Cody Walker, Clint Gutherson, Jacob Saifiti and Reagan Campbell-Gillard are all recalled to the Blues side while inspirational forward Jake Trbojevic is also back after missing the first two games with a calf injury. Scott Drinkwater is 18th Man.

Damien Cook has been named at hooker with Reece Robson on the bench but the pair are expected to operate as per program as opposed to their switch in Game Two.
