Cowboys v Broncos, Saturday 9:00pm (AEDT) at BB Print Stadium, Mackay

Cowboys: Coach Todd Payten unveils his new-look backline with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow at fullback, Valentine Holmes in the centres alongside new recruit Peta Hiku, and five-eighth Tom Dearden partnering co-captain Chad Townsend in the halves. Dearden is expected to play the first half with Scott Drinkwater getting a crack at the No.6 in the second half. Reuben Cotter starts at lock in Jason Taumalolo's absence with young bulls Heilum Luki and Jeremiah Nanai in the second row.

Broncos: Tyson Gamble has been given another chance to convince Kevin Walters he is the man to partner skipper Adam Reynolds in the halves for round one after being called in as a late replacement for Albert Kelly. With Reynolds being kept on ice until the season opener, Gamble will play alongside Billy Walters at the scrum-base. Brenko Lee has also been promoted from the bench to replace in the centres, while former Panther Kurt Capewell will captain the side as he did last week against the Titans. Selwyn Cobbo gets a chance to press his claims at fullback and Cory Paix will start at hooker as he duels with Jake Turpin for the No.9 jersey for round one.
