SAM Burgess has made six changes in all to his Warrington Wolves squad that will travel to Wakefield Trinity.
However, The Wire are still sending a strong side to West Yorkshire in a big to lock up third place - and it could include Luke Yates for the first time in several months.
The Australian forward has not played since May having suffered a serious neck injury that had been set to keep him out for the remainder of the season.
But Yates has confounded those predictions and is in contention to make his return well in advance of the play-offs.
He is joined in the squad by Cai Taylor-Wray, Josh Smith, Kelepi Tanginoa and Ben Hartill while young prop Charlie McKler, who scored twice in the Reserves' semi-final win over Leeds Rhinos on Sunday, would be making his Super League debut if selected.
Sam Powell drops out to serve a one-match suspension while Arron Lindop misses out under concussion protocol, but there are other absences more related to injury.
Joe Philbin and Luke Thomas drop out having limped off during Saturday's win at Hull FC while half-back Ewan Irwin is also not included having not played since picking up a foot injury at Hull KR last month.
Jordy Crowther is the other player to drop out, with Burgess set to give a full injury update at his pre-match press conference tomorrow.

Wakefield Trinity set for triple boost?
Wakefield go into the game knowing a victory will all but seal a home eliminator tie - it will mathematically seal it if Leigh Leopards fails to beat St Helens on Friday.
And they make just one change to their 21 with prop Emre Guler - signed ahead of the deadline from St George Illawarra Dragons - drafted back into the fold in place of Myles Lawford.
Trinity could also have winger Tom Johnstone and back-rower Isaiah Vagana back after they were both named in the 21 to face York Knights but did not feature in the matchday squad.
👊🏻 Daryl Powell Makes One Change!
Emre Guler returns to the Trinity side as we prepare to take on Warrington Wolves on Saturday 5th September!
