After 26 rounds of matches the NRL Finals set to kick off with a mouth‑watering clash between the Roosters and Broncos.
The winner of Friday's match will earn a much‑needed week off while the loser will receive a second chance at home in Week Two of the finals.
Both teams head into the qualifying final with winning form after the Roosters survived a scare to scrape past the Titans while the Broncos did enough to see off fierce rivals the Cowboys in Townsville.
The news is not so good for the Broncos who have been forced to reshuffle their spine with skipper Darius Boyd (hamstring) replaced at fullback by Kodi Nikorima whose place in the halves is set to be filled by veteran Benji Marshall.
The Broncos will face the Roosters at 9.55pm Friday.
