Sharks: A late switch with Matt Prior to start at prop and Braden Hamlin-Uele moving to the bench. Prior's big-game experience will help cover for the absence of the suspended Andrew Fifita. Josh Dugan comes in at fullback for Matt Moylan, while Josh Morris returns at centre. Billy Magoulias will make his debut off the bench. Kyle Flanagan and Scott Sorensen dropped out of the extended squad on Wednesday night. Jayson Bukuya and Sione Katoa were omitted an hour before kick-off.
Cowboys: No sign of Michael Morgan (concussion) in the 21-man squad to face Cronulla. The skipper hasn't played since Origin III and is being closely monitored. Coen Hess was named on the bench but has moved into the starting side an hour before game time with Javid Bowen dropping out. Corey Jensen comes onto the bench. Peter Hola was the last man omitted before kick-off while Reuben Cotter and Gideon Gela-Mosby had dropped off the reserves list 24 hours before kick-off.

Knights: Nathan Brown has stuck with the same 17 and resisted the temptation to make any late changes.

Jacob Saifiti and Mason Lino were omitted an hour before kick-off. Knights fullback Kalyn Ponga has scored 34 points in his past two games at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Wests Tigers: A change on Thursday with Jacob Liddle replaced on the bench by Matt Eisenhuth as Michael Maguire opts for four forwards on the bench. Josh Reynolds was the other player omitted 24 hours before kick-off. Tommy Talau and Chris McQueen were removed an hour beforehand. Wests Tigers have won three of their past four games against the Knights.

Rabbitohs: Wayne Bennett named the same 17 which came from behind to beat the Cowboys last weekend but Thomas Burgess (ankle) is the big inclusion an hour before kick-off.

Dragons: Great news for the Dragons with skipper Gareth Widdop named for his first game since dislocating his shoulder in round three. Widdop will resume his playmaking partnership with Ben Hunt, who returns from a post-Origin rest. Widdop's return sees Corey Norman shift to fullback and Matt Dufty moved to the bench. Teenage winger Jason Saab has been handed his debut and Zac Lomax returns from a broken thumb on the other wing. Jacob Host and Patrick Kaufusi dropped out of the extended squad on Thursday while Mikaele Ravalawa and Reece Robson made way an hour before game time.

Eels: Josh Hoffman is out of the Eels side to face the Warriors, with Ethan Parry to play his second NRL match in his place. Waqa Blake is expected to play for his new club after two months out with a syndesmosis injury during his time at Penrith. Brad Arthur has opted for a four-man forward rotation on the bench with Jaeman Salmon listed in the reserves, meaning hooker Reed Mahoney could play 80 minutes. Jaeman Salmon and Andrew Davey were the last players cut before kick-off, while Hoffman and Tim Mannah were omitted on Friday.
Warriors: Kodi Nikorima has been ruled out of the Warriors side to face Parramatta on Saturday after failing to overcome an ankle injury. Chanel Harris-Tavita (No.21) will start the match at five-eighth. Ken Maumalo is a confirmed starter after missing last week's win over the Sharks as a precaution following a head knock. Nikorima and Chris Satae were the two players left out on Friday, while Adam Pompey and Liligiifo Sao were cut an hour prior to kick-off.

Panthers: With his team riding a seven-game winning streak Ivan Cleary named the same 17 which took care of the Dragons last week but has been forced to make one change with Viliame Kikau unsuccessful at the judiciary on Tuesday night. Isaah Yeo moves to the back-row and Liam Martin will start at lock. Spencer Leniu was cut from the reserves on Saturday, while Jed Cartwright and Stephen Crichton were omitted an hour before kick-off.
Raiders: Ricky Stuart has named Queensland star Josh Papalii to start at prop, but he did the same thing last week before moving him to the bench and going with Sia Soliola as the starter. There are no other changes to the team that beat Wests Tigers 20-12. Royce Hunt and Junior Collins were omitted on Saturday. In his final trim an hour before kick-off, Stuart left out Sam Williams and Sebastian Kris.
