The only other real shock is Origin forward Ben Hannant on the bench for the season opener at Suncorp Stadium.

Griffin has preferred to shift captain Sam Thaiday to prop to make room for talented back rower Matt Gillett.

Josh McGuire is the other starting prop.

The Broncos have named a five-man bench including utility Ben Hunt and 2006 premiership winner David Stagg for a match that starts at the unusual time of 7pm.
