MATCH OVERVIEW

The Cowboys host the Warriors at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in an important clash ahead of the final.

With the minor premiership stitched up, the Cowboys will be aiming for a top-four finish in their last three games – and Friday’s Warriors clash will be their easiest round given the Rabbitohs and Panthers are their last two opponents.

They welcome back veteran winger Kyle Feldt after a hamstring injury, which pushed speedster Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to the bench.

In another key change, Reuben Cotter will start on the bench with Coen Hess to start, while Tom Gilbert is out for personal reasons with Luciano Leilua replacing him in the racing squad and Jamayne Taunoa-Brown joining the bench.

As for the Warriors, interim coach Stacey Jones stayed with the same 17 who did the job on the Bulldogs last week.

The Warriors are chasing straight wins for the first time since Round 5, while the Cowboys are hoping to rebound from last week’s loss to the Roosters.
