Final team lists for NRL State Championship

The final team lists are in for the 2023 NRL State Championship.

Brisbane Tigers coach Matt Church has made one change to the original team named on Tuesday, with Jack Miers - in No.18 - to start at hooker and Cole Geyer to come off the bench.

Miers replaces Tristan Hope from the Hostplus Cup grand final team, after the rake was suspended for dangerous contact.

Tahj Wood will start at fullback in place of retiring veteran Corey Thompson, who misses today's clash due to a family commitment.

Jack Natapu meanwhile moves to 18th man, with Melbourne Storm affiliate Marion Seve on the bench.

The NRL State Championship will kick off at 12.20pm AEST (1.20pm AEDT).

Here are the final team lists.
