Storm<\/a> and should hold his place on the other wing.<\/p>\nForwards\u00a0Sam Hughes\u00a0(neck) and\u00a0Josh Curran (ribs) are close to returns which is just as well given Jacob Preston\u00a0broke his forearm against the Storm and is expected to be out for up to eight weeks.<\/p>\n
A late change saw Kurt Mann start at hooker against the Storm and there’s every chance he’ll do so again with\u00a0Bailey Hayward to come off the bench.<\/p>\n
Melbourne Storm vs. Sydney Roosters(Saturday, May 30 at AAMI Park, 7:35pm AEST)<\/p>\n

Storm team news:<\/p>\n
The Storm gave up yet another half time lead against the Bulldogs and could be desperate to have Cameron Munster,\u00a0\u00a0Harry Grant and Trent Loiero\u00a0back on deck in Round 13 after Origin I.<\/p>\n
Given Melbourne is now teetering three wins outside the top eight any temptation to rest their stars may be outweighed by the need for NRL premiership points.<\/p>\n
One player who definitely won’t be there is\u00a0Shawn Blore\u00a0who has been ruled out after a Cat 1 HIA against the Bulldogs. One player who could be a surprise inclusion is\u00a0Xavier\u00a0Coates who is getting close to a return from Achilles surgery in February.<\/p>\n

Roosters team news:<\/p>\n
Like the Storm, the Roosters have several stars who will be hoping to back up after Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Away from their Origin players,\u00a0Daniel Tupou\u00a0suffered a calf injury in Round 11 and is in doubt while fellow winger\u00a0Cody Ramsey (concussion) should be available.<\/p>\n
Mark\u00a0Nawaqanitawase (ankle) is said to be eyeing a return in Round 15.<\/p>\n

Broncos team news:<\/p>\n
Kotoni Staggs\u00a0should return to the Broncos line-up for the first time since he copped a two-match ban before Origin I, with Jesse Arthars\u00a0likely shifting to the wing and teenager\u00a0Phil Coates heading back to Q Cup.<\/p>\n
Superstar prop\u00a0Payne Haas (knee) is a chance to return while\u00a0Jack Gosiewski (concussion),\u00a0Blake Mozer (jaw) and\u00a0Benjamin\u00a0Te Kura could all be available.<\/p>\n
Back rower Jordan Riki has had surgery to relieve a plantar fasciitis issue in his foot and will miss multiple weeks.<\/p>\n
In bad news for the Dragons fullback Reece Walsh could be on a mission after being overlooked for the Queensland Maroons side for Origin Game I.<\/p>\n
St. George Illawarra predicted team:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Clint Gutherson\u00a0
2. Setu Tu

Dragons team news:<\/p>\n
Jaydn\u00a0Su’A injured his calf ahead of Round 12 and is likely to miss a month or more of action.<\/p>\n
Young centre Hayden Buchanan suffered a shoulder dislocation against the Wahs and is awaiting scan results to determine a recovery timeline.<\/p>\n
Given their issues in the centres the Dragons will be desperately hoping\u00a0Moses Suli (back) is available to fill the void but there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n
Canberra Raiders vs. North Queensland Cowboys(Sunday, May 31 at GIO Stadium, 4:05pm AEST)<\/p>\n
Canberra predicted team:<\/p>\n

Raiders team news:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hudson Young\u00a0and\u00a0Ethan Strange should return from Blues duties pushing\u00a0Ata Mariota and Daine Laurie back to the bench.<\/p>\n
Sebastian Kris (quad) was a late withdrawal last week and could be in some doubt again.<\/p>\n
Owen Pattie started against Dolphins with Tom Starling coming off the bench and it will be interesting to see if Ricky Start opts to repeat the tactic.<\/p>\n
North Queensland predicted team:<\/p>\n

Cowboys team news:<\/p>\n
Reuben Cotter should return from the Maroons at lock, pushing\u00a0Jason\u00a0Taumalolo\u00a0back into the front row and\u00a0Matthew Lodge to the bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Murray\u00a0Taulagi (concussion) may return to the wing relegating\u00a0Robert Derby to the bench, or out of the 19 entirely.<\/p>\n
Penrith Panthers vs. New Zealand Warriors(Sunday, May 31 at CommBank Stadium, 6:15pm AEST)<\/p>\n

Panthers team news:<\/p>\n
Penrith faces one of its stiffest tests to date against the second-placed Warriors with both clubs on the Origin back-up.<\/p>\n
In past years Ivan Cleary has rested many of his Blues stars after Origin and with the Panthers sitting on top of the NRL table he may well do the same again.<\/p>\n
Warriors predicted team:<\/p>\n
1. Taine Tuaupiki
2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak\u00a0
3. Ali Leiataua

Warriors team news:<\/p>\n
Forwards Kurt Capewell and\u00a0Mitch Barnett\u00a0will be backing up from Origin duties.<\/p>\n
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck\u00a0(knee) is likely out with either\u00a0Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (neck) or\u00a0Adam Pompey set to replace him in the centres.<\/p>\n
Eddie Ieremia-Toeava\u00a0suffered a nasty head knock against the Dragons and is in concussion protocols.<\/p>\n
