Siosifa Talakai is set to return from calf tightness in a straight swap with suspended centre Jesse Ramien for the Sharks' final home game of the regular season against the Warriors on Saturday night.
Halfback Nicho Hynes (ankle/leg injury) has been named on the extended interchange as he closes in on his first NRL appearance since Round 18.
Sione Katoa is back on deck after sitting out last week's win over the Dragons due to concussion protocols. He will replace Mawene Hiroti, who has picked up a knee injury. Ronaldo Mulitalo (knee) will be sidelined for another week, with Sam Stonestreet retaining his place on the flank after an impressive two-try haul.
Captain Cameron McInnes will mark his 200th NRL match on a day also celebrating the club's Old Boys, including recently retired warhorse Dale Finucane.
Ramien took the early guilty plea for a Grade 2 careless high tackle on St George Illawarra's Mat Feagai, accepting a one-match ban on Tuesday.
See the 22-man team list below ahead of a huge evening at PointsBet Stadium.
