After a gruelling NRL season the minor premiers Penrith Panthers take on arch rivals the Parramatta Eels in the big dance for a shot at the ultimate prize.
Api Koroisau has been benched with Mitch Kenny to start continuing a recent ploy from Ivan Cleary with the Panthers confirming their team.
For the Eels Marata Niukore will start at lock with Ryan Matterson switching to the bench, while Nathan Brown will come off the pine in his return to the side.
