Coach Nathan Brown has named his squad to take on the Parramatta Eels at ANZ Stadium this Saturday evening.
With Nathan Ross out injured, Cory Denniss comes into the centres to make his first NRL appearance since Round 25 of the 2016 season.
The 20-year-old flyer has been one of the Club's best in Reserve Grade so far this season.
Elsewhere, Jacob Lillyman and Daniel Saifiti start in the front row, with Herman Ese'ese ruled out through suspension.
Following a successful return from injury in Reserve Grade last week, Nick Meaney has been named in the extended squad alongside Pat Mata'utia for the first time in 2018.
