St George Illawarra Dragons interim coach Ryan Carr has finalised his squad to face the Warriors at WIN Stadium in Round 17.
There are no changes ahead of kick-off with Jaiyden Hunt confirmed as 18th man.
Billy Burns, Toby Couchman and Max Feagai drop out of the squad 24 hours before kick-off.
Jack de Belin has been named to return at lock for his 200th NRL game after missing the side’s last-start win over the Rabbitohs due to a head knock with Jaiyden Hunt reverting to 18th man.
The Cootamundra junior debuted for the club as a 20-year-old back in 2011 and becomes just the sixth St George Illawarra player to reach the 200-game milestone.
Jack Bird also returns into the second row after missing the side’s past two clashes with Ben Murdoch-Masila dropping to the interchange.
Blake Lawrie will start up front after a successful return from a broken hand pushing Michael Molo back to the bench. Josh Kerr is out of the side after the club granted him a mid-season release.
Ben Hunt has been named at halfback pending his appearance for Queensland in State of Origin II on Wednesday night and his availability for Friday will be assessed after that game.
