Bulldogs: Viliame Kikau (pectoral) has been replaced in the back row by Sitili Tupouniua with Josh Curran added to the bench. Enari Tuala’s return on the wing from a hamstring injury sees Marcelo Montoya drop to the bench. The loss of Harry Hayes to suspension brings Lipoi Hopoi into the squad. Utility Sean O’Sullivan is listed among the reserves after serving a suspension incurred in NSW Cup.
Cowboys: Zac Laybutt comes in on the wing for Murray Taulagi (concussion). Jeremiah Nanai is named to start with Thomas Mikaele on the bench but they may swap on game day as they did last week. Teenager Mason Barber is part of the six-man interchange as he closes in on an NRL debut.

Dolphins: A couple of big names appear in the extended squad with winger Jack Bostock (ACL) closing in on his first NRL match since Round 16 last year after returning to the field in Queensland Cup on Anzac Day. Kurt Donoghoe has also been named among the reserves as he looks to return from a hamstring injury for just his second game of the season. The loss of Jake Averillo to a hand injury sees Trai Fuller named at centre while Brad Schneider is five-eighth. Morgan Knowles slots in at lock in his return from a calf injury suffered in Round 7. Oryn Keeley has been added to the bench and last week’s debutant Lewis Symonds retains his place.Â
Storm: Tyran Wishart takes over at halfback from Jahrome Hughes (concussion) while 20-year-old Hugo Peel has been named to make his NRL debut on the wing. Back-rowers Joe Chan, Cooper Clarke and Trent Loiero have been relegated to the bench, replaced in the starting side by Shawn Blore, Alec MacDonald and Ativalu Lisati, who returns from a calf injury. Trent Toelau has also been added to the interchange for his Storm debut after 11 NRL games as a Panther.

Te Maire Martin is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a leg injury.

Roosters: Coach Trent Robinson has the luxury of naming the same squad for the fourth consecutive week as the Roosters chase a fifth win on the trot. Egan Butcher, Benaiah Ioelu and Blake Steep round out the 22-man squad.
Broncos: Some huge ins for Brisbane this week with Reece Walsh back from a facial fracture and foot laceration and Pat Carrigan returning from suspension. With Walsh back as fullback, Hayze Perham moves to the extended bench, where fellow back Jesse Arthars will also make a return from a calf injury. Forward Aublix Tawha (facial fracture) also makes his return via the extended bench, replacing the suspended Preston Riki. With Carrigan starting at lock, Xavier Willison moves to the second row for the injured Brendan Piakura.Â

Knights: Big guns Kalyn Ponga (hamstring) and Bradman Best (groin) return in a huge double boost while winger Greg Marzhew (concussion) is also back on deck. Ponga’s return sees Fletcher Sharpe move to five-eighth and Sandon Smith to the interchange along with Fletcher Hunt. Forwards Dylan Lucas (throat) and Tyson Frizell (ribs) are also good to go.
Rabbitohs: Keaon Koloamatangi has been named to start in the second row in place of Brandon Smith, who has been listed in the reserves. Smith came off early in the big win over Storm with a calf complaint. Jamie Humphreys has also been named to take his place in the halves despite leaving the field in Melbourne with a rib issue. Other changes see Liam Le Blanc and Moala Graham-Taufa come onto the extended bench. Adam Elliott has also been listed in No.20 as he looks to return from a long-term calf injury.

Sharks: Cam McInnes has been elevated to the starting side after making his comeback from an ACL injury via the bench last week. Briton Nikora has also been promoted to start in the back row with Billy Burns moving to the interchange. Experienced big man Braden Uele is part of the six-man interchange as he chases just his third NRL appearance of the season.
Wests Tigers: Sunia Turuva takes over at fullback from Jahream Bula, who aggravated a shoulder injury against the Raiders. Jeral Skelton comes in on the wing. The loss of Api Koroisau to suspension brings Tristan Hope in for his second game of the season while Kai Pearce-Paul (head knock) is replaced by Tony Sukkar. Winger Faaletino Tavana has overcome a hamstring injury to earn a spot on the interchange alongside Latu Fainu.

Panthers: Coach Ivan Cleary has named the same 19 players that got the job done in style against the Knights. Kalani Going has been named in No.16 as he was last week before Izack Tago leapfrogged him and played 26 minutes at McDonald Jones Stadium, scoring a try in just his second match of the season.
Sea Eagles: The pectoral injury to Corey Waddell sees Nathan Brown earn a recall in the only change to the side that downed the Eels to make it four wins on the trot. Blake Wilson and Jackson Shereb are listed as the 18 and 19 with young playmaker Joey Walsh in the reserves.
