Chris Butler is the man in charge of this one this evening. Belinda Sharpe and Chris Sutton are on the sideline with Ash Klein in the bunker tonight.

We welcome you to BlueBet Stadium where the home side is in a celebratory mood as they'll be presented with the minor premiership. Penrith do have some late changes with Staines and Martin OUT, Chris Smith takes his place, Hopgood covers Staines. Changes aplenty for the Warriors. After initially being named on Tuesday, Euan Aitken withdrew that night for personal reasons. Katoa moves into the starting back row. Elsewhere, Marcelo Montoya and Wayde Egan are both omissions as well, with Pompey (centre) and Lussick (hooker) coming into the side. Afoa is benched with Lui starting lock, while BMM and Otukolo fill the remaining vacant bench spots.
