Another new recruit from the NRL, Joe Lovodua, will wear the number 14 shirt, with Jordan Johnstone dropping to number 21.
The other changes see Mitieli Vulikijapani move up to 25 to replace the departed Masi Matongo. Marcus Walker also gets the 26 shirt from Jude Ferriera.
Jacob Hookem and Aidan Burrell have been given 27 and 28 respectively.
Brett Hodgson’s side are looking to improve in 2022. They started brightly in 2021, but their season ended up fizzling out, and they ended up finishing outside of the playoff spots.
