Mass changes for struggling Cowboys Cowboys leaked information regarding his future says departing coach Neil Henry. A NEW coach will be just one of several job vacancies the Cowboys will advertise this season. Poor results and a new hierarchy will ensure roster changes in Townsville next season. Neil Henry was the first casualty of North Queensland's poor season, but major doubts remain over their current roster. With salary cap space to play with next year, the Cowboys are likely to recruit another utility back or hooker. The current player market is very active, with several NRL clubs chasing low to mid-range priced players. Neil Henry of the Cowboys looks dejected. Hooker and fullback are the Cowboys' most worrying positions in 2014 and the club's new coach is sure to demand a roster shake-up. Cowboys No.9 Scott Moore and fullback Matt Bowen must step up in tonight's clash against table-topping South Sydney in Townsville or a replacement for them could be ordered. Moore is reportedly being chased by Super League club Salford City, with the organisation willing to take over the final year of the ex-England international's contract. Potential targets for North Queensland include Warriors veteran hooker Nathan Friend, who has been told he is unwanted in Auckland next season, and young St George Illawarra rake Cameron King. Former Queensland Origin great Gordon Tallis says he's surprised by North Queensland's decision to part company with Neil Henry after five years at the helm. Bowen is almost certain to either leave the club or retire at season's end due to doubts over his worn-down knees, while his deputy Clint Greenshields remains unsigned for next season. Cowboys' operations manager Peter Parr declined to comment on their recruitment, while departing coach Henry put it bluntly, saying their lack of a spine was a major cause of their fall from top-four expectations to a top-eight bust. "We haven't had anyone who has put their hand up and say `I'm the halfback for Johnathan (Thurston) and that's me, I've got it for the season, let's go'," Henry said. Morgo (Michael Morgan) has been inconvenienced by an ankle injury that needs surgery at the end of the year. Rob (Lui) dislocated his kneecap and missed six weeks. We should be higher up the ladder regardless of that. But to say we should be sitting in second or third is not realistic given we haven't excelled in the hooker role. We haven't had continuity there. We had three out of our four hookers had shoulder reconstructions. Scott Moore is the only one that really got a pre-season in with the ball and we haven't had continuity in the halves. You might be able to carry two players in the game. Fifteen or so play to their benchmark and two or three have a quiet game. When you have nine or 10 up to scratch and seven or eight not quite on their game, you don't win. The Cowboys are still a mathematical chance of making the eight if they upset the Rabbitohs. Moore said this week that he wanted to remain in North Queensland. "It's new coaching staff and (therefore) new players is part and parcel of sport, sometimes people miss out," he said. This year has been a bit turbulent for me, but hopefully the key is stay (in the team) for the rest of the year and if I can do that, then obviously you put your hand up for next year.
