TEAM CHANGES:
CRO: As mentioned in the introduction, Valentine Holmes, the exciting back from the Sharks Holden Cup side, is making his debut this afternoon pleasing those who take a keen eye on the lower grades. He will wear jersey #21 with the only other change being Tupou Sopoaga replacing Tim Robinson on the bench.
PAR: It's debutant-palooza this afternoon! USA international (yes that's a thing..) Bureta Faraimo comes in for his maiden NRL start also on the wing, replacing Ken Sio. The other change is purely cosmetic, as Peni Teripo making his return, will start from the bench with Junior Paulo starting in his place.
