The Penrith Panthers have made a late change to their 17 ahead of tonight’s NRL grand final against the Melbourne Storm.

Despite initially naming an unchanged line-up when teams were first revealed on Tuesday, coach Ivan Cleary has elected to put Brent Naden back on the bench and swap Tyrone May into the starting line-up.

Naden was named on the bench for Penrith’s preliminary final against South Sydney, but didn’t see a minute of action – leading to plenty of surprise when he was given the no.3 jersey when teams were first announced.

The Storm are unchanged from Tuesday’s line-up.
