FRIDAY AUGUST 11

Cronulla Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans at PointsBet Stadium, 6.00pm AEST

Last week’s Sharks team: 1. Connor Tracey 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 20. Mawene Hiroti 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Braden Hamlin-Uele 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Toby Rudolf 11. Briton Nikora 12. Wade Graham 13. Cameron McInnes 14. Jack Williams 15. Thomas Hazelton 16. Royce Hunt 18. Matt Moylan

Team Tips: Winger Ronaldo Mulitalo was a late scratching against the Rabbitohs with a jaw injury and will likely come back in at the expense of Mawene Hiroti despite his starring display in Round 23. Matt Moylan was a late inclusion on the bench for Jesse Colquhoun, but didn’t get on the field and the pair could swap back this week.

Last week’s Titans team: 14. Jayden Campbell 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. Aaron Schoupp 5. Phillip Sami 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 15. Chris Randall 10. Isaac Liu 11. David Fifita 12. Joe Stimson 13. Erin Clark 9. Sam Verrills 16. Klese Haas 17. Iszac Fa’asumaleaui 18. Keano Kini

Team Tips: Fullback AJ Brimson was a late scratching in Round 23 after failing to finish the warm-up due to an ongoing oblique injury, which has his season in doubt. Jayden Campbell slotted in at fullback and will be the No.1 should Brimson remain sidelined. Skipper Tino Fa’asuamaleaui returns from suspension in the front row in a timely boost with Moe Fotuaika set for a stint on the sidelines after being sent off for his tackle on Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.

Brisbane Broncos vs Parramatta Eels at The Gabba, 8.00pm AEST

Last week’s Broncos team: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Jesse Arthars 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Ezra Mam 21. Jock Madden 8. Thomas Flegler 9. Billy Walters 10. Payne Haas 11. Kurt Capewell 12. Brendan Piakura 13. Patrick Carrigan 14. Tyson Smoothy 15. Corey Jensen 17. Keenan Palasia 19. Xavier Willison

Team Tips: Skipper Adam Reynolds was a late scratching due to a groin injury, but will likely return in place of Jock Madden this week. Bench forward Kobe Hetherington was also a late scratching with a cork, but will likely return in place of Xavier Willison. Winger Jesse Arthars failed a HIA and Herbie Farnworth suffered a knee injury against the Cowboys, with Deine Mariner, Jordan Pereira and Tristan Sailor a chance to come into the backline.

Last week’s Eels team: 1. Clinton Gutherson 19. Arthur Miller-Stephen 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Bailey Simonsson 5. Sean Russell 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Joe Ofahengaue 9. Joey Lussick 10. Junior Paulo 11. Ryan Matterson 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. J’maine Hopgood 14. Luca Moretti 15. Andrew Davey 16. Wiremu Greig 17. Makahesi Makatoa

Team Tips: Dylan Brown made a successful return from suspension, while Arthur Miller-Stephen scored a try on debut on the wing. Zac Cini (hand) and Matt Doorey (ankle) remain sidelined. Maika Sivo and Reagan Campbell-Gillard are out until Round 25 due to suspensions.

SATURDAY AUGUST 12

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons at Barlow Park, Cairns, 3.00pm AEST

Last week’s Rabbitohs team: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 18. Tyrone Munro 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Jai Arrow 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Michael Chee Kam 13. Cameron Murray 14. Davvy Moale 15. Siliva Havili 16. Jed Cartwright 17. Tallis Duncan

Team Tips: Souths face a front row crisis with Tom Burgess to miss the rest of the regular season after accepting his three week suspension for hit hit on Tom Hazleton. Fellow prop Jai Arrow hobbled off with a back injury against the Sharks and faces a stint on the sidelines. Junior Tatola (knee) and Hame Sele remain sidelined with Davvy Moale likely to start in the front row and Jacob Host to come into the back row with Keaon Koloamatangi likely to have to play up front if Arrow is ruled out. Shaquai Mitchell would then come onto the bench.

Last week’s Dragons team: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Mathew Feagai 20. Jack Bird 4. Zac Lomax 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Talatau Amone 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Billy Burns 12. Dan Russell 15. Michael Molo 14. Connor Muhleisen 17. Zane Musgrove 18. Ryan Couchman 22. Ben Murdoch-Masila

Team Tips: Zac Lomax was not charged for his head slam tackle and is free to line up in the centres. Prop Francis Molo failed a HIA against the Eels and is in doubt. Michael Molo is a chance to replace his brother if he is ruled out, with Ben Murdoch-Masila potentially coming into the back row. Centre Moses Suli was a late scratching with a calf injury and replaced by Jack Bird. If Suli returns, Bird would likely shift to the back row. Lock Jack de Belin failed at the judiciary and is suspended with Toby Couchman a chance to come into the forward rotation after he was forced out by brother Ryan Couchman last week. Ryan Couchman escaped with a fine for his careless high tackle charge and is free to play. Prop Blake Lawrie was also fined for his high tackle against the Eels and will line up against the Bunnies.

Wests Tigers vs Warriors at FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton, 5.30pm AEST

Last week’s Tigers team: 1. Jahream Bula 2. David Nofoaluma 3. Starford To’a 4. Junior Tupou 5. Charlie Staines 6. Daine Laurie 7. Luke Brooks 8. Alex Twal 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. David Klemmer 11. Isaiah Papali’i 12. John Bateman 13. Fonua Pole 14. Jake Simpkin 15. Justin Matamua 16. Aitasi James 19. Alex Seyfarth

Team Tips: Winger Charlie Staines suffered a hamstring injury against the Raiders and looks set for a stint on the sidelines, with Asu Kepaoa likely to replace him. Five-eighth Daine Laurie failed a HIA and is in doubt with Brandon Wakeham and Will Smith vying to come in if he is ruled out. Stefano Utoikamanu and Shawn Blore are due back from concussion and will likely come in at prop and lock with Alex Twal and Fonua Pole switching to the bench and Justin Matamua and Alex Seyfarth likely making way.

Last week’s Warriors team: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Rocco Berry 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Luke Metcalf 7. Shaun Johnson 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10. Mitchell Barnett 11. Jackson Ford 12. Marata Niukore 13. Tohu Harris 14. Dylan Walker 16. Bayley Sironen 17. Josh Curran 18. Jazz Tevaga

Team Tips: Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad could miss Round 24 after failing a HIA following a tackle that resulted in Moeaki Fotuaika being sent off. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak looms as a potential replacement in the No.1 jersey, while young gun Taine Tuaupiki is another option. Winger Edward Kosi is sidelined with a knee injury until Round 25 at the earliest.

Sydney Roosters vs Dolphins at CommBank Stadium, 7.35pm AEST

Last week’s Roosters team: 1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Billy Smith 4. Joseph Manu 5. Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii 6. Luke Keary 14. Drew Hutchison 8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves 9. Brandon Smith 10. Lindsay Collins 11. Siua Wong 12. Nat Butcher 13. Victor Radley 7. Sandon Smith 15. Nathan Brown 16. Terrell May 17. Fletcher Baker

Team Tips: Nathan Brown copped a one game suspension for his tackle on Ben Trbojevic that saw him sent off. Egan Butcher returns from a head knock this week and will likely slot in on the bench for Brown, with Siua Wong starring in his starting debut last week. Paul Momirovski (shoulder), and Connor Watson (knee) are due back, but may struggle to force their way into a winning team. Naufahu Whyte (knee) remains sidelined. Sandon Smith was picked at halfback last week, but came off the bench with Drew Hutchison partnering Luke Keary in the halves and after beating the Sea Eagles we could see a repeat this week.

Last week’s Dolphins team: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Kodi Nikorima 4. Valynce Te Whare 5. Tesi Niu 16. Isaiya Katoa 7. Sean O’Sullivan 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Jeremy Marshall-King 10. Mark Nicholls 11. Felise Kaufusi 12. Connelly Lemuelu 13. Kenny Bromwich 6. Anthony Milford 14. Herman Ese’ese 15. Josh Kerr 17. Jarrod Wallace

Team Tips: Valynce Te Whare could be in danger of losing his place after some defensive lapses against the Knights, but who replaces him is less clear with Euan Aitken sidelined with a knee injury. Anthony Milford was picked at five-eighth last week, but came off the bench, with Isaiya Katoa partnering Sean O’Sullivan in the halves. Ray Stone is a chance to come into the 17.

SUNDAY AUGUST 13

Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders at AAMI Park, 2.00pm AEST

Last week’s Storm team: 1. Nick Meaney 2. William Warbrick 3. Marion Seve 4. Young Tonumaipea 21. George Jennings 6. Cameron Munster 20. Jonah Pezet 8. Tui Kamikamica 9. Harry Grant 10. Christian Welch 11. 14. Tom Eisenhuth Trent Loiero 13. Josh King 12. Nelson Asofa-Solomona 16. Tepai Moeroa 17. Eliesa Katoa 18. Tyran Wishart

Team Tips: Halfback Jahrome Hughes re-aggravated an ankle injury and may be sidelined again this week with Jonah Pezet on standby to fill the No.7 void again. Winger George Jennings is out after suffering an MCL injury. Jennings only played after Xavier Coates was a late scratching due to a hip injury and he will come into contention in Round 24. Ryan Papenhuyzen is a chance to return after his successful comeback in Queensland Cup but will likely have another game for the Storm feeder team to get some kilometres in his legs following a long-term knee injury. Reimis Smith (adductor) is due back, while Justin Olam (dropped) could be another change to the centres with Marion Seve and Young Tonumaipea struggling to make an impact against the Panthers.

Last week’s Raiders team: 1. Jordan Rapana 2. Albert Hopoate 3. Sebastian Kris 4. Matthew Timoko 5. Nick Cotric 6. Jack Wighton 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Josh Papali’i 9. Zac Woolford 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Corey Horsburgh 14. Adrian Trevilyan 15. Emre Guler 16. Pasami Saulo 17. Ata Mariota

Team Tips: Five-eighth Jack Wighton can escape with a fine for his contrary conduct charge against the Tigers. Centre Sebastian Kris suffered a hamstring injury against the Tigers and is set to be sidelined with Jarrod Croker his likely replacement.

Newcastle Knights vs Canterbury Bulldogs at McDonald Jones Stadium, 4.05pm AEST

Last week’s Knights team: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Adam Elliott 14. Kurt Mann 15. Brodie Jones 16. Jack Hetherington 17. Mathew Croker

Team Tips: Centre Bradman Best suffered a groin injury against the Dolphins with Enari Tuala likely to replace him if he is ruled out. Prop Jacob Saifiti suffered a hamstring injury with Jack Hetherington his likely replacement if he is ruled out, while Simi Sasigi or Jack Johns will join the bench. Daniel Saifiti is bidding for a return from a quad injury, but may not be ready in time for the Bulldogs clash.

Round 22 Bulldogs team: 1. Jake Averillo 2. Blake Wilson 3. Jacob Kiraz 4. Braidon Burns 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Matt Burton 7. Toby Sexton 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Tevita Pangai Junior 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Jacob Preston 21. Ryan Sutton 14. Kyle Flanagan 16. Corey Waddell 20. Harrison Edwards 23. Liam Knight

Team Tips: Cameron Ciraldo will likely stick with a winning formula from Round 22 after the bye with Harrison Edwards and new recruit Liam Knight coming onto the bench in the win over the Dolphins. Karl Oloapu is due back form a neck injury, but is unlikely to force his way into a winning side.

Bye: Cowboys
