Starford To’a is out with a shoulder injury with Brent Naden coming into the centres for the Tigers. The Cowboys are 1-17.
Mathematically, Benji Marshall’s outfit has the slightest glimmer of finals hope, but they need a host of results to go their way to finish in the top eight.
The Tigers have bested the Sea Eagles and Bulldogs in recent weeks, showing they are improving after several dire seasons at Leichhardt.
They also have a perfect record at Leichhardt Oval this season, with earlier wins coming over the Sharks and Titans.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys have named an unchanged side after their 38-4 thrashing of the Knights in Round 24.
