Warriors: No changes to Andrew Webster's starting side after an impressive win over the Titans. Fullback Taine Tuaupiki has been named on the interchange bench as he looks to return from a foot injury. Demitric Vaimauga remains sidelined with a rib complaint that caused him to be a late withdrawal last week against the Titans. Morgan Gannon joins the bench while Riley Price and Adam Pompey move to the reserves.

Panthers: The loss of centre Casey McLean to a hand injury sees three-time premiership winner Izack Tago promoted to the starting side. That opens up a spot on the bench for Blaize Talagi to return after a week in NSW Cup.

Roosters: Maroons prop Lindsay Collins has been named on the bench after an extended break due to concussion issues. Winger Billy Smith returns after missing Round 22 due to illness so Tommy Talau goes to the bench. Skipper James Tedesco is good to go despite sitting out the second half last week with his ankle on ice. Salesi Foketi retains his place in the starting side after a powerhouse display against the Cowboys so Nat Butcher goes to the bench.

Bulldogs: The Bulldogs welcome back Sitili Tupouniua after five games out with a hamstring injury. Tupouniua is joined on the bench by two other new faces in Bronson Xerri and Jake Turpin, while Sean O'Sullivan, Jonathan Su'A and Alekolasimi Jones make way.

Storm: The return of gun playmaker Cameron Munster from a knee injury is a huge boost for the Storm. He will partner youngster Hayden Watson in the halves with Jahrome Hughes (hamstring) still sidelined. Tyran Wishart moves to hooker and Trent Toelau slides to the bench. Centre Jack Howarth returns after missing the Bulldogs game with a shoulder injury. Davvy Moale is the new face on the six-man bench in place of Alec MacDonald, who left the field late last week for a head injury assessment and has entered the concussion protocols.

Sea Eagles: Tolu Koula moves back to the centres and Blake Wilson comes in on the wing for his third NRL game of the season. Hooker Brandon Wakeham is back from a calf injury and back-rower Corey Waddell also returns from an ankle injury to fill the void left by Ben Trbojevic (concussion). Kobe Hetherington suffered a ruptured bicep in training yesterday and is scheduled to undergo surgery next week. Fletcher Baker has been added to the bench and is line for a club debut.
