He will also pass Whitaker for the most appearances as NSW captain with his 41st appearance.
There will be 7,500 Phil Waugh masks given away to spectators on the way into the ground.
Prop Al Baxter will also reach a milestone with his 107th NSW cap, taking him past David Lyons into fourth on the all-time list.
