Welcome to Bankwest Stadium where the Parramatta Eels host the North Queensland Cowboys in our second game of Friday Night Football. No changes for Parramatta who are 1-17. North Queensland welcome back superstar fullback Valentine Holmes in jersey #19 replacing rookie speedster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow. Prop Jordan McLean has been ruled out, with Francis Molo starting in jersey #17 and Reuben Cotter joining the pine in jersey #18. The top of the table Eels are highly fancied by the bookies in this match up, however the Cowboys sit just on the edge of the Top 8 and will be boosted by the return of Holmes at the back. This will be a cracker, so stay tuned for all the action @LeagueUnlimited kick-off not far away!
