With six rounds remaining until the finals the intensity will rise in Round 22 as a host of key men including Ryan Papenhuyzen, Jahream Bula and Kodi Nikorima return from injury.
Papenhuyzen has four games with a calf injury while Bula’s hamstring has kept him out since Round 16.
The Dolphins head to Auckland fresh off a bye and meet a Warriors side missing three of its stars in James Fisher-Harris, Chanel Harris-Tavita and Wayde Egan.

Eels: Back-rower Kelma Tuilagi could be a late call-up after being named in the extended squad following his three-game suspension for a crusher tackle. Dylan Brown and Bailey Simonsson are also among the reserves. Josh Addo-Carr has scored five tries in four games against the Storm.
Storm: Star playmaker Cameron Munster (personal leave) returns to partner with Tyran Wishart in the halves. “They’re both probably similar, their strength is their running game, someone will have to take charge and I think Munster’s up for that. He’ll look forward to the challenge,” coach Craig Bellamy said on Wednesday. Fullback Ryan Papenhuyen is back after four games out with a calf injury while hard-working forward Alec MacDonald is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a rib injury.Â

Broncos: Wingers Jesse Arthars and Josiah Karapani have paid the price for the shock loss to the Eels with Selwyn Cobbo recalled for his first game since Round 18 and Deine Mariner also coming back in. Ben Hunt plays his 200th game for the Broncos, taking his career tally to 347.
Rabbitohs: After making his NRL debut last week Ashton Ward could find himself starting in the halves after Jack Wighton was found guilty of a Grade 2 Shoulder Charge at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night and suspended for four matches. Bayleigh Bentley-Hape returns from a groin injury on the wing while halfback Jamie Humphreys (concussion) is also back on deck.Â

Titans: Sam Verrills returns from personal leave after the birth of his first child and takes over at hooker from Chris Randall (concussion protocols). Alofiana Khan-Pereira is listed among the reserves as he looks to force his way back into the side. The speedster sat on the interchange bench in Round 19 and 20 but did not make it onto the field.
Panthers: Star back-rower Liam Martin has been named to start after coming off the bench last week in his return from a wrist injury. Isaiah Papali’i slides back to the bench. The Panthers have conceded only 70 points in their last seven games.

Sea Eagles: Five-eighth Luke Brooks lines up for career game No.250 as Manly look to bounce back after a big loss to the Bulldogs. Corey Waddell starts the game in the back row in place of Haumole Olakau’atu (shoulder). Jake Simpkin returns from the concussion protocols on the bench with Tommy Talau also coming in for his first game since Round 18.Â
Roosters: Billy Smith (concussion) and Hugo Savala (wrist) are back on deck so Ethan King moves 18th man while Sandon Smith has entered the concussion protocols. Salesi Foketi and Spencer Leniu go back to the bench after starting last week although a late switch with Siua Wong and Egan Butcher could again be on the cards. Victor Radley is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a shoulder injury.

Wests Tigers: Star fullback Jahream Bula returns after five games out with a hamstring injury so Sunia Turuva goes back to the wing. Back-rower Samuela Fainu (knee) also returns so Tony Sukkar reverts to the bench. Royce Hunt has been added to the bench and Jack Bird is out.
Bulldogs: With Connor Tracey facing 3-4 weeks out with an abdominal injury, Jacob Kiraz slides to fullback and Jethro Rinakama comes in on the wing. No other changes to the side that took care of Manly in dominant fashion in Round 21. Josh Curran reaches the milestone of 100 NRL games.

Sharks: Centre Siosifa Talakai (illness) and back-rower Briton Nikora (concussion) are back on deck after missing the Souths game. Big man Tom Hazelton is listed among the reserves as he closes in on a return from a collarbone injury. The Sharks have won 13 of their past 15 games against the Cowboys.
Cowboys: Jake Clifford is back in the No.7 jersey after recovering from a quad injury. He takes over from Tom Duffy, who re-injured his quad against the Dragons but bravely finished the match to help steer the Cowboys to victory. After 44 games across three seasons in Qld Cup, Tanzanian-born Emarly Bitungane will make his NRL debut off the bench.
