Cody Ramsey will play his first NRL game at fullback with Jordan Pereira (suspension) and last start interchange player Max Feagai named on the wing.
Talatau Amone will make his first grade starting debut in the centres which has caused a team-wide reshuffle. Billy Burns will play in the back row and Jackson Ford shifts to lock.
Poasa Faamausili will start in his preferred front row position with Paul Vaughan to start the game from the interchange.
Adam Clune has also been included on the interchange. Daniel Alvaro will act as 18th man
