Eels: Junior Paulo is back on deck after missing the Titans game with a rolled ankle so Daniel Alvaro shifts to the bench. In a late change an hour before kick-off Peni Terepo drops off the bench and his place is taken by Tepai Moeroa. George Jennings and Stefano Utoikamanu were the two players omitted 24 hours before kick-off. Jaeman Salmon and Terepo were the last two men cut an hour before game time.

Bulldogs: Winning form is good form so Dean Pay has stuck with the same 17 which got the job done last week. Having upset the Knights, Panthers, Wests Tigers and Souths during the past six weeks, the Bulldogs will be keen to play spoiler for another finals-bound opponent. Morgan Harper and Ofahiki Ogden were cut from the reserves list on Wednesday and Danny Fualalo and Michael Lichaa were the last two cut an hour before kick-off.

Broncos: The loss of Tevita Pangai to suspension is offset by the return of Matt Gillett from a back injury. Halfback Jake Turpin has also been suspended and his place is taken by Sean O'Sullivan. Alex Glenn returns after missing two weeks with a knee injury so Gehamat Shibasaki goes to the bench and Izaia Perese drops to the reserves. Shaun Fensom and Tesi Niu dropped off the reserves list 24 hours before kick-off. Rhys Kennedy and Izaia Perese were the final two cut an hour before game time.

Rabbitohs: Two late changes for Souths an hour before kick-off with Kyle Turner and Ethan Lowe dropping out. Corey Allan moves into the centres and Bayley Sironen takes Lowe's spot on the bench. The Bunnies had already lost Sam Burgess (quad) on Thursday. He was replaced in the starting side by Junior Tatola. The new man on the bench is Tom Amone. Centre Braidon Burns is out with a hamstring injury. A knee injury to prop Tom Burgess allows Liam Knight to move into the starting team and Mark Nicholls to come onto the bench. Connor Tracey was omitted from the squad on Thursday. The Rabbitohs have not defeated the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium since 2015.

Storm: Storm have reshuffled their spine with Brodie Croft omitted an hour before kick-off. That means fullback Jahrome Hughes now goes into the halves and No.17 Ryan Papenhuzen comes off the bench and into the No.1 position. On Saturday Storm announced Curtis Scott would be replacing Will Chambers (sprained ankle) in the centres and Tom Eisenhuth was being promoted to the bench for Joe Stimson. The Sunday changes mean Max King comes up from the reserves to the interchange bench. Brandon Smith is also returning from an ankle injury after missing last week's loss to the Raiders.

Titans: No changes to the initial 17-man team named on Tuesday. Jarrod Wallace is a welcome addition after missing last week's game for personal reasons, while Michael Gordon takes over at fullback and AJ Brimson moves to the bench. Jai Arrow has been named at prop and Nathan Peats at lock. An hour before kick-off Bryce Cartwright, in the No.18 jersey, earned a reprieve and was brought onto the bench from the reserves in place of Brenko Lee.
