Show Preview
Round 25 of the NRL kicks off tonight with the North Queensland Cowboys taking on the Cronulla Sharks. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm AEST.
Maroons forward Jeremiah Nanai will make a return after a month out with a shoulder injury after North Queensland had the bye last round. Coen Hess drops back to the bench.
James Tamou has been named in the reserves after a lengthy spell out with a foot problem.
The ninth-placed Cowboys host the Sharks, in fifth, and must win to keep their NRL finals hopes alive.
Nanai missed the losses to Gold Coast and Brisbane after suffering a shoulder injury in the round-21 win over Parramatta. His attacking threat on the edge gives the Cowboys strike and the 20-year-old has shown he likes the big occasion.
The Sharks clash is certainly a pivotal game in the Cowboys’ season. They are on 28 points and outside the top eight on for and against, but have challenging clashes with the Dolphins and Penrith to finish the year.
Payten was just happy to have Nanai back after he missed a chunk of the season previously due to two suspensions.
Thomas Hazelton (concussion) missed the win over the Titans and is right to return while fellow prop Oregon Kaufusi (finger) is still out.
If the Sharks want to be any chance of making the NRL top four, they have to put up a huge statement away from home. The Cowboys, likewise, can’t expect to be considered finals contenders if they don’t win this one. Cowboys by 2
