The Roosters disposed of Penrith on Monday night and apart from a close loss to Souths, have been good all season. Canberra dropped off against St George Illawarra in round three, in a game they should have won.
Stuart has made a number of changes to try and spark his team. Jack Wighton is back from his fractured eye socket.
Jordan Rapana moves back to the wing to accomodate Wighton, with Bill Tupou dropping out. Glen Buttriss comes onto the bench for Josh McCrone while Dane Tilse and Shaun Fensom start in the forward pack in place of Shannon Boyd and Paul Vaughan, who both return to the bench.
The Roosters are unchanged from Monday. It will be a big game for centre Blake Ferguson, who was kicked out of Canberra over a year ago.
