Fiji Bati Taniela Sadrugu will have his first taste of the National Rugby League this season after being named in the North Queensland Cowboys line-up for their preseason match against newcomers, the Redcliffe Dolphins.
Sadrugu has been named at prop for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys host the Dolphins on Sunday at Barlow Park at 7pm.
