There will be several changes to the Gold Training under-20s side for Sunday’s clash with St George Illawarra Dragons (12.40pm) this Saturday.
Greg Leleisiuao returns to the team after missing Sunday’s loss to the Sharks because of an ankle injury and coach Ben Woolf also hopes to have back-rower Shane Wright right to return from a shoulder injury, for his first hit-out since playing in the NRL trials.
Brayden McGrady is back from an ankle injury but has been shifted to the wing with Tyronne Roberts-Davis retaining the fullback spot.
Sam Swift will also return but will come off the bench.
Hooker Jordan Scott pleaded guilty to a dangerous throw charge out of Sunday’s clash and will miss the next two games. Corey Manicaros, who scored a try on debut against the Sharks, has been chosen to start at hooker with Ethan Roberts coming off the bench.
