Benz and Walker to lead the way for Cowboys reggies

RUGBY LEAGUE: Halves Brett Benz and Fred Walker will provide a lot of the experience as Warwick plays Valleys in the TRL reserve-grade elimination final at 5pm tomorrowat Clive Berghofer Stadium in Toowoomba.

Warwick will almost be at full strength except for the loss of winger James Breen with a knee injury. He will be replaced by Joel Ray.

Hooker Josh McIntosh had a fitness test on Thursday on a hamstring injury and will play.

Coach Tim Doyle said his team knew it would be a huge challenge against Valleys.

"Valleys are the reserve-grade premiers and are always tough in a finals series,” he said

"We trained extremely well on Thursday night and go into the game with plenty of confidence.”

It is one win each for the teams this season in head-to-head clashes.

Mitch McMahon will captain the team from lock and is certain to be one of the leading tacklers for the Cowboys along with the club's most capped player David Hallman.

One of the players to watch will be Warwick fullback Charlie Duroux who travels twice a week from Tenterfield to train and play with the Cowboys. Duroux landed five goals last weekend in the win against Goondiwindi.
