Titans: The Titans are 1-17 with no late changes.

David Fifita has been named to start again but may revert to the bench as he has in recent weeks.

AJ Brimson underwent surgery for a fractured jaw on Tuesday and is unlikely to play again this year in a blow for the side's finals chances.

Sam McIntyre returns to the side at lock with Tino Fa'asuamaleaui moving to the front row in place of Moeaki Fotuaika (knee).

Mitch Rein and Herman Ese'ese were the first two players cut from the squad 24 hours before kick-off. Esan Marsters was the last man cut an hour before kick-off and Phillip Sami is 18th man.

Fifita has scored 12 tries in nine games at Cbus Super Stadium in 2021.

Storm: In a late change an hour before kick-off Aaron Pene joins the bench in jersey No.20 and Aaron Booth drops to 18th man.

Jahrome Hughes (concussion) is replaced by Nicho Hynes in the halves which allows Ryan Papenhuyzen to return to fullback.

George Jennings (knee) is good to go and replaces Dean Ieremia on the wing.

Brandon Smith and Justin Olam have been rested for this week.

Jordan Grant and Trent Loiero were cut from the squad on Wednesday and Isaac Lulelume was the last man cut an hour before kick-off.

The Storm have won 10 of their past 11 games against the Titans.

Raiders: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has been named to return via the bench as Ricky Stuart looks to ease the fullback back into the game.

Stuart said he would give CNK around 20-30 minutes off the bench while playmaker Matt Frawley will also be on the interchange to help cover for the absence of Tom Starling (broken jaw) and Corey Harawira-Naera (suspended).

Veteran prop Sia Soliola is out due to personal reasons and has been replaced on the bench by Dunamis Lui.

Trey Mooney is 18th man and Elijah Anderson was the last man cut an hour before kick-off.

Caleb Aekins was omitted from the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

The Raiders are aiming for two wins in a season against the Sea Eagles for the first time since 2016.

Sea Eagles: Superstar fullback Tom Trbojevic (cheekbone) was ruled out on Thursday and his place is taken by Tevita Funa in jersey No.19. Cade Cust was the other player to drop out of the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

Toafofoa Sipley has come into the starting side an hour before kick-off with Josh Aloai going back to the bench. Jack Gosiewski was the last man cut and Kurt De Luis is 18th man.

Brad Parker (concussion) will be rested with Moses Suli coming into the starting side.

The Sea Eagles have won six of their past eight games against the Raiders.

Wests Tigers: James Tamou (foot) was a late withdrawal last week and will not play.

James Roberts was attempting to play his first game since round 16 and was named on the interchange, but Michael Maguire has opted to give him another week of training before making his comeback.

Joe Ofahengaue will start at prop for Tamou while Billy Walters and Tom Amone were elevated to the interchange 24 hours out from kick-off.

Zac Cini is the 18th man with Jock Madded dropping off the reserves list on game day.

Wests Tigers are aiming for three consecutive wins for the first time since 2018.

Sharks: Matt Moylan will be a late inclusion following a further setback with a calf injury a fortnight ago. Sharks coach Josh Hannay said the veteran playmaker would be restricted to limited minutes but was in good spirits about getting back on the field.

He will move from the reserves to the interchange, Luke Metcalf has been promoted to start at five-eighth, with Connor Tracey shifting to centre and Mawene Hiroti dropping out of the squad altogether on Friday along with Will Chambers.

Ronaldo Mulitalo (HIA) and Teig Wilton (hamstring) will both play after overcoming injury concerns.

Kai O'Donnell is 18th man, with Jonaiah Lualua dropping out of the playing squad an hour before kick-off.

The Sharks have won six of their past seven games against the Tigers.

The loss of Daniel Saifiti to a knee injury sees David Klemmer move in to the starting side.

Jirah Momoisea will make his NRL debut from the bench after overcoming a ruptured Achilles earlier this year.

Chris Randall will provide utility cover from the bench this week with Roosters-bound livewire Connor Watson to start.
