North Queensland's assembly of a potent attacking backline has gone up a notch with the signings of Cronulla outside backs Sione Katoa and Jesse Ramien.
The dynamic duo have both inked two-year deals with the Cowboys from next season after playing key roles in the Sharks' regular finals appearances during their tenure for most of the past decade.
The acquisitions, however, suggest off-contract Queensland representative winger Murray Taulagi could be playing the last of his eight seasons at the club.
The 27-year-old Samoa and Australia representative was offered an extension by the club but did not take it up.
Taulagi has been linked with a move to Sydney Roosters, who will lose star winger Mark Nawaqanitawase back to rugby union next year.
