Sea Eagles: Five-eighth Josh Schuster (calf) is back on deck so Cooper Johns goes to the reserves list in the only change to the side that beat the Bulldogs in Round 1. Hooker Lachlan Croker suffered a head knock in the season opener but he is right to play.

Eels: Winger Maika Sivo was charged with Dangerous Contact in Round 2 but he is free to play after receiving a fine. Coach Brad Arthur is sticking firm with the 17-man squad that went down to the Sharks. Back-rower Ryan Matterson is one more week away from completing his suspension.

Titans: Centre Brian Kelly returns after serving a four-match ban for a Dangerous Throw against the Knights in Round 24 last year so Phil Sami shifts to the wing and Jojo Fifita is out with a knee injury. Hooker Sam Verrills (fractured collarbone) is out, replaced by Chris Randall. The new faces on the interchange are Joseph Vuna in his first game since 2021 after missing all of 2022 due to an ACL injury and Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui, younger brother of skipper Tino, who makes his NRL debut.

Storm: Powerhouse centre Justin Olam has been named to return early from an arm injury that was initially expected to keep him out until Round 6. Winger Xavier Coates (shoulder), prop Tui Kamikamica (foot) and interchange forward Tariq Sims (calf) are also back to bolster the Storm line-up. The quartet will all need final clearances by Friday to take their place in the team. Youngster Jonah Pezet makes his NRL debut off the bench. Prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona faces 6-8 weeks out with a knee injury.

Cowboys: A couple of forced changes due to suspension with Tom Chester coming in at fullback for his second NRL game in place of Scott Drinkwater (three-game ban) while Gehamat Shibasaki replaces Peta Hiku (two-game ban) in the centres.

Warriors: The absence of fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad with concussion sees Taine Tuaupiki make his NRL debut at fullback. Back-rower Jackson Ford will also miss the game after copping a head knock last week so Bunty Afoa moves into the starting side and Bayley Sironen joins the bench. Josh Curran (hip pointer) has been named to play but Jazz Tevaga is in the extended squad and could be called in should Curran fail to come up. Skipper Tohu Harris plays his 200th NRL game.
