Webb and Hannay in dropped
quartet

Cowboys enforcer Carl Webb will join fellow Maroons Brad Thorn and Corey Parker and Josh Hannay in the Queensland Wizard Cup for this weekend's opening round.

Webb and Hannay have been left out of North Queensland's NRL squad for its clash against Brisbane on Sunday, while Thorn and Parker were dropped by Broncos coach Wayne Bennett yesterday.

Webb has been plagued by a quad strain during the pre-season with Hannay recovering from a shoulder reconstruction in the off-season. Ty Williams has taken Hannay's place in the centres while young gun Jacob Lillyman will start in the second row with Steve Southern to come on from the bench.
