Broncos: Corey Oates is being rested after Origin and been replaced on the wing by Jamayne Isaako. After a courageous win over the Sharks without their Origin reps the Broncos are bolstered by the return of Maroons stars David Fifita and Joe Ofahengaue while Anthony Milford (knee) is also back. Milford will again play fullback with Darius Boyd at five-eighth and Jake Turpin moving to halfback to replace Sean O'Sullivan (hamstring). Two of the Baby Broncos retain their spots - high-flying winger Xavier Coates and Herbie Farnworth, who moves from wing to centre to replace the injured Gehamat Shibasaki (finger). Keenan Palasia, Cory Paix and Izaia Perese were omitted from the extended squad on Friday, while Rhys Kennedy dropped out of the squad an hour prior to kick-off.

Warriors: The Warriors are 1-17. Issac Luke comes into the starting line-up at hooker for Karl Lawton (shoulder), while Chanel Harris-Tevita is the new face on the bench. Stephen Kearney has made no other changes to the team that beat the Knights 24-20 in Newcastle. Hayze Perham and Leivaha Pulu were omitted 24 hours before kick-off.

Wests Tigers: Captain Moses Mbye has been named in the centres to back up from Origin III on Wednesday.

After Josh Reynolds and Oliver Clark were trimmed from the reserves list on Saturday, Paul Momirovski and Chris McQueen were left out an hour before kick-off.

Eels: Unsurprisingly, Brad Arthur pretty much kept the team that beat Canberra intact, with Marata Niukore coming onto the bench for Peni Terepo in the only change to the 17-man side. After Arthur cut Bevan French and Greg Leleisluao from the squad on Saturday, Oregon Kaufusi and Daniel Alvaro were left out an hour before game time.
