Dolphins: Jesse Bromwich returns from a groin injury to lead the Dolphins in their final game so Jarrod Wallace reverts to the bench. Prop Josh Kerr misses the game through suspension so Max Plath joins the bench.

Warriors: With a top-four finish already secured, Andrew Webster has opted to rest the majority of his frontline stars. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak join Shaun Johnson in sitting out Round 27, which opens the door for Taine Tuaupiki, Ed Kosi and Ronald Volkman to have a run in their preferred positions. Te Maire Martin makes his long-awaited return at five-eighth in place of Luke Metcalf (hamstring). Hooker Wayde Egan is replaced in the starting side by Freddy Lussick, while Mitch Barnett returns from a leg laceration to replace Addin Fonua-Blake at prop. Captain Tohu Harris is out with a back injury, so Dylan Walker starts at lock, with Brayden Wiliame and Tom Ale the new faces on the bench.

Cowboys: Todd Payten rolls out the same 17 that got the job done against the Dolphins with rookie Zac Laybutt holding his place in the centres on the back of a two-try haul in his third NRL game. At the other end of the career scale, 307-gamer James Tamou is listed among the reserves and may yet be called in for an NRL swan song. Edge forward Jeremiah Nanai remains sidelined with a shoulder injury.

Sharks: Nicho Hynes returns after missing the Knights game with a quad injury so Braydon Trindall goes back to his customary five-eighth role and Matt Moylan slides to the bench. No other changes to Craig Fitzgibbon's outfit.

Raiders: Corey Horsburgh was found guilty at the judiciary on Tuesday night and has been banned for four matches so a reshuffle will be needed. Forward leader Josh Papalii is out for the season with a biceps injury so Hohepa Puru comes onto the bench for his NRL debut. Halfback Jamal Fogarty trained on Tuesday and has been named despite suffering a facial injury against the Broncos.
