Panthers: Five-eighth Jarome Luai (shoulder) and centre Izack Tago (pectoral) are both back on deck in a boost for the premiers. Luai has missed the past two matches after dislocating his shoulder against the Eels in Round 26. Jack Cogger and Luke Garner go back to the interchange bench while Zac Hosking goes to the reserves and Tyrone Peachey to 18th Man. Nathan Cleary reportedly suffered a finger injury at training on Monday but has been named at halfback and is good to go.

Storm: Jahrome Hughes has been named to return from a calf injury at halfback but Xavier Coates (ankle) remains sidelined so Reimis Smith retains his spot on the wing. Hughes' return sees Tyran Wishart slide back to the bench and Bronson Garlick goes to the reserves. Forward Tui Kamikamica (head knock) has been included in the run-on side. Centre Young Tonumaipea (head cut) remains sidelined.

Broncos: With the benefit of being able to rest up during week two of the finals, Brisbane have named the same 17 who hammered the Storm in week one. That means Jesse Arthars remains the preferred left winger ahead of veteran Corey Oates, who has been included as the 18th Man. Captain Adam Reynolds (calf) and Origin lock Pat Carrigan (foot) both came through the Storm clash untroubled after missing football in the lead-up to the finals.

Warriors: The same 17 that got the job done in convincing fashion against the Knights last week has been retained, with Shaun Johnson not expected to be in any doubt this week after pulling up well in his return from a calf injury. Josh Curran (dislocated finger) and Marata Niukore (knee) are both named and expected to play despite suffering injuries in week two. Centre Adam Pompey is the only player in the squad who has been on the field for every minute of their 26 games in 2023.
