Storm: No changes for the minor premiers. Cameron Munster (shoulder) has put to bed any lingering doubts about his availability saying he was "fine" to play.

Raiders: Ricky Stuart has moved Josh Papali'i to the bench and promoted Dunamis Lui to start, while Ryan Sutton is out, replaced on the bench by Emre Guler. Hudson Young (suspension) and halfback Sam Williams were removed from the reserves list 24-hours from kick-off. Young will take no further part in the finals series after being banned for eight matches for eye-gouging. Siliva Havili was the last player cut before kick-off.

Sea Eagles: Manly will start 1-17 with Lachlan Croker and Tony Williams the match-day omissions after Cade Cust and Tevita Funa were the first cuts from the squad 24 hours out. Centre Brad Parker passed concussion protocols to line up. Haumole Olakau'atu will make his debut from the bench after Des Hasler elected not to promote Williams into the 17. Toafofoa Sipley is the other new face on Hasler's bench. A huge assignment for Sean Keppie in just his second NRL game as he moves into the starting side to replace Marty Taupau (suspension). Corey Waddell comes into the starting side for Taniela Paseka (knee) while Jack Gosiewski returns from a knee injury to fill the hole left by Curtis Sironen (foot). The Sea Eagles have won 10 of their past 11 games against the Sharks.

Sharks: Andrew Fifita has been promoted from the bench in a swap with prop Aaron Woods but otherwise Cronulla are 1-17. Matt Moylan has been ruled out due to a persistent hamstring injury. Blayke Brailey was the other omission the day before the game. Aaron Gray comes in on the wing to replace the suspended Ronaldo Mulitalo.
