BRISBANE will be without premiership pair Cam Rayner and Logan Morris for its hitout on Wednesday night against Carlton, which will welcome back former No.3 pick Jagga Smith following a serious knee injury.
Rayner and Morris have both been managed by the Lions - Origin pair Hugh McCluggage and Charlie Cameron are also missing - for the match simulation at Brighton Homes Arena, with star recruit Oscar Allen to play his first proper game in Lions colours.

The return of young gun Smith for the first time in 12 months will be a boost for Blues fans, although Nic Newman's absence will continue as he continues his comeback from a knee injury.
Unsigned pair Elijah Hollands and Wade Derksen will also play for the Blues as they chase a rookie list spot at Carlton ahead of next month's summer signing deadline.
Ollie Florent, Will Hayward, Ben Ainsworth, Campbell Chesser and Liam Reidy will all play their first games in navy blue after off-season moves.
Lions recruit Sam Draper and Carlton defender Jacob Weitering are also absent as they continue to rehab recent injuries ahead of the season proper.
