Titans: Maroons forward David Fifita is being rested after presenting possible delayed concussion symptoms following the Rabbitohs game. Fifita passed his HIA on Saturday but given the short turnaround and the potential of playing three games in eight days, the club has made a precautionary decision to rest the star back-rower. AJ Brimson returns ahead of schedule from a hamstring injury at fullback, sending young gun Keano Kini back to the reserves. Brian Kelly comes in at centre, Phil Sami goes to the wing and Jojo Fifita to 18th Man. With hooker Chris Randall banned for one game for Dangerous Contact, Sam Verrills takes over in the No.9 and Kruise Leeming joins the bench alongside prop Jaimin Jolliffe, who returns from a pectoral injury.

Wests Tigers: Coach Tim Sheens sticks with the same squad that pushed Canberra all the way in Round 14. Captain Api Koroisau returns to the starting side after coming from the bench on Friday as he backed up 48 hours after Origin One.

Raiders: A new-look backline sees Jarrod Croker return at centre for his 300th NRL game so Albert Hopoate goes back to the wing and Nick Cotric goes to the bench. Seb Kris (knee) is also back on deck in the No.1 jersey so Harley Smith-Shields makes way. Skipper Elliott Whitehead is back from a two-game suspension in the second row so Corey Horsburgh goes to lock, Joe Tapine to prop and Pasami Saulo to the bench.

Warriors: Ali Leiataua will make his NRL debut in the centres replacing Rocco Berry (head knock) in the only change to the side that downed the Dolphins. Leiataua has scored nine tries in 13 games in NSW Cup this season. Hooker Freddy Lussick has been listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a head knock suffered in Round 13.

Sea Eagles: Star fullback Tom Trbojevic has been named to play despite suffering a head knock in Origin I.

Reuben Garrick has shifted to the centres in place of Brad Parker with Christian Tuipulotu coming in on the wing. Skipper Daly Cherry-Evans' return sees Cooper Johns drop. Josh Aloiai is back from a shoulder injury on the bench.

Dolphins: With Jarrod Wallace and Anthony Milford accepting three-match bans and Tom Gilbert (shoulder) out injured, coach Wayne Bennett has been forced into a major shake-up. Hooker Jeremy Marshall-King is back on deck after being a late scratching in Round 14 with a shoulder injury and Poasa Faamausili joins the pack for his fourth game of the season. Herman Ese'ese and Kurt Donoghue are the new faces on the bench with last week's debutant Max Plath going to 18th Man.

Rabbitohs: The loss of key forwards Jai Arrow (ankle) and Cameron Murray (groin) is offset by the return of Siliva Havili from the ankle injury that has sidelined him all season.
