There are a few changes to the side following last weekend’s golden-point loss to the Bulldogs.
Kobe Hetherington (concussion protocol), Brandon Wakeham (calf tear), and Reuben Garrick (concussion protocol) are unavailable.
Wakeham is expected to miss between four to six weeks.
Jake Simpkin replaces Wakeham at hooker, Ethan Bullemor comes into the starting lineup at prop in place of Hetherington, and Josh Feledy slots in for Garrick in the centres.
Joey Walsh has been named on the bench in the No. 14 jersey.
Aaron Schoupp is in line for his first NRL appearance since rupturing his ACL in Round 27 last season. He’s been named on the interchange after playing seven games in the NSW Cup this season.
Lehi Hopoate will line up for his 50th appearance on Saturday night, two years after making his NRL debut against the Storm at 4 Pines Park in Round 12, 2024.
