Johnathan Thurston will make his first appearance in more than a month after being cleared for North Queensland’s NRL clash with Parramatta in Darwin.

Thurston has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since going down in the May 5 Anzac Test.

He will line up on Saturday night opposite Parramatta halfback Corey Norman, who is returning from a knee injury and will partner mid-season recruit Mitchell Moses for the first time.
