Trent Robinson's side to face North Queensland has had one change made from last week, with Egan Butcher returning to the line up.

Captain James Tedesco once again lines up at fullback in his milestone match alongside Daniel Tupou, Paul Momirovski, Joseph Manu and Joseph Suaalii in a star-studded backline.

The halves combination of Luke Keary at five-eighth and Sam Walker at halfback has been retained for a fourth consecutive week, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Sam Verrills and Matt Lodge have been named up front.

Coming off a double last week, Nat Butcher lines up against fellow try-scorer Angus Crichton in the back row, while Victor Radley returns to take his place in the no.13 following a vintage performance against the Broncos.

The interchange bench features Connor Watson, Egan Butcher and Drew Hutchison as well as Terrell May.

Named on the extended bench are Adam Keighran, Fletcher Baker, Kevin Naiqama, Ben Thomas and Siua Wong.
