have named the same staring 17 for their clash with Penrith on Sunday afternoon, with an extended bench the only change to the side who defeated the Broncos last weekend.

Bronson Harrison made a successful return for Mounties last weekend after a long layoff with a back injury and has been named in jersey 19, while Jarrad Kennedy has also been included on the bench.

The addition of Harrison and Kennedy is to cover Joe Picker who will be monitored this week after sustaining a concussion against the Broncos, with one of the two dropping off the bench later in the week if Picker is cleared by medical staff.

Trevor Thurling is back on the injury list after his knee injury flared up before he was scheduled to play for Mounties last weekend.
