Last updated:
Bulldogs: Josh Curran comes into the starting side for Viliame Kikau, who has been hospitalised with a skin infection. Prop Harry Hayes is facing six weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury so Daniel Suluka-Fifita has been added to the bench.
Panthers: With the top four out of reach Ivan Cleary has chosen to rest 16 of his frontline players. Back-rower Matt Eisenhuth will captain a side that includes premiership winners Paul Alamoti on the wing and Jack Cole at halfback while back-rower Zac Lipowicz, centres John Fonua and David Fale and bench forward Billy Phillips make their NRL debuts.

Warriors: No changes to Andrew Webster's squad. Demitric Vaimauga is again named to start with Tanner Stowers-Smith on the bench but they may swap on game day as they did last week.

Last updated:
Storm: Bronson Garlick takes over at hooker for the suspended Harry Grant while Ativalu Liseti joins the bench in place of Tui Kamikamica (concussion). With Xavier Coates, Nick Meaney, Eli Katoa and Josh King being rested, Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown and Kane Bradley are the new wingers and Grant Anderson moves to centre. Alec MacDonald starts at prop, Shawn Blore returns from an ankle injury in the back row and Nelson Asofa-Solomona has been added to the bench. Kiwi winger Will Warbrick is listed among the reserves after making a successful return to the paddock in Qld Cup last weekend. Warbrick hasn't played since suffering a concussion in Round 4.
Roosters: Hugo Savala moves to halfback and Sandon Smith is the new No.6 with Sam Walker sidelined by concussion. Veteran winger Daniel Tupou returns after missing Round 25 with concussion. No changes in the forward pack for the Roosters as they look to solidify eighth spot with a win in Melbourne.

Titans: Coach Des Hasler has named the same 17 that went down to the Warriors in Round 25 as he looks to lift his team out of the cellar.
