Brisbane Broncos v St George Illawarra Dragons

Final teams in for Friday night's blockbuster

Brisbane have made their signature move this week with Sam Thaiday to start at hooker for Ben Hunt who is benched. Otherwise there are no changes to the 17.

Dragons - big changes. Nene Macdonald is out, Euan Aitken comes in for him in the backline, shifting Dugan to the wing. Sims starts for Ah Mau in the front row, while McCrone and Matthews take the final two places on the interchange, Milne and Sele dropping out.
