Panthers: Gun fullback Dylan Edwards is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a shoulder injury. Edwards' last match was Round 20 against the Broncos. Lindsay Smith shifts from prop to lock to take over from skipper Isaah Yeo (pectoral) while Liam Henry starts in the front row. Jack Cogger will wear the No.6 jersey after missing last week's trip to Auckland to remain in Sydney with his pregnant wife. Jack Cole goes back to the bench as a result.

Roosters: Skipper James Tedesco is back in the No.1 jersey after sitting out the Bulldogs game with an ankle injury. Cody Ramsey gets a spot in the six-man interchange after filling in at fullback last week. Spencer Leniu has again been named to start in the front row but could make a late switch back to the bench as he did last week when Nat Butcher started.
