Eels: Parramatta are 1-17, with Ray Stone and Oregon Kaufusi dropping off the reserve list on game day after Will Smith and George Jennings were cut on Wednesday night. Marquee forwards Ryan Matterson and Reagan Campbell-Gillard make their official club debuts in the Parramatta pack while Waqa Blake has won his battle to return from off-season surgery and will take his place in the centres. Maika Sivo also takes his place on the wing after being cleared to play by the NRL. The Eels will go into the clash with a monster bench featuring Brad Takairangi, Marata Nuikore, Kane Evans and Peni Terepo.

Bulldogs: The Bulldogs are also as named on Tuesday, with Ofahiki Ogden and Jake Averillo, Sione Katoa and Jack Cogger having dropped off the reserves list. Brandon Wakeham has been named to take Kieran Foran's place at five-eighth and will partner Lachlan Lewis in the halves. It's mostly good news on the injury front for the Bulldogs with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Christian Chrichton and Nick Meaney all back after missing the final trial and Jeremy Marshall-King taking his place in the starting side after seeing no trial action. But Sauaso Sue (knee) and Marcelo Montoya (knee) failed to make the 21-man squad, joining Raymond Faitala-Mariner (ankle) and Chris Smith (knee) on the sideline.

Raiders: Curtis Scott, who is facing several police charges, will make his Raiders debut in the centres after getting the OK to play from the NRL and ex-Super League star George Williams will take his bow in the No.7 jumper. Corey Horsburgh has won the fight to replace John Bateman in the second row while Bailey Simonsson will join Nik Cotric on the flanks. In addition to Bateman, Canberra go into round one without prop Ryan Sutton (one-match ban) and back-rower Hudson Young (suspended until round six). Semi Valemei and Tom Starling dropped off the extended bench on Thursday night. Jack Murchie and Sam Williams were omitted an hour before kick-off.

Titans: Injured duo Moeaki Fotuaika (wrist/knee) and AJ Brimson (back) were both officially ruled out and trimmed from the reserves list on Thursday.
Warriors recruit Sam Lisone joins Jarrod Wallace in the front row. Phillip Sami takes over Brimson's spot at fullback while veteran winger Anthony Don has beaten out former Bronco Jonas Pearson for the chance to partner fellow veteran Dale Copley on the wing. Star utility Tyrone Peachey joins English import Kallum Watkins in the centres while enigmatic back-rower Bryce Cartwright gets his chance to impress in the No.12 jumper. Former Newtown Jets prop Jaimin Joliffe has been named to make his NRL debut from the bench. Firebrand forward Keegan Hipgrave's immediate future remains clouded as he works to come back from three concussions while Shannon Boyd is still recovering after shoulder surgery. Sam Stone and Pearson were omitted an hour before kick-off.

Cowboys: A late change to the 17 with Shane Wright making way for Corey Jensen on the bench. Tom Opacic was the other player to drop out an hour before game time. Valentine Holmes will make his highly anticipated Cowboys debut, meaning a shift to five-eighth for playmaker Scott Drinkwater. Ex-Tiger Esan Marsters makes his first Cowboys appearance in the centres. Josh McGuire has a knee injury but couldn’t have played anyway because of a suspension from last season. Connelly Lemuelu and Jake Clifford dropped off the reserves list 24 hours before kick-off.

Broncos: With Jack Bird out for the season after suffering a torn ACL at training on Wednesday, Jamayne Isaako takes over at fullback. Isaako's place on the bench is taken by Herbie Farnworth, who played two games in his debut season in 2019. New skipper Alex Glenn failed to overcome his hamstring injury leaving young back-rower Patrick Carrigan and playmaker Brodie Croft to co-captain the side. Corey Oates completed a successful comeback from an infection to take his place in the season opener. New recruit Jesse Arthars gets a start on the wing while Jamil Hopoate will make his NRL debut off the bench after impressive form with Redcliffe during the past two seasons. Xavier Coates and Tom Dearden dropped off the reserves list on Thursday night while Ethan Bullemor was the last man cut an hour before kick-off.

Knights: Former Bronco Gehamat Shibasaki and ex-Cowboy Enari Tuala will form a fresh centre pairing for Newcastle, beating out Tautau Moga who missed the last trial because of a hamstring injury. Hooker Jayden Brailey also makes his Knights NRL debut. Veteran utility Kurt Mann is the victor in the race to partner Mitchell Pearce in the halves with up-and-coming playmaker Phoenix Crossland battling a pelvis complaint. Sione Mata’utia (knee) and rising rookie centre Bradman Best (foot, round four) will miss the opening weeks of the premiership.

Warriors: King Vuniyayawa replaces Karl Lawton on the interchange, with Hayze Perham also dropping out of the game day squad on Saturday. Kodi Nikorima has to content himself with a spot on the bench after being beaten to the No.6 jumper by talented young playmaker Chanel Harris-Tavita. Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has overcome a foot injury to start at the back but young back-rower Josh Curran (calf) and prop Agnatius Paasi (ankle) have both been left out of the 21-man squad.
