Raiders: Representative prop Josh Papalii returns after being sideline with concussion and will slot straight in to start in the front row. Morgan Smithies moves to the interchange bench, while Matt Timoko shuffles down to 19th player.Â
Bulldogs: Enari Tuala comes in for his first appearance of 2026, slotting in at centre with Bronson Xerri omitted. Tuala’s elevation to the starting side brings in off-season recruit Sean O’Sullivan to the extended bench as the 19th player. No other changes from the side that got the job done in a close contest against the Dragons in Las Vegas.

Roosters: Home fans will get their first sighting of off-season recruit Reece Robson who has been named to make an early return from a thumb injury. With the NSW hooker set to star, this pushes Benaiah Ioelu to the extended bench. Coach Trent Robinson has otherwise made no further changes to the side that beat arch rivals the Rabbitohs in a historic match last round.Â
Panthers: Liam Martin makes a welcome return after overcoming a calf complaint. This shifts Luke Garner to the bench. Jack Cogger has been omitted following a head knock, moving Freddy Lussick to the interchange. Kalani Going remains on the six-person bench along with Izack Tago.

Storm: Back-rower Trent Loiero has served the two-game ban he received in the 2025 grand final and comes onto the interchange bench in place of Jack Hetherington. Lock Alec MacDonald is part of the extended squad as he looks to return from concussion but Shawn Blore faces more time on the sideline after injuring his ankle in NSW Cup last weekend. Rising star Cooper Clarke retains his place on the bench.
Broncos: With former Storm man Grant Anderson named to make his Broncos debut on the wing, Deine Mariner moves to centre and Gehamat Shibasaki drops to the interchange bench. Skipper Adam Reynolds has been named to play despite suffering a rib injury against the Eels but back-rower Jack Gosiewski (HIA protocols) won’t take his place so Xavier Willison starts the game. Cook Islands star Brendan Piakura is listed in No.18 as he looks to return from a knee injury.

Knights: Fletcher Sharpe is back from a knee injury suffered in Las Vegas to take over at five-eighth from Dylan Brown, who is facing a month out with a knee injury. Sandon Smith moves to halfback. Fletcher Hunt is the new fullback with skipper Kalyn Ponga gone for 6-8 weeks with a hamstring injury. Veteran prop Jacob Saifiti takes over as skipper. Francis Manuleleua and Thomas Cant are the No.14 and No.17 and hoping to get a shot this weekend after the injury reshuffle left them sidelined at 4 Pines Park.Â
Warriors: Coach Andrew Webster has been forced into a number of changes with Kurt Capewell nursing a calf injury and Chanel Harris-Tavita and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad entering the concussion protocols. Taine Tuaupiki is the new fullback while Luke Hanson makes his NRL debut at five-eighth and Marata Niukore joins the bench having overcome a calf injury. Rep forward Mitch Barnett has been named in the extended squad as he nears a return from an ACL injury.

Dolphins: Some early-season stability for Kristian Woolf with the same starting side named to travel to Cronulla on Saturday evening. Just the one change on the six-man interchange with Sebastian Su’a replacing Brian Pouniu.

Rabbitohs: Jamie Humphreys returns from suspension to take over the No.7 jersey with Jayden Sullivan sliding to the bench. Also moving to the bench is Euan Aitken, replaced in the starting back row by Tallis Duncan.Â
Wests Tigers: The loss of Taylan May (shoulder) sees Jeral Skelton start at centre after an impressive 64 minutes off the extended bench last week. Jock Madden is again named in No.14 and will be hoping for some game time after last week’s reshuffle left him on the sideline. Former Warrior and Titan Patrick Herbert has been named in No.19 as he chases a first NRL appearace since 2022.

Eels: Just the one change to the side that stunned the Broncos. Prop J’maine Hopgood returns from suspension so Jack Williams slides to lock and Jack de Belin goes to the six-man bench for the clash with his former club.
Dragons: A triple boost for the Red V with hooker Jacob Liddle set to return from a hamstring injury and halves Kyle Flanagan (ankle) and Daniel Atkinson (ankle) good to go despite looking to be in some discomfort at WIN Stadium last week. Damien Cook left the field for a HIA inside the last 15 minutes against the Storm but has been named to start.

Cowboys: Skipper Reuben Cotter returns after missing the trip to Leichhardt last weekend for family reasons. Kai O’Donnell moves back to the bench and Matt Lodge goes to the reserves. Zac Laybutt has served a suspension and is listed in jersey No.18.
Titans: A welcome sight on the six-man interchange list with star playmaker Jayden Campbell closing in on his first game of the season after overcoming a hamstring injury. Campbell’s return would pose an interesting dilemma for coach Josh Hannay with Keano Kini locked in at fullback and AJ Brimson and Lachlan Ilias currently in the halves. Luke Sommerton and Jensen Taumoepeau are anticipated to get significant game time back in Hostplus Cup after being part of Gold Coast’s bench last Sunday.
