The team news is in for the World Club Challenge and star man Morgan Knowles has returned.
He of course comes in at loose-forward after missing last week through illness.
As he returns, second-row Joe Batchelor drops out through an ankle injury which will require surgery.
Thus, Curtis Sironen comes into the backrow after a brilliant display from the bench against St George Illawarra Dragons.
James Bell drops to the bench after starting against the Dragons.
They are the only changes to the side.
Jack Welsby, Tommy Makinson and Will Hopoate form the back three. Konrad Hurrell and Mark Percival start in the centres.
Jonny Lomax and Jack Welsby are the halves whilst James Roby captains the side from nine with Alex Walmsley and Matty Lees at prop.
He has a five man bench with Joey Lussick, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook. Agnatius Paasi, Jake Wingfield and James Bell.
“I’m obviously delighted to name such a strong line up. It is a great opportunity for the guys to produce something special.
“I have trust and faith in every one of those guys. It is disappointing for the guys who have missed out but that is the nature of the sport.
“Those guys who have missed out have been hugely supportive.
“Always good to have Morgan Knowles in your team. He has great energy.”

Penrith have most of their star players back except for Grand Final Man of the Match Dylan Edwards so the man who broke English hearts for Samoa Stephen Crichton starts at fullback.
Star halfbacks Jarome Luai and Nathan Cleary start. Former Huddersfield Giants halfback Jack Cogger is on the bench.
