The NSW City side has been dealt a double blow with Cronulla back-rower Wade Graham and Bulldogs halfback Trent Hodkinson both ruled out of the side’s clash with Country in Dubbo on Sunday.
Parramatta’s Darcy Lussick will come in for Graham with Manly’s Jamie Buhrer to be elevated from the bench to the starting team at lock.
Cronulla hooker Michael Lichaa, who was previously named 18th man, comes onto the bench in Hodkinson’s place.
Penrith back-rower Tyrone Peachey is the side’s new 18th man.
Hodkinson himself was a late replacement for Gold Coast halfback Aidan Sezer, who was ruled out through injury on Monday.
