Storm: An unchanged side for coach Craig Bellamy with Nelson Asofa-Solomona named to start and Christian Welch on the bench although a game day switch could again be on the cards for the two big men.
Rabbitohs: Hooker Damien Cook has been recalled and will start at hooker with Peter Mamouzelos moving to the bench. Maroons forward Jai Arrow is named to return from a shoulder injury in a massive boost for the Rabbitohs while skipper Cameron Murray has completed the concussion protocols and takes his place at lock. The loss of Tevita Tatola to a foot injury brings Shaquai Mitchell into the starting side while Jacob Gagai comes in on the wing for Tyrone Munro (collarbone).

Wests Tigers: Rugby union convert Solomon Alaimolo will make his NRL debut as an injury replacement for Junior Tupou on the wing. There’s a change in the forwards too with Fonua Pole dropping back to the bench and John Bateman switching from second row to lock. Sam Fainu comes in to start on the edge this week.
Broncos: Three big ins for coach Kevin Walters, with star prop Payne Haas back from five weeks out with a knee injury, skipper Adam Reynolds returning from a hamstring issue and back-rower Brendan Piakura (ankle) back on deck. But there’s two major outs as well with five-eighth Ezra Mam (finger) and strike centre Selwyn Cobbo (shoulder) set to miss. Jock Madden moves from halfback to the No.6 jersey to cover for Mam, while the return of Deine Mariner from a back injury fills the void in the backline, with Jesse Arthars switching from wing to centre.

Last updated:
Cowboys: Coach Todd Payten has resisted making major changes to this side following last Sunday's heavy defeat the Sharks. There are a couple of changes in the pack though, the biggest of which sees Griffin Neame replace Jason Taumalolo as a starting prop, with the latter reverting to the bench. Jack Gosiewski is out of the 17 after starting in the second row last week, with off-season recruit Thomas Mikaele the new face on the bench.
Panthers: Nathan Cleary returns for his first game since Round 3 after overcoming a hamstring injury, which means Brad Schneider drops back out of the side. Fullback Dylan Edwards is named despite failing to finish the last few minutes of last week’s win over the Wests Tigers, while Taylan May retakes his place at centre after a week off for personal reasons.

Dolphins: Just one change from the 17 who won big over the Eels last week, with Kurt Donoghoe’s return from suspension on the bench bumping Sean O’Sullivan back to the reserves. Trai Fuller keeps the job at fullback after a strong performance in his first game of the year, while veteran forward Jarrod Wallace is set to miss out on a spot once again.
Knights: A debut awaits David Armstrong after he was named to take over at fullback following Kalyn Ponga’s long-term foot injury. Dane Gagai returns from a week out with a calf injury and is the new captain. Jed Cartwright takes the bench spot made vacant by Jack Hetherington’s suspension.

Last updated:
Raiders: After losing out on a starting spot to Ethan Strange through the first seven weeks, Kaeo Weekes now gets the chance to partner him in the halves after being called in to replace the injured Jamal Fogarty (biceps). Simi Sasagi is named to start in the second row after being a late addition to the run-on side last week, while Chevy Stewart keeps the job at fullback.
Sharks: With Braydon Trindall not selected, Daniel Atkinson will partner Nicho Hynes in the halves, while Sione Katoa returns from suspension on the wing and bumps last week’s try-scoring rookie Sam Stonestreet out of the 17. No other changes for the competition leaders.
