NRL Late Mail: Round 27

Broncos v Storm, Thursday 7.50pm at Suncorp Stadium

Broncos: Brisbane will be without Payne Haas for the final game of the season as he continues to battle a foot injury. Jaiyden Hunt will make his return from hand surgery in place of the injured Brendan Piakura. A quad injury to Kotoni Staggs has also triggered a backline reshuffle with Selwyn Cobbo moving to the centres and veteran Corey Oates coming into the wing for his first match since Round 22.

Storm: Coach Craig Bellamy revealed on Wednesday morning that Christian Welch is in doubt as he battles a back injury, with a final decision to be made closer to kick off. Origin winger Xavier Coates completed training on Wednesday as he looks to play his first game since Round 17, with Bellamy to leave the final decision up to medical staff. A week after resting 11 players, Melbourne welcome back a host of big names for the clash. Ryan Papenhuyzen, however, will miss the match with a leg injury, with emerging talent Sua Faalogo to line up at fullback.

Wests Tigers v Eels, Friday 6.00pm at Campbelltown Sports Stadium

Wests Tigers: Aidan Sezer was initially named in the side but it looks like he will succumb to a shoulder injury picked up a fortnight ago. As a result, Latu Fainu is expected to start at halfback, with Tony Sukkar in the mix for his NRL debut. Solomon Alaimalo will miss the game due to concussion protocols, with Josh Feledy coming into the centres and Junior Tupou to line up on the wing.

Eels: Sean Russell and Kelma Tuilagi are set to return for Parramatta in their bid to avoid the wooden spoon. Jake Tago has dropped out of the side while Shaun Lane will start at prop, with Ofahiki Ogden shifting to the bench.
