Rabbitohs: Keaon Koloamatangi is on track for an early return from an ankle injury that threatened to end his season after remaining in the squad when it was cut to 19 players on Thursday night. However, Latrell Mitchell’s comeback from a pinched nerve in his back has been put on hold until the last game of the season. Bayleigh Bentley-Hape has also been ruled out after being placed in the concussion protocol, with Tallis Duncan to line up in the centres after switching mid-game last week. Lachlan Hubner is back on deck and will line up at lock, with Jai Arrow shifting to the second row. Coach Wayne Bennett confirmed on Wednesday that Cody Walker will again come off the bench after last week’s return from injury.
Dragons: Young gun Jacob Halangahu is set to start for the first time in his NRL career as St George Illawarra navigate a growing injury crisis. The Dragons will be without Jack de Belin, Hamish Stewart and Hame Sele, who all suffered concussions last week. Ben Murdoch-Masila will also start in the back row, with Blake Lawrie and Tyrell Sloan coming on to the bench.

Panthers: Isaah Yeo is on track to return for Friday night’s blockbuster in Mudgee, with the co-captain set to come into the 17 after being named in the reserves on Tuesday. The lock’s return would prompt a minor forward pack reshuffle, with Isaiah Papali’i the man likely to make way if Yeo starts.
Raiders: Ricky Stuart has opted against rushing back Matty Nicholson and Savelio Tamale as they near a return from leg injuries. The Raiders coach has instead gone with the same 17 that got the job done against Manly before last week’s bye, with Ethan Strange and Jamal Fogarty to steer the ship in the halves.

Storm: Ryan Papenhuyzen and Nelson Asofa-Solomona remain in the extended squad as they push to return to the NRL side. Papenhuyzen missed last week’s win over Penrith with a concussion while Asofa-Solomona has spent the past two weeks in Queensland Cup after serving a suspension. Shawn Blore has also been ruled out, with Joe Chan set to start in the back row and Bronson Garlick coming on to the bench.
Bulldogs: Back-rower Sitili Tupouniua (hamstring) and winger Marcelo Montoya (neck) are also pushing to return from injury this weekend and have been listed in the extended squad for Friday’s clash. Coach Cameron Ciraldo foreshadowed the pair’s return in last week’s post-game press conference and they should come into the side if cleared to play. The Bulldogs have a good record at AAMI Park but have lost eight of their last nine games against the Storm.

Sea Eagles: Daly Cherry-Evans will line up at halfback as he becomes just the fifth person to play 350 NRL games. The veteran will link up with Luke Brooks in the halves. A shoulder injury to Reuben Garrick has seen Tommy Talau shift from the bench to the centres with Aaron Schoupp coming on to the interchange. Jake Trbojevic remains sidelined with a concussion and he could sit out the remainder of the season as the club takes a cautious approach to his return.
Dolphins: Trai Fuller is set to play the role of supersub after shifting to the interchange, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow returning to fullback. Max Feagai is straight into the centres in his return from a shoulder injury. Felise Kaufusi and Francis Molo are also back from suspension and set to start in the front row for Saturday’s must-win clash.

Titans: Big blow for the Titans with Jaimin Jolliffe (knee) and David Fifita (ankle) ruled out for the remainder of the season. Reagan Campbell-Gillard is set to start at prop, while centres Brian Kelly (concussion) and Jojo Fifita (ankle), and bench utility Klese Haas (personal reasons) are all on track to return on Saturday afternoon.
Warriors: Andrew Webster’s men continue to welcome back the troops as they look to secure a top-four finish. Kurt Capewell (concussion), Te Maire Martin (concussion) and Rocco Berry (shoulder) are all set to return this weekend. Berry’s return allows Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad to shift to fullback, while Capewell will start in the back row and Martin is on track to come off the bench. Jackson Ford will miss the clash after he was suspended for three weeks.

Wests Tigers: Centre Starford To’a is on track to take his place in the team despite leaving the field early last week with a shoulder injury. Brent Naden will likely come into the side should To’a be a late withdrawal. No other changes as the Tigers battle to keep their slim finals hopes alive.
Cowboys: North Queensland are also settled after last week’s win over Newcastle. No changes to the 17, with Kai O’Donnell set to play the role of 18th man.
