SuperCoach: In a major to blow to owners Tevita Pangai Jnr makes his return from injury off the bench, although it’s better than missing the side altogether. Jonus Pearson and Tom Opacic replace Corey Oates and James Roberts (both Origin) in the backline. Jake Turpin starts at hooker and would be a great nuff option if the majority of SuperCoaches hadn’t already locked in Damien Cook and Cameron Smith. Kotoni Staggs returns from injury and will give those who held a few valuable points, although presumably minimal.
