Wests Tigers: Benji Marshall has shaken up his backline, with centre Starford To’a set for his first NRL appearance of the season and Perth-bound winger Luke Laulilii coming into the side at the expense of Heamasi Makasini and Patrick Herbert, who moves to the interchange. The pair’s inclusion has seen Latu Fainu drop off the six-man bench and back to the reserves. 

Raiders: The loss of Hudson Young to suspension sees Noah Martin join the starting side. Veteran prop Josh Papalii is out with a calf injury so Joe Roddy is the new man on the bench along with Daine Laurie while Chevy Stuart and Savelio Tamale are part of the six-man bench.

Cowboys: Star winger Murray Taulagi, hooker Reed Mahoney and back-rower Jeremiah Nanai are all back on deck this Friday as North Queensland look to bounce back from last week’s loss to Manly. Nanai will make his first appearance of the year after undergoing off-season shoulder surgery in a big boost for Todd Payten. Taulagi and Mahoney suffered head knocks in the Round 6 win over Brisbane and sat out Round 7. Taulagi’s return sees Zac Laybutt shift to the reserves, while Mahoney slots straight into the No.9 jersey and Soni Luke moves to the interchange.  

Sharks: A huge boost for the Sharks with captain Cam McInnes named to return ahead of schedule from an ACL injury. McInnes’ last game was Round 24 last year against the Titans. Siosifa Talakai moves into the starting side at centre, Mawene Hiroti shifts to the wing and Sione Katoa drops to the reserves. The new faces on the six-man bench are Hohepa Puru and Tukupa-Ke Hau Tapuha.

Broncos: With Payne Haas (knee) and Corey Jensen (pulmonary embolism) sidelined, Michael Maguire’s new-look front row includes Ben Talty and Jack Gosiewksi as starting props and the returning Cory Paix (head knock) at hooker. Josh Rogers goes back to the bench alongside Jaiyden Hunt, Preston Riki and VJ Semu, who makes his NRL debut.

Bulldogs: Skipper Stephen Crichton is back after missing two games with a shoulder injury so Josh Curran reverts to the bench. The loss Jacob Kiraz to a knee injury means Jonathan Sua will start the game after getting 35 minutes of game time off the bench last week. Jake Turpin has been added to the bench.

Dragons: Youngster Kade Reed has been named to make his NRL debut at halfback. The 20-year-old played 16 Jersey Flegg matches in 2025 before making his NSW Cup debut in Round 26 against the Bulldogs. He scored a try in the Dragons’ Pre-Season Challenge win over the Knights and has had five try assists in four NSW Cup games this season. Reed comes in for Kyle Flanagan, who drops to the extended bench. Moses Suli (eye socket) returns in the centres so Mat Feagai goes to the wing and David Fale (hamstring) drops out. Ryan Couchman returns from suspension to fill the void left by Jaydn Su’A, who has been banned for three games for his high shot on Cameron Murray. Winger Christian Tuipulotu is listed among the reserves as he targets a return from a knee injury.

Roosters: Just the one change to the 19-man squad that took care of the Knights last Sunday with centre Billy Smith looking to return from a knee injury. Tommy Talau drops to the reserves.

Dolphins: Brad Schneider is the new five-eighth in the absence of Kodi Nikorima (suspended). Trai Fuller gets a call-up to the bench with Schneider moving to the starting side. Lewis Symonds and Tevita Naufahu join the extended bench.

Storm: Despite coming off five straight losses the Storm have stuck with the same 19-man squad that went down to the Raiders. Nick Meaney has been named on the wing with Manaia Waitere in the centres but they may swap on game day as they did in Round 7. Davvy Moale is listed in jersey No.17 and is line for his fourth appearance of the season after he and Hugo Peel weren’t used last week.

Rabbitohs: Bronson Garlick is named to start at hooker and Brandon Smith in the back row in the only tweak to last week’s starting side. Euan Aitken has been added to the six-man bench as he chases a first appearance since Round 2 following a leg injury.

Former Tiger and Panther Asu Kepaoa is part of the six-man bench and could make his club debut.

Panthers: Casey McLean is back from a one-game suspension so Izack Tago goes back to the bench. Freddy Lussick steps in at hooker for Mitch Kenny, who is facing an extended stint on the sidelines with a leg fracture and syndesmosis injury. Jack Cogger has been named in the No.14 jersey and Jack Cole is part of the extended bench.

Sea Eagles: Tolu Koula slides straight into the No.1 jumper in place of injured skipper Tom Trbojevic (hamstring). Clayton Faulalo comes into the centres as a result, after filling in off the interchange last week. Emerging centre Josh Feledy is the new face on the six-man bench, while young prop Simione Laiafi also comes on to the interchange in place of Jackson Shereb. Manly are otherwise settled as they look to continue an unbeaten start to Kieran Foran’s coaching career. 

Eels: Centre Sean Russell and back-rower Kelma Tuilagi are both named to return from concussion in a double boost for the Eels. Araz Nanva and Teancum Brown are the men to make way from the squad.Â
