forwards, while Cowboys hooker Jake Granville drops to the interchange in favour of Rory Kostjasyn at acting half.
Friday night footy from the far north - and it's been a wet one. Not expecting the greatest crowd for the reigning champs tonight due to that and the Thursday scheduling but should be entertaining nonetheless.
