Panthers NSW Cup assistant coach Brad Drew has finalised his side to face Newtown Jets at BlueBet Stadium.
The Panthers are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the 2021 season but will have to overcome the odds after being severely impacted by the upgraded NRL COVID-19 protocols.
With coach Peter Wallace and 12 Panthers players who were originally set to face Newtown now unavailable, Drew has taken charge and named a makeshift side consisting of nine St Marys Ron Massey Cup representatives and eight Panthers Jersey Flegg players.
