NRL Late Mail: Finals Week 1

Roosters v Rabbitohs, Sunday at Allianz Stadium

Roosters: Kevin Naiqama is a late addition to the Roosters' bench, taking the place of Adam Keighran who drops back to be the replacement player. Matt Lodge starts in the front row, with Sio Siua Taukeiaho reverting to the interchange. Returning players Daniel Tupou (groin), Joseph Suaalii (shoulder) and Victor Radley (concussion) are all good to go, as are prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (hamstring) and hooker Sam Verrills (finger), who picked up injuries in round 25. 

Rabbitohs: No late changes, with skipper Cameron Murray, who suffered a head knock in round 25, taking his place at lock. 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.
