Michael Jennings comes in from 18th man to start in the centres, with Joseph Sua'ali'i shifting to the wing, while Connor Watson comes into the starting side in Radley's place.

Siua Wong comes onto the interchange bench for his third NRL match of the season, with Fetalaiga Pauga named at 18th man and Zach Dockar-Clay as the remaining reserve.
