Cowboys: With no significant injury concerns, and having had the luxury of sitting out Finals Week 2, North Queensland have named the same 17 who got the job done in the opening week of the play-offs against the Sharks. Veteran Jake Granville, who played in the club's 2017 premiership side, is among the reserves along with Brendan Elliott, Ben Hampton and Tom Chester, while Jamayne Taunoa-Brown is again 18th Man.
Eels: A change on the bench with Bryce Cartwright recalled for his first game in a month, taking over from Makahesi Makatoa. Centre Tom Opacic has been named but remains in doubt after leaving the field with a hamstring injury against the Raiders. If he is ruled out, Marata Niukore may move to the centres with Nathan Brown joining the bench or Bailey Simonsson could come into the backline.

Last updated:
Panthers: No injury concerns for the Panthers after a week off, but the minor premiers will be without Taylan May after he accepted a one-week ban for his high tackle on Will Penisini in Penrith's Qualifying Final. His omission sees Charlie Staines come into the side on the wing for his 14th game of the season after he was 18th Man in week one. Spencer Leniu is free to play after accepting a monetary fine for his high tackle. Api Koroisau has been named to start at hooker but could swap with Mitch Kenny on game day as they did against the Eels.
Rabbitohs: Bench forward Siliva Havili (calf) will miss the match, his place taken by Jed Cartwright, who has recovered from a hamstring injury and will play his first game since Round 20. Prolific winger Alex Johnston (hip flexor) and back-rower Jai Arrow (groin) have been named to play despite failing to finish the semi-final against the Sharks. Johnston said on Tuesday that he was "touch and go" but confident of taking his place come Saturday night. Veteran winger Josh Mansour has not played since Round 8 but is listed among the reserves and could be a chance to return if Johnston fails to come up. Thomas Burgess will also be unavailable for selection as he serves the second game of his two-game ban following a high shot in last week's Elimination Final victory over the Roosters.
