Last updated: 11:30 am Sunday 13th April 2025

Dragons: Coach Shane Flanagan sticks with the same 17 that went down to the Eels in golden point on Saturday. Plenty of up-and-coming talent among the extended squad in the shape of Lyhkan King-Togia, Loko Pasifiki Tonga and Sione Finau while Mat Feagai is 18th man.

Titans: Winger Jojo Fifita (thigh) is back on deck so Phil Sami pushes to the centres, Beau Fermor reverts to the back row and David Fifita to the bench. Hooker Sam Verrills (hip) also returns, with Chris Randall sliding to lock to fill the hole left by the Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's suspension. Moeaki Fotuaika will captain Gold Coast for the third time in his career with Tino sidelined.

Broncos: Back-rower Brendan Piakura's two-game ban brings Jaiyden Hunt into the starting side and Martin Taupau onto the bench. Tyson Smoothy is the new 18th man.

Roosters: Veteran halfback Chad Townsend makes way for youngster Hugo Savala in just his fourth game and his first as a starter.

Speedster Mark Nawaqanitawase has been named 18th man and could come into the side later in the week should he recover from the calf injury that ruled him out of the Souths game.

Last updated: 09:56 am Sunday 13th April 2025

Eels: Zac Lomax was named on the wing on Tuesday but has been ruled out due to a fractured foot so a backline reshuffle will be needed. After a superb display against the Dragons, Ryley Smith will start at hooker and Charlie Guymer goes to the bench. Vastly experienced duo Ryan Matterson and Bailey Simonsson are among the reserves, with Simonsson a chance for a call-up following news of Lomax's injury.

Raiders: No changes to the team that got the job done in a thriller against the Sharks. Veteran prop Josh Papalii is named to start but may well slide to the bench on game day as he did last week. Trey Mooney is 18th man.

Warriors: Just the one change to the side that downed Wests Tigers before the bye with Rocco Berry's return from a hamstring injury shifting Adam Pompey to the wing and Ed Kosi to the reserves. Tanah Boyd is 18th man.
