Parramatta welcome back Jarryd Hayne from injury and he replaces Jake Mullaney at fullback. Ben Roberts will start at hooker, replacing Nathan Smith, with Joseph Paulo reverting to his usual back-row position. That shuffle sees Nathan Hindmarsh assume front-row duties while Tim Mannah moves to the bench.
For the Storm, Will Chambers returns and will start in the centres. Justin O'Neill is out with a groin injury. Richie Fa'aoso comes onto the bench for Jaiman Lowe, while Ryan Hinchcliffe will start at lock with Todd Lowrie moving back to the bench.
