The teams for the NRL grand final have been locked in, with the Sydney Roosters and Canberra Raiders set to square off for the right to be crowned champions.
The Sydney Roosters have made one late switch, with Jake Friend included on the Roosters bench.

The co-captain, who hasn’t been sighted on a rugby league field for weeks, was touted as a chance to return for the preliminary final last weekend, however, was left out by coach Trent Robinson.
The hooker replaced Zane Tetevano in a surprise move on the interchange bench, with the Roosters otherwise unchanged as they attempt to be the first team to back-to-back in a unified competition since the Brisbane Broncos did it in 1992 and 1993.
Tetevano being dropped from the 17 means Nat Butcher survives on the bench alongside Angus Crichton and Siosiua Taukeiaho.
On the other side of the park, the Raiders are completely unchanged, with Ricky Stuart not needing any of the reserves he had named on Tuesday.
The final two men to drop off the extended bench an hour before kick-off are Ryan Sutton and Siliva Havili.
Canberra had some question marks hovering over Jack Wighton and Joey Leilua earlier in the week, however, both have proven their fitness for the decider and will line up in the halves, and at centre respectively.
