Source: www.cowboys.com.auA foot injury has forced Cowboys co-captain Matthew Scott out of the Monday Night Football clash with the Raiders and handed Ricky Thorby his NRL debut for North Queensland.
The reigning Dally M Prop of the Year tore a ligament in the top of his foot late in the first half of Saturday night's loss to Cronulla at Dairy Farmers Stadium and is expected to miss two or three matches for the Cowboys.
However, he should be available for selection in the Australian team to face New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday night, 20 April.
"I'm aiming to be back for the Roosters game in Darwin in round seven," Scott said.
"But I'm told it can be a tricky type of injury to recover from so nothing is certain at this stage."
With Scott absent, Ashton Sims will start in the Cowboys' front-row at Canberra Stadium with Thorby to come off the interchange bench.
The former St George Illawarra Dragon joined North Queensland prior to the 2011 season but was unable to add to his tally of 21 NRL matches last year.
He was set to make his debut in round six against Canberra, but frustratingly was forced to withdraw after suffering a groin injury in pre-match training.
The 26-year-old has started the year strongly for the Northern Pride in the Intrust Super Cup and was 18th man for the Cowboys against Parramatta in round three.
Apart from the front-row change, the Cowboys will take an unchanged squad to Canberra to face a Raiders side coming off an impressive 30-16 win against the Wests Tigers on Monday night.
Winger Antonio Winterstein has been included despite hyper-extending his knee against the Sharks.
Monday night's match kicks off at 7pm and will be live on Fox Sports.

Source: www.cowboys.com.auNorth Queensland are set to take an unchanged line-up into the round four NRL match against the Cronulla Sharks at Dairy Farmers Stadium on Saturday night.
Coach Neil Henry today selected the same 17 players who disposed of Parramatta 42-6 at the weekend and added forward Ricky Thorby, who has played for the Northern Pride in the first two rounds of the Intrust Super Cup, as 18th man.
The fourth-placed Cowboys will be looking for their third straight victory when they face the Sharks, who downed premiers Manly 17-14 on Monday night.
Although they are set to have an unaltered team, the week is not without its challenges for North Queensland as wet weather continues to hit the region.
With outdoor fields waterlogged from almost a week of rain, the Cowboys will train indoors at RSL Stadium in Townsville this afternoon and tomorrow's session has already been shifted to the Murray Sports Complex's artificial hockey field.
Saturday night's match kicks off at 8.30pm (Qld time) and will be live on Fox Sports and 4TOFM ? follow our Twitter feed for live score updates.
