Wayne Bennett has finalised his team that will face the Roosters on the club's website, with a host of new faces earning a call up for Friday night's clash.

Kotoni Staggs has been named on the bench to make his NRL debut, while former Cowboys' forward Patrick Mago will make his debut for the Broncos.

The 19-year old Staggs dominated the under-20s competition for the Broncos last year, before making an immediate impact for the Redcliffe Dolphins in the Intrust Super Cup this season.

He is currently the competition's leading point scorer, nabbing five tries and 32 goals in just seven appearances for the Dolphins.

Staggs is expected replace Gehamat Shibaskaki, who was named in jersey number 15 earlier this week.
