Mat Croker starts at lock after originally being named on the interchange. Centre Bradman Best and winger Enari Tuala are out after being stood down by the club for disciplinary reasons. Edrick Lee is back from a foot injury on the wing and Krystian Mapapalangi will make his NRL debut at centre.

Raiders:Influential prop Joseph Tapine (ribs) returns to the field. Winger Nick Cotric is back from a one-game suspension which pushes Albert Hopoate to 18th Man. Tom Starling and Zac Woolford switched places before kick-off, with Starling the starting hooker and Woolford moving back to the bench.
