Cowboys stick solid

COWBOYS duo Lachlan Coote and Ethan Lowe remain on the outer after coach Paul Green opted to stick with the same line-up that fell to South Sydney last week.

Young guns Francis Molo and Enari Tuala will retain their spots on the bench for the second grand final rematch of the year, with the Cowboys to host the Storm on Friday.

Premiership-winning pair Coote and Lowe were dropped ahead of last week’s clash against the Rabbitohs, with Michael Morgan moving to fullback in place of Coote.

Molo took Lowe’s spot on the bench while Te Maire Martin went to five-eighth for Morgan, opening the door for Tuala to come into the 17.

The side lost but Green said they had looked the best they had in a few weeks.
