ANZAC Ceremony about to begin

So many storylines to follow tonight. Te Maire Martin makes his return after his career seemed over after his early retirement, so if your looking for a feel-good story there's your one to follow. Canterbury have been ravaged by COVID this week with an almost completely new back 5. It was a close one when these sides played in Rd 2, will it be the same tonight?

Welcome to League Unlimited's coverage of Friday Night Football and it's a match between two desperate sides in Brisbane and Canterbury. Both sides coming in on long losing streaks and for one it will be broken tonight. Brisbane only has one change as per The Front Row which sees Billy Walters earn the start at hooker with Cory Paix dropping back to the bench. For Canterbury, obviously, the COVID crisis has changed this line-up drastically with two debutants in Jacob Kiraz and Billy Tsikrikas. Kickoff is 20 minutes away on League Unlimited with the pre-match ANZAC service beginning a few minutes prior.
