Game-breakers the key: Bennett

Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett says game-breakers like the Broncos' Justin Hodges and Melbourne's Greg Inglis will be the key players in Sunday's Grand Final.

Bennett says while forwards like Shane Webcke are invaluable, it is players like Hodges, Inglis, Brisbane's Karmichael Hunt and the Storm's Billy Slater who make things happen. The Brisbane mentor has told Southern Cross radio both sides' outside backs have the ability to see opportunities and the speed and creativity to take them.

Bennett, who will attempt to win his sixth grand final with the Broncos, also nominated rival hookers Shaun Berrigan and Cameron Smith as key men for their sides.

Hunt remains in the dark as to where he will line up.

As has been the case since he returned from a foot injury towards the end of the regular season, the Australian fullback was again selected on the wing by Bennett. Despite being picked in the number five jumper, Hunt has interchanged with Hodges between wing and fullback throughout the finals series, the two playing half a game each at the back in last week's win over the Bulldogs.

Hodges was brilliant when pushed to fullback as the Broncos scored 31 unanswered points after the break to beat the Bulldogs, with Bennett sure to be tempted to leave him there for the entirety of Sunday's decider.
