Wests Tigers v North Queensland Cowboys

Plenty of changes for both sides as the Tigers look to finish 2017 on a high note, while the Cowboys are out to steady the ship heading into the playoffs.

Tigers: Michael Chee Kam replaces Kevin Naiqama in the centres with Joel Edwards coming into the second row. Jack Littlejohn will play halfback with Luke Brooks out injured. Departing prop Ava Seumanufagai comes onto the bench alongside debutant Bayley Sironen.

Cowboys: Some big inclusions for the northerners with Lachlan Coote, Gavin Cooper and Shaun Fensom all returning. Rookie Shane Wright drops out of the squad with John Asiata to start in the front row.
