Last updated:
Panthers: Winger Taylan May has failed to overcome a hamstring injury and will miss the decider. Charlie Staines gets his chance after being on standby for Dylan Edwards in last year's Grand Final. Viliame Kikau and Staines were both charged with shoulder charge offences in the win over the Rabbitohs but are free to play after attracting monetary fines only. Thirteen of the 17 players named on Tuesday took part in last year's Grand Final win over Souths. The new faces are Staines, Izack Tago, Mitch Kenny and Jaeman Salmon.
Eels: Coach Brad Arthur has recalled enforcer Nathan Brown to the interchange for his first game since Round 17 with Bryce Cartwright the man to make way. Centre Tom Opacic has failed to overcome the hamstring injury he suffered in the Semi-Final against Canberra so Bailey Simonsson retains his spot after doing a fine job against the Cowboys. Opacic has been named among the reserves alongside Makahesi Makatoa, Ofahiki Ogden and Ky Rodwell.
