The Broncos are desperate to secure their third World Club Challenge title — while their opponents are making their debut in the showcase event.
Hull KR, led by coach Willie Peters, were handed a big boost on Wednesday with halfback Mikey Lewis free to play after avoiding a ban for a trip.
Brisbane, meanwhile, were handed big boosts of their own with Adam Reynolds and Ben Hunt both overcoming pre-season niggles to be fit to take the field.
