After being rested after Origin III Patrick Carrigan is back at lock. Halfback Adam Reynolds is named to play despite picking up a wrist concern in last week's win over the Bulldogs.

Titans: Skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will miss the next three games after taking an early guilty to a shoulder charge on Reagan Campbell-Gillard so Isaac Liu will play prop and Erin Clark starts at lock. Maroons rep AJ Brimson returns to the No.1 jersey after being rested on Sunday so Jayden Campbell reverts to an impact role off the bench. Forward Joe Stimson returns after missing the Eels game due to concussion.

Roosters: The return of skipper James Tedesco at fullback, after he was rested in Round 20, means Joey Manu moves to the centres and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii shifts back to the wing. Junior Pauga is the man to make way. Jake Turpin retains the starting hooker role, with Brandon Smith set to come off the bench again after making his injury return last week. Terrell May is the new face on the bench after Naufahu Whyte suffered a knee injury in the loss to the Storm. (edited)
