Brisbane have named an unchanged 17-man squad for their NRL away clash with South Sydney in Perth on Friday night.
Winger Gerard Beale has been named in the starting side, despite being told by the club on Monday it had withdrawn a contract extension offer.
Beale has been strongly linked with St George Illawarra, who are looking for a fullback following the departure this season of Test No.1 Darius Boyd.
Brisbane will head to Perth hoping to avenge their loss to the Rabbitohs in last year’s corresponding game at nib Stadium.
That game was played in atrocious conditions after a savage storm just before kick-off.
The looming clash between Queensland Origin teammates, Brisbane’s Justin Hodges and South Sydney’s Greg Inglis, will be one of the features in two sides coming off last-start wins.
