Brothers premiership captain Noah Nielsen will return for the defending champions this weekend in their blockbuster StoreLocal Grand Final rematch against Wests at Sylvan Road.
Nielsen has missed the previous handful of games, but has returned in time for the cruch game against the Bulldogs at Sylvan Road.
Brothers have made two other changes for the contest with Dre Pakeho returning to inside centres meaning Paddy James has moved into the 10 spot in place of Harry Grant and George Tuineau shifting to loosehead prop for Harrison Lloyd.
For Wests, Jake Barry and Aiden Latter will pack down in the front row with James Marterns returning to scrumhalf with Louis Werchon travelling with the Queensland Reds. Lebron Naea returns to partner Charlie Tupu in the centres.
Elsewhere, Pio Nakubuwai has returned to the starting XV for Easts with Jordan Carriera shifting to fullback. Frankie Goldsborough has been named among the reserves.
Souths have been boosted by the return for Connor Vest – named at number eight – and Harry McLaughlin-Phillips at flyhalf for their clash against Sunnybank at Chipsy Wood. The inclusions, which also includes Tye James on the wing, bolster a strong Souths outfit which started the season well but are coming a loss against University last week.
