Roosters: Angus Crichton has again been named to return from a foot injury after being a late withdrawal last week. Back-rower Salesi Foketi left the field for a HIA inside the final 15 minutes last Sunday but is right to play. He comes into the side in place of Egan Butcher (concussion). Young playmaker Toby Rodwell is part of the extended squad having recovered from a head knock suffered in Round 27 against Souths.

Sharks: Just the one change for Craig Fitzgibbon with back-up hooker Jayden Berrell recalled on the bench for his fifth NRL game of the season and his first since Round 18. Niwhai Peru has dropped back to the reserves after being a late call-up last week to replace his brother Hohepa, who withdrew due to illness. Outside backs Mawene Hiroti and Sam Stonestreet are part of the extended squad.

Warriors: A cruel blow for Jackson Ford who played just 24 minutes against the Dolphins in his return from a pectoral injury and is now sidelined again with an ankle injury. His place on the bench is taken by Morgan Gannon. After being a late withdrawal last week with a hamstring twinge suffered in the warm-up, Leka Halasima is listed among the reserves. Also named in the extended squad is winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who has been sidelined since Round 25 when he suffered a broken collarbone against Souths.

Knights: Gun back-rower Dylan Lucas has been sidelined since Round 21 with a fractured ankle suffered against the Roosters but he has been named among the reserves as he makes a late bid to get back on the paddock in 2026. The Knights have named the same 19-man squad that took care of the Rabbitohs in last week's elimination final.
