Broncos: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Selwyn Cobbo 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Gehamat Shibasaki 5. Jesse Arthars 6. Ben Hunt 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Patrick Carrigan 9. Cory Paix 10. Payne Haas 11. Jack Gosiewski 12. Jaiyden Hunt 13. Kobe Hetherington 14. Billy Walters 15. Corey Jensen 16. Xavier Willison 17. Martin Taupau 18. Tyson Smoothy 19. Deine Mariner 20. Jock Madden 21. Benjamin Te Kura 22. Blake Mozer
Adam Reynolds has been named in his starting halfback role despite suffering a hamstring strain against the Tigers that ended his game early.
Back-rower Jordan Riki has another match to serve for a grade-two careless high tackle, and Brendan Piakura has also been sidelined with suspension. That means Jaiyden Hunt is in the starting side, and Martin Taupau comes onto the bench
Roosters: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Billy Smith 4. Robert Toia 5. Dominic Young 6. Sandon Smith 7. Hugo Savala 8. Nat Butcher 9. Connor Watson 10. Naufahu Whyte 11. Angus Crichton 12. Siua Wong 13. Victor Radley 14. Zach Dockar-Clay 15. Salesi Foketi 16. Blake Steep 17. Spencer Leniu 18. Mark Nawaqanitawase 19. Taylor Losalu 20. Ethan King 21. Chad Townsend 22. Makahesi Makatoa
Veteran halfback Chad Townsend has been dropped from the side to the extended reserves, making way for youngster Hugo Savala.
Victor Radley is set to make an early return from a cheekbone injury and has been named at lock. However, Lindsay Collins (knee) is set to be out for six weeks, with Nat Butcher starting at prop, while Spencer Leniu returns via the bench.
Mark Nawaqanitawase was a late scratching for the loss to Souths with a calf complaint but returns this week as the 18th man – although he could force his way into the starting side if he proves his fitness later in the week.
