Knights: Centre Bradman Best returns after two games out with a calf injury and fills the hole left by Dane Gagai (hamstring).

Veteran Tyson Frizell starts in place of Francis Manuleleua, who will miss this week due to the late onset of concussion symptoms.

Sea Eagles: A massive in for Manly with gun fullback Tom Trbojevic returning after three games out with a hamstring injury. Clayton Faulalo has been shifted to five-eighth in place of Joey Walsh, who suffered a hairline fracture in his jaw during last Friday’s loss to the Dolphins. Back-rower Ben Trbojevic (concussion) is good to go so Corey Waddell moves to the bench. Prop Caleb Navale will come off the bench in his first NRL game of the year having returned from an ACL injury through NSW Cup last week.

Rabbitohs: Superstar Latrell Mitchell is listed among the reserves as he closes in on a return after 11 games on the sideline due to nerve issues in his lower back which have affected his leg and calf. Mitchell has been training this week and running more freely as he eyes a tilt at the finals. Euan Aitken has been promoted to the starting side with Adam Elliott sidelined by a groin injury. Liam Le Blanc has been added to the six-man interchange.

Warriors: Taine Tuaupiki moves into the starting side in place of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, who copped a two-game suspension for a hip drop tackle.
