Panthers: Superstar halfback Nathan Cleary will be champing at the bit after four weeks on the sideline due to suspension and he'll join forces with Jarome Luai, who was given a rest in Round 25 along with 11 other members of the regular starting side. Hooker Api Koroisau (ankle) and bench forward Spencer Leniu (shoulder) also return after missing the Cowboys game due to injury as the premiers roll out a full strength side.

Eels: Coach Brad Arthur has named the same 17 that got the job done against Melbourne to snatch fourth spot on the back of five wins in their last six matches. Lock Nathan Brown is listed as 18th Man after making a successful return from a finger injury in NSW Cup on Saturday.

Storm: Halfback Jahrome Hughes has been named to return after missing Round 25 with calf tightness so Cooper Johns goes to the reserves. Kenny Bromwich (head knock) and Nick Meaney (shoulder) should be right to go after they were injured against the Eels.

Raiders: After being rested last week, playmaker Jack Wighton and experienced back-rower Elliott Whitehead are back on deck for the trip to Melbourne. Corey Harawira-Naera reverts to the bench, Matt Frawley goes to the reserves and Albert Hopoate is 18th Man.

Roosters: Centre Joey Manu suffered a calf strain against the Rabbitohs and will be sidelined for 2-3 weeks. Paul Momirovski shifts to the centres to take Manu's place and wingers Daniel Tupou (groin) and Joseph Suaalii (shoulder) return so Kevin Naiqama moves to 18th Man. Lock Victor Radley returns from concussion so Siosiua Taukeiaho goes back to prop and Matt Lodge to the bench. Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (hamstring) and hooker Sam Verrills (finger) have been named despite suffering injuries in Round 25. Adam Keighran has been named on the bench for his third game of the season.

Rabbitohs: Skipper Cameron Murray has been named to play and will go through concussion protocols after suffering another head knock on Friday night. Should he be ruled out, Jai Arrow may switch to lock and Davvy Moale could come into the 17. Hooker Damien Cook returns after overcoming COVID so Siliva Havili goes to the interchange and Peter Mamouzelos drops out. Star centre Campbell Graham (head knock) is also back on deck, pushing Jaxson Paulo to the reserves list.
