Rabbitohs: No changes for the Bunnies after last week's road win over the Panthers. As usual George Burgess was named as the starting prop but has been moved back to the bench an hour before kick-off in the swap with Junior Tatola which has become Wayne Bennett's practice over the past month. Jacob Gagan and Connor Tracey dropped out of the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

Broncos: Rookie Thomas Dearden has been handed a debut for one of the most anticipated games of the season. The 18-year-old replaces Kodi Nikorima (calf injury) at halfback. In a late switch an hour before game time, Patrick Carrigan was promoted to the bench at the expense of Kotoni Staggs as the Broncos looked to counter Souths' forward strength. Jaydn Su'A and Sean O'Sullivan were the players to drop off the extended bench on Wednesday.

Raiders: Joseph Leilua is out, replaced in the centres by Michael Oldfield. No other late changes for the Green Machine. Emre Guler was the last player cut before kick-off, while Aidan Sezer and Murchie were trimmed from the original 21-man squad on Friday. The Raiders (5-2) are aiming to bounce back from last week's road loss to Manly.

Panthers: The Panthers are 1-17 as named on Tuesday. Coach Ivan Cleary has retained exactly the same 17-man team that wasn't far off beating the Rabbitohs last week. Jerome Luai and Kaide Ellis were omitted an hour before kick-off, while Dylan Edwards and Tyrell Fuimaono dropped off the reserves list on Friday. The Panthers have won two of seven games and can virtually forget about a top-four finish if they lose on Saturday.
