Last updated:

Jets: Newtown are unchanged following their win over North Sydney Bears, with skipper Billy Burns lining up in the second row and grand final player of the match Niwhai Puru at halfback. The NSW side have plenty of NRL experience in their squad, including front rower Braden Hamlin-Uele and young gun winger Samuel Stonestreet. Five-eighth Khaled Rajab will be given every chance to prove his fitness and is being monitored as he rehabs a shoulder injury.

Devils: Norths have named the same squad that overcame Redcliffe in their Hostplus Cup decider a fortnight ago. Duncan Hall Medal winner Tesi Niu starts at centre following his two-try performance at Kayo Stadium. Dolphins contracted forwards Mason Teague and Oryn Keeley line up in the backrow, with Titans-bound forward and Hostplus Cup prop of the year Tukimihia Simpkins to start.
