With Sione Katoa suspended, local junior Sam Stonestreet will make his much-anticipated NRL debut on the wing in Sunday's Sharks-Cowboys Round 7 blockbuster at PointsBet Stadium.
A product of the De La Salle Caringbah club, the 21-year-old Stonestreet has come through the grades at Cronulla and impressed in the NSW Cup for the Newtown Jets.
Katoa is sidelined having accepted a one-match ban after being charged with a Grade 2 careless high tackle on Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray.
In other significant news, international prop Braden Hamlin-Uele is set to play his 100th NRL game after being named on the interchange in jersey No.17.
After a layoff due to knee surgery, the Kiwi and Samoan Test representative was solid in his first game of the season for the Jets in a loss to Souths on the weekend.
Hamlin-Uele's inclusion has resulted in fellow front-rower Tuku Hau Tapuha reverting to the extended bench along with Billy Burns, who was a late omission from the 17 that defeated the Rabbitohs to allow for Toby Rudolf's return.
Kick-off on Sunday is at 4.05pm, with coverage on Channel Nine, Foxtel and Kayo.

The man of the match will receive the prestigious Paul Green Medal.
