Cowboys: Paul Green has named the same 17 which played so impressively to upset Penrith last week. John Asiata and Michael Morgan will again call the shots in the halves with the skipper named at halfback this week after he was No.6 last week. Scott Bolton will play in jersey No.16 as Matt Scott's No.8 is retired for this game as a special tribute to the club legend. Tom Gilbert and Enari Tuala were trimmed from the reserves an hour before kick-off. Halfback Jake Clifford was named among the reserves and was hopeful of returning from an ankle injury but he was ruled out 24 hours before kick-off. The other man cut on Wednesday was Corey Jensen.

Bulldogs: Just the one change for the in-form Bulldogs with Jayden Okunbor coming onto the wing for the suspended Reimis Smith. Danny Fualalo and Morgan Harper dropped off the extended bench on game day. The first two omitted from the extended squad 24 hours before kick-off were Fa'amanu Brown and Ofahiki Ogden.

Warriors: Adam Pompey came into the team at the last minute in jersey No.22 for Patrick Herbert who injured his quad in warm-up. Halfback Blake Green (knee) and prop Leeson Ah Mau (knee) took their place despite doubts over their fitness. Bunty Afoa was the final cut from the match-day squad.

Rabbitohs: South Sydney are 1-17 with Dean Britt and Mawene Hiroti the two match-day omissions. Sam Burgess was cleared to play the Warriors on Thursday. Alex Johnston is finally back following a knee complaint, albeit on the wing, and is in a similar boat to Burgess. Kyle Turner (hamstring) has been included on the bench. Tom Amone and Bayley Sironen were omitted 24 hours prior to kick-off. Rabbitohs five-eighth Cody Walker has scored seven tries in his past five games against the Warriors.

Sea Eagles: Brad Parker replaces Brendan Elliot in the centres, while Lloyd Perrett dropped off the extended bench on game day. The loss of back-rower Joel Thompson to a broken arm has been tempered by the return of Curtis Sironen from a hamstring injury. That means Jack Gosiewski keeps his place in the starting line-up.

Storm: Melbourne are 1-17, with Curtis Scott and Harry Grant dropping off the reserves list. Will Chambers returns after missing last week's win over the Titans. Curtis Scott goes back to the reserves, while Brodie Croft was also named in the reserves. Tino Faasuamaleaui has been promoted to the bench in place of Tui Kamikamica. Brodie Croft and Sandor Earl were the first two men omitted 24 hours before kick-off.

Roosters: Cooper Cronk (eye) and Boyd Cordner (calf) have been ruled out. Former Dragon Drew Hutchison, in jersey No.25, will play his third game for Trent Robinson's side this year and just his seventh in the NRL coming in for Cronk at halfback. Latrell Mitchell comes in for Billy Smith at centre after a minor calf complaint sidelined him last week. Robinson also removed Sitili Tupouniua from the extended bench at the 24-hour mark. The Roosters have scored 224 points in their past six games.

Panthers: Panthers have changed their hooker for a third time in five days with Sione Katoa coming off the reserves in the No.9 role. Mitch Kenny was originally named on Tuesday but succumbed to an elbow injury suffered in a contact session. On match eve coach Ivan Cleary put Wayde Egan into hooker but an hour from kick-off he changed that to Katoa. He also cut Jarome Luai from the bench and replace him with Egan. Billy Burns makes his NRL debut as Panthers player #592. The club is making their first appearance at the SCG since 1987.

Dragons: Ben Hunt (concussion ) comes into the side as a late inclusion for Corey Norman (groin strain) who drops out of the match-day 17. Jacob Host is the other omission. Patrick Kaufusi has recovered from a head knock to displace Host in the 17. Tristan Sailor remains at fullback. The Dragons have won three of their past four games against the Tigers. Jeremy Latimore and Mikaele Ravalawa were the two players to drop out on Saturday.

Wests Tigers: Ryan Matterson has replaced Josh Reynolds at hooker with the listed No.9 dropping to the bench and Matt Eisenhuth starting at lock. When the same switch was made last week Benji Marshall started at dummy half with Matterson lining up at five-eighth. Tommy Talau and Chris McQueen are the Tigers' final cuts. Wests Tigers have only won one of their past five games at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Sam McIntyre was the play to drop out 24 hours out from kick-off.
