North Queensland coach Paul Green will stick with the reshuffled backs set-up that almost secured an NRL victory over South Sydney.
Michael Morgan was moved from the halves to fullback with Te Maire Martin playing alongside Cowboys skipper Johnathan Thurston in a game the Cowboys led going into the final minute.
Morgan's drop goal gave them the lead for the first time with four minutes remaining before Adam Reynolds' penalty stole a 20-19 victory for the Rabbitohs.
Both Cowboys tries came from Morgan linking with Thurston and then setting up Antonio Winterstein to dive over in the left corner.
Green explained his decision to switch his backs around was more about getting the most out of Martin than Morgan.

"It was probably more about how we get Te Maire more involved," Green said.
"In previous games when he gets in there he lifts the tempo of how we play. I thought he was sharp and kept them honest on that side.
"I thought we showed some really good signs there in attack. Morgs laid on a couple of tries. At this stage we'll probably stick with it."
Thurston was quick to praise Morgan's desire to do the grunt work needed from a fullback.
"Big Tom or George (Burgess) come through the line one-on-one, 120 kilos and he sat him on his rear end so he was good on both sides of the ball," Thurston said.
"There's a lot of positives signs from tonight (in) the changes the coaching staff made. We need to take that moving forward.
"We've definitely got the gameplay and structures in place to win games."
