Brett Stewart has been named as Sea Eagles skipper for only the second time in his career and the first time since 2011.
With injuries to a number of key personnel including regular captain Jamie Lyon, the custodian will be out to defend his 100% strike rate, having led the side to victory against the Roosters back in 2011.
Daly Cherry-Evans is expected to play depsite a minor calf strain, while Jack Littlejohn retains his spot in the halves with Foran still out.
David Williams comes back in on the wing for what will be his 99th match in the maroon & white, while Peta Hiku shuffles in to the centres after scoring four against the Raiders at Brookvale.
Jamie Buhrer slots in to the vacant lock postion with Glenn Stewart sidelined with an ankle injury, while James Hasson returns to the interchange bench.
