WELCOME to our live coverage of the round seven NRL teams.

As usual, the teams will drop at 5pm, but here’s a sneak peek of what we know already:

• SHAUN Fensom (ankle) is a chance of playing this week and expected to be named, despite picking up what was initially feared to be a serious injury on the weekend;

• THERE is a strong tip Robert Jennings, youngest brother of Michael and George, will debut for the Panthers in place of Jamal Idris (ACL, season). Peter Wallace and Elijah Taylor (both knee) are also likely to miss the game;

EARLY mail: Predicted NRL team changes

• JUSTIN Hodges trained today and is a certain inclusion for the Broncos. His return will see Dale Copley move to the wing and Daniel Vidot drop out;

• The Warriors are unchanged. Team: TUIMOALA LOLOHEA, JONATHAN WRIGHT, KONRAD HURRELL, SOLOMONE KATA, MANU VATUVEI, CHAD TOWNSEND, SHAUN JOHNSON, JACOB LILLYMAN, THOMAS LEULUAI, BEN MATULINO, BODENE THOMPSON, RYAN HOFFMAN, SIMON MANNERING (c). Interchange: NATHAN FRIEND, DOMINIQUE PEYROUX, SAM LISONE, ALBERT VETE, RAYMOND FAITALA-MARINER

• THE Bulldogs have been hit hard by injuries again and are sweating on the fitness of Tim Browne (concussion), Chase Stanley (knee) and Josh Morris (ankle);

• BRAD Takairangi and Semi Radradra (both knee) are eyeing early returns for Parramatta;

• THE Dragons will lose Jason Nightingale (ankle) for two weeks. Tyson Frizell is challenging his high tackle charge in the hope of having his suspension reduced from two weeks to one week;

• THE Sharks will be without Andrew Fifita. He is challenging his lifting tackle charge and faces two weeks if he wins or six weeks if he loses;

• JOHN Sutton (broken jaw) and Dylan Walker (broken hand) will push for Rabbitohs returns, although Jason Clark (concussion) is in doubt;

• TARIQ Sims and Jarrod Mullen (both shoulder) are expected to be named for the Knights, but face fitness tests.
