It is a great pleasure of mine to announce the North Queensland side primed to take on a powerful South Queensland side. The lineup has many surprises, including the naming of centres Paul Bowman and Josh Hannay at second row. This was done to capitalize on the huge depth in the backs we had, and to cover the lack of depth North Queensland have in the forwards.
