Wests Tigers: Michael Maguire's side will start 1-17 after Oliver Clark and Michael Chee-Kam were the two players dropped from the squad an hour before kick-off. Josh Aloiai, David Nofoaluma and assistant coach Brett Hodgson were tested for COVID-19 on Thursday because they live in south-western Sydney suburbs that have been identified as hotspots.

Veteran playmaker Benji Marshall and young five-eighth Billy Walters are the new starting halves duo. Tommy Talau returns from a hamstring injury on the wing in place of Reece Hoffman. Hoffman and Shawn Blore were omitted from the reserves 24 hours before kick-off. Wests Tigers have won two of their past six games at Leichhardt.

Broncos: Richie Kennar will play his first game at centre for the Broncos this year against Wests Tigers on Friday night. Herbie Farnworth, who suffered a bad cork in the win over the Bulldogs, failed a fitness test on Thursday morning. Reserves Tom Dearden and Rhys Kennedy were the two players omitted an hour before kick-off. Along with Farnworth, Tyson Gamble was the other player to drop out of the extended squad on Thursday night.

Ben Te'o will start in the back row for injured skipper Alex Glenn with Joe Ofahengaue back from suspension on the bench in the only change from last week's drought-breaking win over Canterbury.

Winger Xavier Coates has a thigh complaint but is expected to play. The Broncos have won eight of their past 10 games against the Tigers.

Sea Eagles: Manly are 1-17 after cutting Haumole Olakau'atu and Tevita Funa from their final squad. Morgan Boyle (groin) is out. Taniela Paseka starts at prop and Corey Waddell joins the bench. The Sea Eagles have conceded 88 points in their past three games. Abbas Miski and Toafofoa Sipley were the two players left out 24 hours before the match.

Eels: Parramatta cut reserves Daniel Alvaro and Will Smith from their match-day 17 which confirms late-blooming 28-year-old Andrew Davey's NRL debut. Ryan Matterson (thumb) and Blake Ferguson are both out of the Parramatta team. George Jennings (No.19) will start on the wing and Brad Takairangi (No.17) will start in the second row. The Eels are hopeful star second-rower Matterson will only miss one week.

Junior Paulo will take his place despite back spasms ruling him out of the second half last week.

Rookie Stefano Utoikamanu gets a second game despite a slight biosecurity breach after full-time against the Knights. The Eels have won nine of their past 11 games against the Sea Eagles.
