Sea Eagles fullback Brett Stewart will miss Friday night’s blockbuster against South Sydney after succumbing to a hamstring injury.
The man who played second fiddle to Stewart last season, Peta Hiku, will line up at the back, with David Williams set to return on the wing for the Sea Eagles.
Cheyse Blair will shift to the left wing position to make way for Williams.
The forward pack has been bolstered by the return of veteran front rower Jason King, who will make his first NRL appearence in almost a year.
