Cameron Ciraldo has named Matt Burton in the centres with Captain Stephen Crichton to line up at five-eighth. Jacob Preston comes into the extended squad as he eyes a return from an arm injury that has sidelined him since Round 12. Meanwhile Sitili Tupouniua has unfortunately been ruled out for eight weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the Round 16 victory over Manly.
In Round 17, the NRL and Mark Hughes Foundation proudly mark 10 years of Beanie for Brain Cancer Round.
For 10 years, the Rugby League community has come together to raise funds for vital research and patient support. Stand with us to be part of something powerful. Help us take on brain cancer – buy a beanie or donate today at markhughesfoundation.com.au.
