[Team Changes - The Eels lose Tim Mannah and Jarryd Hayne to Origin 3 duty, while Ryan Morgan did a hamstring v Canberra. Etu Uaisele, Chris Walker, Manase Manuokafoa and Reni Matiua are the new faces in the team. Luke Burt shifts to fullback and Mitchell Allgood starts at prop. ]

BRI: Hoffman, Copley, Reed, Beale, Gagai, Norman), Wallace, Kenny, Baptiste, Anderson, Glenn (c), Lui, Gillett. Bench: McCullough, Hunt, Dodds, Hala.

[Team Changes - The Broncos lose Corey Parker, Jharal Yow Yeh, Justin Hodges, Ben Hannant, Sam Thaiday and Darren Lockyer for Origin 3 but regain Ben Hunt and Andrew McCullough who served an in-club suspension (but played QLD Cup) last weekend. Dane Gagai comes in on the wing, Corey Norman starts at five-eighth, Nick Kenny at prop, Dunamis Lui in the second row and Matt Gillett starts at lock. Mitchell Dodds is the other new face on the bench. ]

PANTHERS v BULLDOGS

@ Centrebet Saturday Night

PEN: Coote, Simmons, Vaivai, Tighe, Purtell, Burns, Walsh, McKendry, Kingston, Grant, Waterhouse (c), Plum, Smith. Bench: Seluini, Weston, Bell, Fatiaki, Walker, Seijka.

[Team Changes - The Panthers have Petero Civoniceva and Luke Lewis on Origin 3 duty. Kevin Kingston is not 100% with a groin problem and Junior Vaivai has a bruised knee. As a result Ryan Walker and Harry Seijka are in line to make their NRL debuts after being named on an extended bench and Nigel Plum returns from a knee injury in the second row. ]

CBY: Barba, Turner, Idris, Morris, Wright, Keating, Hodkinson, Tolman, Halatau, Hodgson, Pritchard, Ryan (c), Stagg. Bench: Kasiano, Eastwood, Payne, Roberts.

[Team Changes - The Bulldogs lose Michael Ennis to NSW Origin duty but have named Frank Pritchard despite him picking up a rib injury last week. Dene Halatau will play hooker, while David Stagg regains his starting spot at lock. Ben Roberts is the new face on the bench. ]

SHARKS v RABBITOHS

@ Toyota Sunday Afternoon

CRO: Gardner, M Wright, Pomeroy, Best, Stapleton, Graham, Townsend, Snowden, Morris, Douglas, Bukuya, Tupou, Smith. Bench: Mannah, Tagataese, Flanagan, Tautai.

[Team Changes - The Sharks lose Paul Gallen to Origin 3 but regain Kade Snowden in the only change to the 17 that defeated the Titans in Round 16. ]

SOU: Wesser, Merritt, Farrell, Corrigan, Roberts, Sutton, Sandow, Ross, Luke, McPherson, McQueen, Pettybourne, Crocker (c). Bench: L Burgess, Tyrrell, Clark, Peats.

[Team Changes - The Bunnies have lost Dave Taylor to suspension and Greg Inglis to Origin 3. Shaun Corrigan replaces Inglis, while Eddy Pettybourne starts for Taylor. New English signing Luke Burgess is set to make his NRL debut from the bench. ]

DRAGONS v KNIGHTS

@ WIN Sunday Afternoon

STI: Nightingale, Tagive, McKinnon, Stanley, Simmonds, Fien, Hornby (c), Hunt, Young, Weyman, Cuthbertson, Greenfield, Prior. Bench: Green, Rein, De Belin, Gower, Bosden, Marketo.

[Team Changes - The Dragons have a thousand Origin players... out go Beau Scott, Ben Creagh, Jamie Soward, Trent Merrin, Brett Morris, Darius Boyd and Mark Gasnier - although Merrin and Morris could be an outside chance of playing club footy this weekend if they doesn't make the final NSW 17. In come Peni Tagive, Alex McKinnon, Reece Simmonds, Ben Hornby, Michael Greenfield, David Gower, Jack Bosden and Jake Marketo to the squad. Rookie forward Jack De Belin retains his spot on the bench. ]

NEW: W Naiqama (c), McManus, Sa'u, Lulia, Mata'utia, Roberts, Stig, Fa'aoso, De Gois, Tuimavave, Houston, Edwards, Southern. Bench: Hilder, Kaufusi, Ciraldo, Tolar, Karawana.

[Team Changes - The Knights didn't have Kurt Gidley (Hammy) last weekend but lose him this week to Origin 3 duty as well as Akuila Uate. James McManus has been named to return from an ankle injury but is no certainty and Adam MacDougall (despite not being named) is an outside chance. Ryan Stig and Tyrone Roberts are the halves. Steven Southern starts at lock with Neville Costigan out with a knee injury and Matt Hilder is on the bench with Cameron Ciraldo and Marvin Karawana - the latter are additions to the squad this week. ]

ROOSTERS v RAIDERS

@ SFS Monday Night

SYD: Khierallah, Perrett, J Carney, Kenny-Dowall, Leilua, Anasta (c), T Carney, Ryles, Friend, , Waerea-Hargreaves, Symonds, Takairangi, Guerraa. Bench: Waerea-Hargreaves, Masoe, Guerra, Symonds.

[Team Changes - The Roosters lose Anthony Minichiello, Nate Myles and Mitchell Pearce to Origin 3 duty but might get Shaun Kenny-Dowall back this week. Frank-Paul Nu'uausala is suspended and Boyd Cordner is injured, so Aiden Guerra, Brad Takairangi and Tom Symonds are the new backrow. Braith Anasta goes to five-eighth while Mark Khierallah is the new face at fullback. Justin Carney might be unlikely considering his hammy injury late in Sunday's loss to the Knights. While Tinirau Arona is the new face on the bench. ]

CAN: Massey, Ferguson, Croker, Thompson, Robinson, McCrone, Williams, White, Tongue (c), Learoyd-Lahrs, Picker, Papalii, Fensom. Bench: Buttriss, Harrison, Tilse, Thurling, Miller.

[Team Changes - Canberra have not named Josh Dugan but he is considered a decent change to play given the game is on Monday. Tom Learoyd-Lahrs starts for David Shillington to aggravated a pectoral injury and Trevor Thurling is the new player on the bench. Josh Miller has also been named on the extended bench but is yet to face a QLD Cup judicial charge for striking. ]
