Sea Eagles: With Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Tolutau Koula, Josh Aloiai, Haumole Olakau'atu, Toafofoa Sipley and Josh Schuster standing themselves down due to personal beliefs, the Sea Eagles will have two debutants on the wing in Pio Seci and Alfred Smalley, while prop Kurt de Luis and second-rower Ethan Bullemor also join the starting side.
Forward leader Jake Trbojevic, hooker Lachlan Croker and back-rower Andrew Davey all return after missing Round 19 due to COVID while Sean Keppie has been named on the bench despite suffering a shoulder injury against the Dragons. He is joined on the bench by James Segeyaro in his first NRL game for the club, Martin Taupau and Morgan Boyle.
Roosters: Star centre Joey Manu (quad) is back on deck so Drew Hutchison slides to the bench. Maroons prop Lindsay Collins' return from the concussion he suffered in Origin Three sees Matt Lodge go to the interchange. Terrell May and Adam Keighran are the two men to drop off the bench.

Panthers: Stephen Crichton will miss the game after suffering a laceration to his left ear against the Sharks which required plastic surgery last week. His place in the centres is taken by Robert Jennings. Five-eighth Jarome Luai is out with a knee injury, replaced by Sean O'Sullivan. After being a late withdrawal in Round 19, prop Moses Leota is listed among the reserves while Charlie Staines has been added to the bench in place of the injured Mitch Kenny (knee).

Last updated:
Titans: Captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui moves to prop in order for Erin Clark to start at lock, following a couple of impressive outings as a middle forward. Isaac Liu is the man to make way, moving to the interchange which once again includes Jayden Campbell. Brian Kelly takes Corey Thompson's spot in the 17, assuming a centre spot which means Patrick Herbert moves out to the wing. Kevin Proctor has been released from his commitments with the club for the remainder of the year after he was sanctioned on Monday.
Raiders: Ricky Stuart has stuck with the same 17 that got the job done against the Warriors, with two-try hero Corey Harawira-Naera remaining on the bench. Semi Valemei has been included in the reserves after missing time with a knee injury, while there's no sign of youngster James Schiller (ankle) in the squad.

Kurt Mann (leg) and Dominic Young (back/ribs) are listed among the reserves as they look to return after missing the Roosters game.
Bulldogs: Jake Averillo (COVID protocols) returns in the No.1 jersey so Declan Casey goes to the reserves list. Back-rower Raymond Faitala-Mariner is out with a rib cartlage injury so Josh Jackson goes to lock and Jackson Topine comes into the side in the second row. Corey Waddell was found guilty of dangerous contact at the judiciary on Tuesday night and was hit with a five-match ban so Mick Potter will need to find a replacement in the second row.

Dragons: Fullback Cody Ramsey is set to miss two games with a knee injury so the versatile Moses Mbye takes the No.1 jersey, Jack Bird goes to centre, Tariq Sims comes into the starting side at lock and Aaron Woods joins the bench. With Jayden Sullivan sidelined by a shoulder injury Tyrell Sloan gets a recall on the bench for his first game since Round 10.
Cowboys: Todd Payten has named the same 17 that snuck past Wests Tigers. Reuben Cotter's rehabilitation from the hamstring injury he suffered during the warm-up for the Round 15 clash with Manly is progressing well and he's a chance to join the 17 on game day after being named in the reserves.
