Cowboys' NRL trials v Dragons, Titans
The Cowboys will play both their major pre-season trials in north Queensland, with the NRL club confirming they have locked in a clash with St George Illawarra in Cairns for early 2013.
North Queensland will tackle the Dragons at Barlow Park on February 16.
They will also take on Gold Coast in Mackay on February 23.
Cowboys' football manager Peter Parr said North Queensland would hold a three-day camp in Cairns ahead of the Dragons clash with several community visits organised during their stay.
Parr said he expected the "full house" sign to go up at Barlow Park.
"Since our inception, the Cairns region has always been a Cowboys' stronghold," Parr said.
"This will be our 10th visit to Cairns in 11 years for a pre-season game to go along with the junior rugby league and community work we undertake in the region each year."
Cairns-based Queensland Cup side the Pride will take on the Cowboys' Toyota Cup outfit in the curtain-raiser.

Titans trial team to be announced on Thursday.
If Titans can limit the Cowboys to at least one or two tries then i'll be impressed.
2013 - Sezer's breakout year
Yes, this is a perfect trial test. Cows have got to be top four contenders with that squad. Lets get a feel for it early on.
Im curious to see how Carty will approach this. Will he still bring all 3 halfback options or give Sezer and Kelly the full 80 to help them gel? Then he can **** the focus to left centre/filling that left wing position by bringing along Don, O'Dare, Russell and whoever else.
Tbh would not be surprised at all if he just trialled Michaels and Atkins for the left wing :/

iSelect Titans forward Greg Bird says he is looking forward to tackling his new role as Co-Captain when he lines up in club colours for the first time in 2013 on Saturday night.
Bird has been named as a confirmed starter for Saturday night’s final trial match against the North Queensland Cowboys in Mackay, as Coach Cartwright looks to use the trial match as a dress rehearsal ahead of Round 1.
It will mark his first match in his new role as Co-Captain, alongside last season's Paul Broughton Medal winner, Nate Myles.
The Cowboys will field close to a full strength line-up for Saturday’s clash in Mackay and Bird is expecting another traditionally tough encounter.
The Titans were forced to take training over state lines to Cudgen today due to the wet weather on the Gold Coast, but Bird said the Titans players couldn't use the altered training preparation as an excuse.
Watch the Titans TV video to hear Bird's thoughts on his new role as Co-Captain and the Cowboys clash.

Harro won't be playing..copped a broken nose from Prince's swinging arm in the All Stars match. Had to have it operated on and everything
I remember last year when Cowboys were attacking in our own 10 for about 10 mins and they still couldn't crack us. Those moments bring tears to my eyes. If we can get a win against the Cows this weekend ill be very confident for this season.
2013 - Sezer's breakout year
Cowboys are definitely a top 4 team in my mind and if we can get wins over them this season then that will mean we're running along nicely and will be looking at a finals berth. They may have come up short but it wasn't by much in 2012. They will be very good with a lot of their young players still on the improve. If Tariq stays fit and Taumalolo keeps improving they will be a scary unit. Hooker is the big unknown for them but if they find a half decent one they'll be in the top echelon for sure.
Geese are the ultimate team players.
They honk to encourage one another!
