There are two changes to the side that scored an impressive win over the Warriors last Friday, with wingers Solomon Alaimalo and Navren Willett dropping out of the side.
Alaimalo has been called into the NRL team for their clash against the Cowboys on Thursday night, while Willett has suffered a hamstring injury.
They will be replaced by Tino Tavana and Nick Mougios respectively, with the pair set to make their Magpies debuts in this week’s fixture.
Tavana is a Wests junior who has risen through the Magpies pathways system and has played for Wests Tigers’ Jersey Flegg Cup team in 2024.
Mougios has been elevated from Ryde-Eastwood’s Ron Massey Cup team and has previously played NSW Cup for North Sydney Bears and South Sydney Rabbitohs.
