Kickoff for the match is at 4:10pm AEST with live coverage via Channel 9 and FOX League.

Cleary has confirmed one key inclusion for his side with Luke Garner to make his NRL debut.

Garner replaces Alex Twal on the interchange bench in the only change for today's team, which will see Benji Marshall (calf), Ben Matulino (knee) and David Nofoaluma (calf) all return from injury.

In other key news, Luke Brooks becomes the first halfback in club history to play 100 first-grade games for the club while Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah return for their first game together since Round 26, 2013.
