Trent Robinson has sprung a backline shuffle with Billy Smith returning from suspension, resulting in Mark Nawaqanitawase shifting to the wing and Dom Young dropping out to the extended reserves.
Experienced forward Nat Butcher will be missing for a few weeks due to a knee injury from the loss to Penrith. Spencer Leniu comes in as replacement in the front row, while Angus Crichton’s return from a groin problem pushes Salesi Foketi to the bench.

Front-rower Emre Guler is back from his three-game hip-drop suspension and will start on the bench.
