Bulldogs forward Jacob Preston has fallen short in his bid to make an early return from a broken arm.
The back-rower was initially named in the extended squad for Friday’s clash with the Titans but coach Cameron Ciraldo told reporters on Thursday morning that Preston will return after next week’s bye.
“He got some training in this week but he hasn’t crossed the line to be able to play so he’ll be back after the bye,” Ciraldo said.
In more positive news, Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa remains on track to make his return from a knee injury.
The playmaker is one of multiple big names in the mix to return for Beanie for Brain Cancer Round, with a host of Origin stars back on deck for their respective clubs.

Eels: Jason Ryles has shaken up his forward pack in the final team update, with Harrison Edwards once again starting in place of Tallyn Da Silva, who reverts to the bench, while Sam Tuivaiti starts in the front row in place of Luca Moretti. Apa Twidle was cut from the reserves. Mitchell Moses is on track for his first game for the Eels since Round 11 after overcoming a hamstring injury. The playmaker will play his 250th match in the NRL. Moses’ return will see Ronald Volkman switch to five-eighth. Jonah Pezet is also back healthy but he will make his return from a hamstring injury in NSW Cup.
Rabbitohs: The Rabbitohs will line up 1-19 as named on Tuesday. The loss of Latrell Mitchell to a calf injury will see Latrell Siegwalt line up in the centres, with Tallis Duncan also filling in with Campbell Graham still sidelined. NSW Under 19 centre Dayne Jennings is in the mix for an NRL debut after being named on the six-man bench. Thomas Fletcher and Moala Graham-Taufa dropped out of the squad in the 24-hour update, while Bronson Garlick was omitted in the final team update.

Titans: Chris Randall is on track to return from a concussion and will line up at lock in place of Cooper Bai (head knock), while Tino Fa’asuamaleaui is set to take his place at prop after being rested last week. The loss of Jensen Taumoepeau to an ankle injury will see Jaylan De Groot line up on the wing. No line-up changes were made in the 24-hour update, with Adam Christensen and Michael Molo dropping off the reserves.
Bulldogs: Star back-rower Jacob Preston has fallen short in his bid to return from a broken arm suffered in Round 12. The edge forward was listed in the reserves but coach Cameron Ciraldo told reporters the comeback is on hold. “He got some training in this week but he hasn’t crossed the line to be able to play so he’ll be back after the bye,” Ciraldo said. Stephen Crichton is set to remain at five-eighth this weekend, with Matt Burton in the centres and Bronson Xerri on the six-man bench. Josh Curran is set to line up in the backrow after Sitili Tupouniua injured his hamstring late in last week’s thrilling win over Manly. Logan Spinks was the other player to drop off the reserves alongside Preston.

Broncos: The loss of Adam Reynolds will see Ben Hunt step into the No.7 jumper to partner Tom Duffy in the halves, while Ezra Mam has also been ruled out and will be replaced by Blake Mozer on the six-man bench. The utility is preparing for his first NRL match since breaking his jaw in Round 6. Brisbane have received a boost with the return of Origin stars Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs and Payne Haas.
Roosters: A broken nose won’t impact James Tedesco’s ability to start at fullback for his 200th match as a Rooster. Hugo Savala is also back in the centres after progressing through the concussion protocols and is on track to take his place in the team. The centre’s return will see Billy Smith shift back to the wing and Tommy Talau drop out.

The workhorse will be replaced by Tanner Stowers-Smith in the starting side. The Warriors have won five from seven in Australia this year, including a thumping victory over the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium during Magic Round.

Cowboys: Lock Jason Taumalolo is set to start at prop for his 300th game in the NRL after coming off the bench last week. Young playmaker Liam Sutton could add to his four NRL appearances after coming on to the six-man bench. Halfback Tom Dearden remains at least another week away from returning from an ankle injury suffered in Round 10.
Panthers: Origin guns Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo and Brian To’o will all return as Penrith look to rebound from a tight loss to the Titans. Paul Alamoti will shift to centre to accommodate To’o’s return while Luke Garner, Liam Henry and Jack Cogger will all move to the interchange.

Sea Eagles: Emerging outside back Clayton Faulalo remains in the extended squad as he looks to make an early return from a hamstring injury. Faulalo will likely come into the centres if cleared to play, with Reuben Garrick ruled out due to a head knock. Brandon Wakeham and Kobe Hetherington have also been ruled out, with Jake Simpkin to line up at hooker and Ethan Bullemor at prop.
Storm: Tyran Wishart is set to start at halfback after Jahrome Hughes was struck down with a minor hamstring injury. Harry Grant is also back in the starting side after coming off the bench in last week’s win over the Raiders.

Raiders: Simi Sasagi is on track to return from a calf injury and comes straight into the centres, with Seb Kris shifting to the interchange. Emerging fullback Chevy Stewart has been named on the six-man bench and could provide attacking X-factor as the Raiders look to kick-start their season.
Dragons: Moses Suli remains sidelined for a second-straight week after going down in the warmup last Friday night. That will see Tyrell Sloan remain on the wing and Mat Feagai at centre in an unchanged starting side. Versatile centre/back-rower Nick Tsougranis has come on to the six-man bench alongside promising forward Jacob Halangahu.

Knights: Origin duo Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Lucas are on track to return for the final game of Beanie for Brain Cancer Round, with Fletcher Sharpe shifting to five-eighth and Sandon Smith set to come off the bench. Edge forward Jermaine McEwen is also back on deck following a one-game suspension and comes straight back into the starting side.
Wests Tigers: Halfback Adam Doueihi is on track to take his place in the starting side after recovering from a shoulder injury, with lock Alex Twal also pushing to return from a knee injury. Alex Seyfarth will return to the starting side if Twal falls short. Patrick Herbert has also been ruled out after dislocating his shoulder with Starford To’a shifting to centre and Jeral Skelton named on the wing.
