Kickoff for the match is at 11:45am AEST as part of a two-game program at Leichhardt Oval, which culminates in the club's first-grade side taking on the Gold Coast Titans at 2:00pm.
Looking to secure their third win in a row, the third-placed Magpies will welcome several NRL squad members in to the side for this week's game with Tyson Gamble, Pita Godinet, Jacob Liddle and Chris McQueen all named for Sunday's game. 2018 Development player Dylan Smith will make his Intrust Super Premiership debut at fullback, with Watson Heleta (hamstring) unavailable for this week's game.
After helping the NSW Residents side to a strong win over Queensland, captain Luke Garner once again starts in the back row alongside McQueen, while NSW Residents teammate Bayley Sironen starts at lock.
Jersey Flegg-eligible forwards Sam McIntyre and Alex Seyfarth have both been included on the bench, with a fourth player to be added to the bench closer to kickoff.
