Trent Robinson has named his side for next Monday Night's Round 22 clash with the Gold Coast Titans at Allianz Stadium, with the Head Coach being forced into a reshuffle of his side following the news earlier this afternoon that hooker Jake Friend had been ruled out with injury.
Friend suffered a hamstring strain in the dying stages of last Saturday's win over the St George Illawarra Iron Man Dragons and is expected to be out of action for 2-4 weeks.
Friend's place in the No.9 shirt has been taken by Heath L'Estrange.

It's not all doom and gloom for Robinson in Round 22 however, with Mitchell Aubusson declared fit for the clash after missing last week's match with an ankle injury.
Aubusson has been named to replace L'Estrange in the No.14 shirt on a six-man bench alongside Isaac Liu, Dylan Napa, Remi Casty, Kane Evans and Kurt Kara.
The side is unchanged otherwise after last Saturday's return to the winners list with Daniel Tupou and Sonny Bill Williams still unavailable through injury.
Robinson will confirm his seventeen on Monday (11 Aug) evening.
