Trent Robinson has confirmed his side for tonight's season-opener against the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville.
The Head Coach has made no changes to the seventeen named on Tuesday afternoon with the three Club debutants - Matt McIlwrick, Blake Ferguson and Siua Taukeiaho - all set to gain their first Tricolours appearance.
The trio have all appeared at NRL level before with McIlwrick and Ferguson both most recently representing the Canberra Raiders while Taukeiaho's appearance came for the New Zealand Warriors.
Tauakeiaho will start from the bench with the backrower expected to play a role in the middle of the field and out on the edge if one of Robinson's international wide-running second rowers in Aidan Guerra and Boyd Cordner throw their hand up for a breather.
