Oliver Gildart returns for his first match of the year, following shoulder surgery, while Oliver Partington is back in the squad after serving a four-match ban.

Lam had hinted he may give some fringe players a chance and was undecided whether to retain Joe Burgess on the left wing, with his other likely option switching Jake Bibby to accommodate Gildart's return.
