Sharks: Star centre Jesse Ramien is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from the ankle injury that ruled him out of the game against the Storm. Ramien will be given until later in the week to try and prove his fitness but for the moment the Sharks go with the same 17 as week one of the finals. Braden Hamlin-Uele is listed as 18th man.

Cowboys: Coach Todd Payten has the luxury of naming the same 17 that got the job in the sudden-death showdown with the Knights. Jaxon Purdue is listed as 18th man after Thomas Mikaele filled that role in week one. Chad Townsend, Braidon Burns and Tom Chester are part of the extended squad.

Roosters: Veteran prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is back from suspension in a huge boost for the Roosters while Victor Radley is part of the extended squad and could make a return from a fractured scapula suffered in Round 26. Nat Butcher goes back to the bench where he is joined by Siua Wong, Spencer Leniu and Terrell May while Zach Dockar-Clay is listed as 18th man.

Sea Eagles: Winning form is good form so Manly roll out the same 17 that stormed home to beat the Bulldogs. Winger Jason Saab remains sidelined after missing the past two games with an ankle injury. Fullback Tom Trbojevic will be better for the run after returning from a shoulder injury on Sunday. Toafofoa Sipley and Corey Waddell are listed among the reserves along with 18th player Clayton Faulalo.
