The Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys have announced their teams for the 2015 NRL Grand Final to be played this Sunday at ANZ Stadium in Sydney.

Justin Hodges has been named in the centres for Brisbane, but will have to get off a dangerous throw charge at the judiciary on Tuesday night if he is to take part in the game.

Hodges announced his retirement from the NRL this year, and if he plays in the grand final it would be his final game of rugby league.

Centre Dale Copley has been named on an extended bench for the Broncos in case the Brisbane skipper fails to beat the charge from his tackle on Roosters backrower Aidan Guerra in the preliminary final against the Roosters.

Aside from Hodges, there are no changes or potential changes for either side from the teams that took the field for the preliminary finals, with Johnathan Thurston expected to take the field despite some niggling leg injuries.

If Hodges is ruled out, it is expected the Broncos 2014 co-captain Corey Parker will be named as captain of the side.

Utility Ray Thompson has been named on an extended bench for the Cowboys.
