Excitement Machine,Ezra Mam,Izaac Thompson

The Broncos have received a double boost for Friday night’s blockbuster clash against the Roosters in what will be their first meeting following what went down in Las Vegas.

The Storm have lost the game’s most clutch player in 2024, but an excitement machine is lurking on the bench.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has made a stack of changes to the side that was belted at home last week, with rookie fullback Chevy Stuart replaced by Albert Hopoate, while James Schiller has been dropped with Nick Cotric to start on the wing. Sunia Turuva is back on the wing for Penrith after he was given the night off in Townsville following a draining week in which it was announced he was moving to the Wests Tigers in 2025.

The Storm have suffered a blow with try-scoring machine Xavier Coates set to miss the trip to the Gold Coast, with Tyran Wishart named in his place, although Sua Fa’alogo is in the reserves and could come into the side.
