Sea Eagles: Jackson Hastings is out with an Achilles injury and Toafofoa Sipley drops of the extended bench. Tom Trbojevic on Thursday morning said he had fully recovered from his right ankle injury and would be a certain starter. Towering 20-year-old Taniela Paseka could make his debut from the bench. Jack Gosiewski's impressive showing against the Titans earned him a starting spot in Tuesday's team list with Frank Winterstein dropping to the bench. 

Wests Tigers: Tui Lolohea and Chris McQueen drop off the extended bench. Josh Reynolds has overcome a hamstring injury and will play his first game in Tigers colours. Forwards leader Russell Packer is out with a knee injury, with Alex Twal to start at prop.
