Panthers: NSW Origin heroes Nathan Cleary, Liam Martin and Isaah Yeo are back to bolster the Panthers after missing Round 18 on Blues duty. Young gun Casey McLean (quad) returns in the centres while back-rower Isaiah Papali'i (concussion) is also back on deck. Winger Thomas Jenkins requires one try to break the club’s all-time season tryscoring record of 25 held by Rhys Wesser.

Broncos: After two games in Queensland Cup, Billy Walters was named in Michael Maguire's extended squad but the coach confirmed on Wednesday that Walters won't face the Panthers. Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam, Adam Reynolds, Payne Haas, Brendan Piakura and Pat Carrigan are all back on deck in a massive boost for the premiers. Reynolds has missed two games with a calf injury suffered in Round 15 while Mam hurt his shoulder in the same match against Souths.

Raiders: Origin duo Ethan Strange and Hudson Young return to the starting side so Daine Laurie and Ata Mariota head back to the bench.

Winger Savelio Tamale earns a recall on the bench after a week in NSW Cup to regain his confidence after a tough day under the high ball against the Dragons in Round 17.

Rabbitohs: Alex Johnston is set to return from a calf injury and replaces Dayne Jennings, who suffered a nasty gash in last week’s win over Newcastle. Euan Aitken failed to finish the match due to illness but has been listed to start in the back row. Cody Walker is back from a one-game ban and will partner Ashton Ward in the halves.

Winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak's return from a hamstring injury pushes Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad to the reserves. Centre Rocco Berry has recovered from a hamstring injury and will return through NSW Cup.

Dragons: Winger Tyrell Sloan has been named to play despite coming off with a hamstring injury in the Round 18 win over Wests Tigers before last week's bye. Moses Suli has been recalled on the bench after playing NSW Cup a fortnight ago. Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle will make his 150th NRL appearance.

Bulldogs: Skipper Stephen Crichton has been listed among the reserves but seems unlikely to play after losing feeling in his arm and being taken from the field on a medicab last Saturday night at Accor Stadium. Also among the reserves is Viliame Kikau, who is nearing a return from a pectoral injury suffered in Round 8. Sean O'Sullivan will wear the No.6 should Crichton be left out. Star back-rower Jacob Preston is back in the starting side after playing 60 minutes off the bench last week in his return from a broken arm.

Wests Tigers: Skipper Api Koroisau (pectoral) is listed among the reserves and could be an outside chance to play after training with the side on Tuesday. Last week's debutant Jared Haywood will deputise at hooker should Koroisau be sidelined. Fonua Pole starts at prop in place of the suspended Bunty Afoa.

Sea Eagles: Ethan Bullemor comes into the back row in place of Ben Trbojevic, who suffered a concussion against the Cowboys and has entered the HIA protocols. Corey Waddell (ankle) is also out. Jackson Shereb joins the bench as he chases a fourth NRL appearance for the season.

Dolphins: Gun outside backs Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Jack Bostock and Selwyn Cobbo return to bolster the Dolphins' backline, while Jake Averillo is out with a rib complaint. In a boost for the forwards, Max Plath has been named despite hurting his ankle against the Sharks. The Dolphins have won their last five games at Suncorp Stadium.

Cowboys: Skipper Tom Dearden hasn't played since suffering a syndesmosis injury in Round 10 but everything points to the star playmaker being called up from the reserves list closer to game day. “Things are looking positive,” coach Todd Payten said. “He’s going to get some running on (Wednesday) and join the team for our main session. As long as he pulls up from that we expect him to play.” Kiwi Griffin Neame starts at prop in place of Tom Mikaele, who suffered delayed concussion symptoms following Sunday’s win over Manly and will be subject to the NRL’s 11-day stand-down period.
