NRL Late Mail: Grand Final

Panthers v Broncos, Sunday at Accor Stadium

Panthers: The premiers are 1-17 with no late changes. Five-eighth Jarome Luai (shoulder) is not 100 percent but will line up with Jack Cogger coming off the bench as a back-up for the Samoan international. Izack Tago (pectoral) got through the match last week and is good to go. Tyrone Peachey is 18th Man.

Broncos: The Broncos are 1-17 with no late changes. England centre Herbie Farnworth was given the all clear to take his place after completing the captain's run on Saturday. Farnworth left training on Monday with a hamstring injury. Broncos coach Kevin Walters said: "He's fine. He was just all a bit tight earlier in the week. Everyone's right to go again, which is great. We've got our best 17 out there and are ready to go." Corey Oates is 18th Man and Martin Taupau was the last man omitted an hour before kick-off.
