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.

Sharks: Dale Finucane, Nicho Hynes, Wade Graham, Sione Katoa, Briton Nikora, Will Kennedy, Jesse Ramien, Connor Tracey, Ronaldo Mulitalo, Toby Rudolf, Blayke Brailey and Matt Ikuvalu will all step out for their first game this week.

Hynes has been named at halfback with Braydon Trindall in the No.6 jersey.
The Sharks had no late changes in their final team list.
Bulldogs: A new era dawns for the Bulldogs with star recruits Josh Addo-Carr, Matt Burton and Brent Naden pulling on the blue and white for the first time. Burton's inclusion at five-eighth pushes Brandon Wakeham to the interchange.

Paul Alamoti withdrew from the game-day squad after injuring an ankle in the earlier trial. Ava Seumanufagai and Joshua Cook were also withdrawn earlier in the week with forward Phillip Makatoa and back Creedence Toia added to the line-up to face the Sharks.
