Storm: Nelson Asofa-Solomona is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from the five-game ban that cost him a grand final berth last year. The only change to Craig Bellamy's 17 from Round 1 is on the wing, where Kiwi Will Warbrick (concussion) is replaced by Grant Anderson.

Panthers: The loss of Dylan Edwards to a groin injury sees Daine Laurie take over the No.1 jersey and Brad Schneider join the bench. Isaiah Papalii also joins the bench in his return from a hip injury that kept him out of Round 2. Matt Eisenhuth goes to the reserves list. Blaize Talagi is the new 18th man.

Warriors: Having put the train back on the tracks against Manly, the Warriors stick with the same 17 to face the Roosters. Experienced duo Rocco Berry and Bunty Afoa are part of the extended squad while Jacob Laban is 18th man.

Roosters: Three big ins for the Roosters with props Lindsay Collins (illness) and Spencer Leniu (suspension) and lock Victor Radley (concussion protocol) all back on deck. Makahesi Makatoa and Taylor Losalu have gone to the reserves list and Hugo Savala is 18th man. Young forward Salesi Foketi failed in his bid to have a Careless High Tackle charge downgraded at the judiciary on Tuesday night and has been suspended for two games so a new bench player will be needed.

Last updated: 05:34 am Tuesday 18th March 2025

Broncos: Star centre Kotoni Staggs is listed among the reserves as he closes in on a return from the quad injury that has kept him out of the first two games. Gehamat Shibasaki would be the man most likely to make way should Staggs come up. No panic at Red Hill with coach Michael Maguire naming the same 17 that went down to the Raiders.

Cowboys: A massive boost for the battling Cowboys with Jason Taumalolo named to return at prop from a Lisfranc injury. Maroons back-rower Jeremiah Nanai is also back after being banished to Queensland Cup last week. Experienced playmaker Jake Clifford is back in the No.7 jersey for his first game of 2025 following a disrupted pre-season due to hernia surgery with youngster Thomas Duffy on the reserves list. Braidon Burns' absence with a hamstring injury brings Robert Derby in on the wing for his first taste of NRL since mid-2023. Sam McIntyre will come from the bench after starting last week while Karl Lawton and Harrison Edwards have made way.

Sharks: Stability has been a cornerstone of Cronulla's success in recent seasons and coach Craig Fiztgibbon sticks with the same 17 that took care of business in Townsville. Prop Tuku Hau Tapuha has retained his place on the bench with fellow front-rower Tom Hazelton still troubled by back soreness. Brothers Hohepa and Niwhai Puru are part of the extended squad along with Mawene Hiroti while Billy Burns is 18th man.

Rabbitohs: Jack Wighton is back from suspension in the centres so Fletcher Myers pushes out to the wing and last week's debutant Bayleigh Bentley-Hape drops out. New recruit Mikaele Ravalawa is listed as 18th man. Back-rower Tallis Duncan has need named to start at lock despite fears he had suffered a hamstring injury against the Dragons. Duncan takes over from Lachlan Hubner, who is serving a two-game ban for a crusher tackle. Liam Le Blanc has been added to the bench.

Sea Eagles: Superstars Tom Trbojevic (hamstring tightness) and Daly Cherry-Evans (back spasm) have been named to play after being forced from the field late in the game against the Warriors. Centre Tolu Koula returns after missing Round 2 with a corked thigh. Prop Siosiua Taukeiaho (knee) is also back on deck so Josh Aloiai reverts to the bench and Toafofoa Sipley is out. Tommy Talau is listed as 18th man.

Raiders: Flying machine Xavier Savage is back from a one-match suspension and takes over on the wing from Albert Hopoate. In the forwards, Zac Hosking is out with a hand injury, his place in the starting side taken by Morgan Smithies, with Trey Mooney added to the bench. After a slashing two-try debut against the Broncos, Englishman Matthew Nicholson retains his place in the starting side.
