Dolphins: Mark Nicholls returns from a thumb injury and he'll be a welcome addition to a side missing Tom Gilbert (Origin) and Felise Kaufusi (suspension). Ray Stone and Herman Ese'ese move into the starting side and Nicholls joins the bench along with Mason Teague and Magic Round sensation Valynce Te Whare. With fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow on Origin duty with the Maroons, Kodi Nikorima shifts to fullback and Anthony Milford is the new five-eighth.

Dragons: Jack Bird is back after missing last week with knee soreness, but his second row partner Jaydn Su'A is out with a minor hamstring issue, so Ben Murdoch-Masila retains his starting role. Jayden Sullivan gets the halfback job made vacant by Ben Hunt's Queensland selection, while Michael Molo comes in for the injured Blake Lawrie (finger) and will start in the front row alongside brother Francis. Moses Mbye returns to the bench after being 18th man last week.

Eels: Former Tiger Joe Ofahengaue comes straight into the starting side with Junior Paulo away on Blues Origin duty. With Ryan Matterson (calf) and Andrew Davey (head knock) also sidelined, Matt Doorey returns for his first game since Round 9 and Luca Moretti makes his NRL debut.

Cowboys: With Val Holmes, Murray Taulagi, Reuben Cotter and Tom Dearden all on Maroons Origin duty the Cowboys have called up two debutants in centre Zac Laybutt and winger Robert Derby, while Ben Hampton is the new five-eighth and Jake Granville starts at lock. Jason Taumalolo is listed among the reserves and could be a late inclusion as he looks to return from a knee injury while Griffin Neame (throat) returns ahead of schedule on the bench alongside Jamayne Taunoa-Brown who missed Round 12 due to a head knock.

Warriors: Luke Metcalf will make his club debut after being named at five-eighth ahead of Ronald Volkman, who is listed as the 18th man. After injuring his hamstring in February, Metcalf made a try-scoring return to action via the NSW Cup earlier this month. Jackson Ford is back to start in the second row after missing Round 11 with a head knock, while hooker Wayde Egan is out and replaced by Freddy Lussick.

Broncos: Tristan Sailor and Deine Mariner join the backline with Reece Walsh and Selwyn Cobbo on Origin duty while Keenan Palasia and Corey Jensen are the new starting props in place of Payne Haas (Blues) and Thomas Flegler (Maroons). Kobe Hetherington moves into the starting side for Pat Carrigan. The new faces on the bench are Xavier Willison and Brendan Piakura. With so many of his stars on Origin duty Kevin Walters will be hoping skipper Adam Reynolds (head/neck) is fit to take his place.

Rabbitohs: Campbell Graham has been named to play despite withdrawing from the NSW squad with a sternum injury on Monday, but with Richard Kennar listed as 18th man there could be a late change. Keaon Koloamatangi is a chance of returning from a leg injury after being included in the reserves, while Liam Knight is the man to replace Cameron Murray at lock. Blake Taafe comes in at fullback for Latrell Mitchell. The new faces on the bench are Shaquai Mitchell and Tallis Duncan.

Raiders: The Raiders are without Hudson Young (Origin) and Elliott Whitehead (suspension) so Corey Harawira-Naera comes into the second row, Joe Tapine moves to lock and Pasami Saulo will play prop. Zac Woolford's return from a head knock at hooker pushes Danny Levi to the reserves. Nick Cotric makes his return from a hamstring injury via the bench while Matt Frawley is listed among the reserves as he nears a return from a hand injury.

Knights: Kalyn Ponga's stint at five-eighth is over for the time being, with the superstar shifting to fullback in place of Lachlan Miller, who drops back to the interchange after struggling in the No.1 jersey in last week's loss to the Sharks. Tyson Gamble will partner Jackson Hastings in the halves, having played there while Ponga was injured earlier in the year. Adam Elliott moves into the starting side at lock, while Jack Johns starts in the second row as a replacement for Tyson Frizell, who is on Origin duty.

Sea Eagles: Mid-week signing Jake Arthur comes straight into the 22-man squad, but it's Cooper Johns who will replace Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves. Kaeo Weekes starts at fullback in the absence of Tom Trbojevic, while Toafofoa Sipley joins the 17 in place of the injured Jake Trbojevic (calf) and will start at prop, with Sean Keppie moving to lock. Samuela Fainu moves up from the bench to start second row, so Christian Tuipulotu joins the interchange for his first NRL game since Round 9.
