Radley was initially named within the 17 regardless of failing a HIA final week. He didn’t go concussion protocols on Friday and so was dominated out with Naufahu Whyte changing him at lock and Ben Thomas becoming a member of the bench.

Manu slots again in at centre, pushing Drew Hutchison to the bench and Corey Allan to the reserves.

The Roosters want to bounce again from a shock 28-18 loss to NRL newcomers, the Dolphins, final week.

It’s a stark distinction to the Warriors, who loved a 20-12 win over the Knights in Round 1 and can wheel out an unchanged line-up.
