North Queensland Toyota Cowboys NRLW Head Coach Ricky Henry has made a pair of late changes for Saturday's clash with the Newcastle Knights. Charlize Lloyd-Phillips, a combat rescue specialist in the Australian Defence Force, will miss the clash after she was released by the club to complete a Tactical Rope and Rescue Operator course held over the last couple of days. Kayla Jackson will take her place on the wing. As a result, 25-year-old Lyrech Mara comes onto the bench to make her NRLW debut in her home town of Townsville. Saturday’s game kicks off at 5.15pm, which will be followed by the NRL fixture at 7.35pm. Cowboys team to play Knights: 18. Kayla Jackson 5. Margot Vella 7. Rosie Kelly 15. Lily Dick 9.
