Latest Team Stats

Mawene Hiroti is set for his first NRL game of the season in the centres with Jesse Ramien ruled out after injuring his knee in last week's win over the Warriors. Scans on Tuesday evening will determine Ramien's return-to-play timeframe.

The starting side is otherwise unchanged. Prop Tom Hazelton has been named on the interchange despite picking up an ankle complaint on the weekend.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm AEST (3.30pm Perth time).

The game will be broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
