Overview

• Kick-off is 7:50pm in Round 27, the final weekend of the regular season.
• Brisbane run 1–17 without Gehamat Shibasaki after a disciplinary omission, with Deine Mariner shifting to centre and Jesse Arthars named on the wing.
• The Storm welcome back Jahrome Hughes from injury, with Eli Katoa and Xavier Coates returning after a rest.
• Melbourne make a late tweak with Tui Kamikamica to start at prop and Nelson Asofa-Solomona moving to the bench.
• A Broncos win secures fourth and a trip to Canberra to face the Raiders next week, while a loss leaves them relying on Warriors and Sharks results, with Cronulla needing a huge for-and-against swing to overtake.
