The team will welcome back both of its State of Origin representatives, Haumole Olakau’atu and Tolu Koula, after they helped New South Wales to victory over Queensland last Wednesday.
Koula was forced from the field following a head knock in the second half of Origin 1 and did not return after failing a head injury assessment.
Following an application to the NRL Tolu has since satisfied the strict return-to-play criteria which included testing and assessment by an independent neurological expert, clearing him to play on Thursday.
Olakau’atu is also back on deck and slots straight back into the second row, pushing Jackson Shereb to the interchange.
Middle forward Ethan Bullemor, who was on the interchange last round, has been ruled out of Thursday night’s game after suffering a head knock in training on Monday.
