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 Cowboys have struck an impressive balance this year between local products and valuable imports in their rise into the top eight.
Forward recruits Reed Mahoney (ex-Canterbury), prop Thomas Mikaele (ex-Warrington) and Matt Lodge (ex-Manly) have all hit their straps.
Katoa and Ramien will join a backline that includes speedy local North Queensland products Tom Chester and Jaxon Purdue.
Purdue, currently playing centre, is set to move to fullback next year when No.1 Scott Drinkwater departs for St George Illawarra.
