Late mail team lists - 2020

Cory Paix will step up to start at hooker tonight as the Broncos confirm their 17 to take on the Roosters in Sydney.
Paix has played strongly off the bench in recent months since making his NRL debut against the Roosters in Round 4, and gets his chance to start this week in the absence of Issac Luke (suspension) and Jake Turpin (broken hand).
Elsewhere, Sean O’Sullivan will make his first appearance for the Broncos in almost a year in the No.6 jersey alongside Tom Dearden.
O’Sullivan, who has worked his way back from a knee reconstruction after a ruptured ACL, last started in the NRL in the Broncos’ stirring 17-16 win over Parramatta at Suncorp Stadium in Round 24 last year.
On the bench, Brodie Croft is joined by Ethan Bullemor, Jordan Riki and Jamil Hopoate.
