Referee: Liam Kennedy
Centre Sean Russell returns from concussion so Brian Kelly moves to the wing and last week's debutant Araz Nanva slides to the interchange. Charlie Guymer and Jack Williams are the new second-rowers in place of Kelma Tuilagi (head knock) and Kitione Kautoga. The loss of bench forward Sam Tuivaiti (head knock) sees Saxon Pryke join the bench for his NRL debut. Prop Toni Mataele has also been added to the bench as he chases a second NRL appearance after debuting in Round 11 last year.

Yuck
And exactly you expected what?
I'm hearing if there's any more injuries from this weekend, NRL has given the green light for Ryles and Sam Moa to lace up !
Good to see Pryke on the bench. EA & PT will be happy.
I dont rate Pryke too highly. To the point I thought he would never play NRL but with all these injuries he gets a chace. Happy for him. He will be the 7th player from the 2023 SG ball winning team to make their NRL debut. Alamdine was a part of that team too.
Ah, might've been PT.
He is that modern middle proto type. Smaller body that tackles all day and goes hard. His carry's are not the strongest given his size but he is all effort. He used to have a lot of handling errors in his game but he has improved that.
I suspect his mobility in defence has seen him chosen over his ability to gain metres.
agreed his defensive stats last week in cup was very impressive.
47 tackles with 0 missed. Couple ineffective.
week before was 43 tackles but 6 missed. And before that was 30 tackles with 2 missed.
We need someone to work their guts out for the 15-20mins they're out there without missing a tackle. Hopefully he makes the most of his chance.
