Team List: NRL Round 18 vs Cowboys

There are a couple of changes to the team which lost to Melbourne Storm in Round 16, with Stefano Utoikamanu and Daine Laurie coming into the side.

Utoikamanu returns from NSW Origin duty pushing fellow middle forward Fonua Pole to the bench.

Laurie is set to play his first NRL game since Round 4 and will partner Brandon Wakeham in a new-look halves pairing, with Starford To'a shifting back to the centres.

David Nofoaluma (99 tries for Wests Tigers) could become the first player to score 100 tries for the club.
