Jeral Skelton (hamstring) returns from his lengthy layoff, taking the place of Charlie Staines on the wing.
Sione Fainu is elevated to the starting side at prop, with Kit Laulili'i and Charlie Murray named on the interchange bench. Murray, a 23-year-old lock forward, is set to make his NRL debut after featuring for Wests Magpies in the NSW Cup this season.
Latu Fainu (hamstring) also returns from injury and joins the interchange bench in place of Brent Naden.
Alex Twal's concussion-forced absence means Alex Seyfarth shifts to lock and Tony Sukkar starts at second row.
