NSW Cup coach Matt Lantry has named a 19-man squad for Sunday's Preliminary Final against the Mounties at Leichhardt Oval.
Jaelen Feeney returns after missing last weekend's match due to illness, which means George Ndaira moves to the bench.
Luke Yates, who is named on an extended bench, also returns this week after he missed last weekend's match due to suspension.
After scoring a hat-trick in last weekend's win, Jake Mamo resumes at fullback, while Danny Levi starts at hooker after being named in the 2015 Holden Cup Team of the Year on Monday.
