It will be Dennis Armfield’s swansong on Saturday at the SCG after the retiring veteran was named in the Blues’ line-up to face Sydney.
The 30-year-old comes in for Jack Silvagni, who has undergone surgery on his shoulder this week.
In the Club’s final home and away game for 2017, Blues fans will have the chance to farewell the beloved Armfield, who hangs up the boots after 10 seasons at the Club.
