Knights: Star centre Bradman Best returns after five week lay-off with a hamstring injury so Fletcher Hunt slides to the bench. Hooker Phoenix Crossland was taken from field on a medicab at AAMI Park a fortnight ago but has been cleared to take his place. Origin reps Kalyn Ponga and Dylan Lucas have been named to back up and will be monitored on Thursday. Sandon Smith is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a calf injury. Thomas Cant comes into the starting side in place of Jermaine McEwen, who was suspended for one game by the club for an off-field incident.

Dragons: The loss of Jaydn Su'A to a pectoral injury sees Luciano Leilua recalled after a week in NSW Cup while Emre Guler also returns. Winger Christian Tuipulotu is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a hamstring injury.

Wests Tigers: Star playmaker Adam Doueihi has been named in the extended squad as he looks to return from a shoulder injury suffered in Round 9. Skipper Api Koroisau has been named to back up from Origin Two so last week's debutant Josese Lanyon slides to the bench. Back-rower Tony Sukkar comes into the starting side for Kai Pearce-Paul (pectoral).

Dolphins: Coach Kristian Woolf sticks with the same 19-man squad that got the job done in style against the Roosters. Origin stars Max Plath and Kulikefu Finefeuiaki are listed among the reserves while Thomas Flegler, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Selwyn Cobbo will be rested.

Titans: Coach Josh Hannay has named Maroons reps Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Jojo Fifita to back up so Klese Haas and Jaylan De Groot revert to the bench after starting against Wests Tigers. Back-rower Chris Randall missed the Wests Tigers game and will remain sidelined for another week as the club takes a precautionary approach to his return after failing a HIA in Round 14 against the Broncos and also in Magic Round last month. Halfback Lachlan Ilias has been added to the interchange for his first NRL appearance since Round 9.

Panthers: Isaah Yeo, Nathan Cleary and Brian To'o are listed among the reserves and will be monitored after Origin Two. Jack Cogger will slot in at halfback should Cleary be rested while Lindsay Smith would go to lock if Yeo fails to come up. Luke Garner and Izack Tago are the new centres with Casey McLean (quad) sidelined and Paul Alamoti pushing out to the wing to cover for To'o. The new faces on the interchange are Billy Phillips, Luron Patea, Jack Cole and John Fonua.

Bulldogs: Skipper Stephen Crichton has been named to play despite a shoulder injury ruling him out of Origin Two. Kurt Mann (ear) returns at hooker so Bailey Hayward reverts to the bench alongside Jed Reardon, Jack Underhill, Josh Curran, Jethro Rinakama and potential NRL debutant Logan Spinks, who has played 29 NSW Cup games in the past three seasons and also featured in the Pre-Season Challenge in February.

Sea Eagles: A huge in for the Sea Eagles with Tom Trbojevic named to return at fullback after seven games out with a hamstring injury. Clayton Faulalo, who did an outstanding job filling in at fullback, suffered a hamstring injury in Round 14 against Souths. Blues centre Tolu Koula has been named to play on Saturday night. Ethan Bullemor returns on the interchange after missing Round 14 due to a head knock suffered at training in the lead-up to that match.

Warriors: Blues prop Mitch Barnett and Maroons back-rower Kurt Capewell are part of the extended squad and will be checked out once they return to Auckland after Origin Two. After suffering a quad contusion last week Alofiana Khan-Pereira is out, replaced on the wing by Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad. Skipper James Fisher-Harris (calf) and back-rower Leka Halasima (hamstring) remain sidelined but hooker Sam Healey returns from a thumb injury on the bench. Rocco Berrry and Luke Metcalf have been recalled on the six-man interchange after stints in NSW Cup.

Cowboys: Gun back-rower Jeremiah Nanai (shoulder) is on track to play his first game since Round 9 and just his third of the season while Braidon Burns (hamstring) has also been named to return from injury. Burns' comeback sees Zac Laybutt move from wing to centre, Jaxon Purdue slide to five-eighth and Liam Sutton to the bench. Englishman John Bateman made a successful return through Queensland Cup last week following wrist surgery and could be a late call-up for his first NRL game of the season.

Storm: Craig Bellamy has named Origin reps Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero to back up four days after Game Two. The fact the game is in their own backyard at the MCG means no travel for the Maroons trio which is a bonus. Centre Jack Howarth (quad) and utility Tyran Wishart (ankle) are back on deck for the Storm so Manaia Waitere (ankle) and Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown make way.

Raiders: Winger Savelio Tamale has been named to return from a concussion but forwards Josh Papalii (calf) and Simi Sasagi (shoulder) remain sidelined. Blues stars Ethan Strange and Hudson Young have been included in the starting line-up so Daine Laurie and Ata Mariota go back to the interchange. Last week's debutant Vena Patuki-Case retains his place on the bench.

Roosters: James Tedesco, Mark Nawaqanitawase, Sam Walker, Reece Robson, Rob Toia, Lindsay Collins and Victor Radley have all been named to play on Sunday pending their recovery from Origin Two. Last week's debutants Rex Bassingthwaighte and Toby Rodwell have been included on the interchange. Hugo Savala and Reece Foley have entered the concussion protocols.

Sharks: Hooker Blayke Brailey has been named in the extended squad as he chases a return from a broken arm suffered in Round 13 while chief playmaker Nicho Hynes (calf) is also among the reserves. Origin stars Addin Fonua-Blake and Briton Nikora are in the starting side and will be monitored. Prop Toby Rudolf suffered a knee injury against the Warriors and is facing 4-6 weeks on the sideline.
