Last updated:

Titans: A late change for Des Hasler with Alofiana Khan-Pereira back in the side after two weeks in the Hostplus Cup. He will come from the bench in No.20. Jaimin Jolliffe has been promoted to start in place of Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, with the skipper set to back up his Origin heroics from the bench. David Fifita comes from the bench in his return from an ankle injury that has sidelined him since Round 8 while Jayden Campbell (concussion) is back on deck at halfback. 

Broncos: Pat Carrigan and Gehamat Shibasaki are on track to back up from Origin III, however Payne Haas won't play. The prop managed a back injury leading into Wednesday's decider and has been rested from Sunday's match. Kobe Hetherington comes into the starting side as a result, with Ben Talty added to the bench. Reece Walsh is back in the No.1 jersey while veteran playmaker Ben Hunt returns at hooker after missing six games with a hamstring injury.
