Check out all the late mail for the final two games of round six of the 2020 NRL season.
LATE MAIL
Raiders: A number players picked up bumps and bruises against the Tigers, headlined by Jack Wighton (head cut), George Williams (knee), Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (knock), Jordan Rapana (shoulder/HIA) and Joseph Tapine (nose). All are expected to play. Corey Horsburgh (gastro) returns after he was a late withdrawal last weekend.
Sea Eagles: Curtis Sironen has overcome a knee injury to be fit for Manly. Sironen missed the Sea Eagles’ come-from-behind win over Brisbane last Thursday, after jarring his knee in the previous week’s loss to Parramatta. He has trained without incident this week and is confident he will play.
LATE MAIL
Sharks: John Morris has made at least one change with new signing Bryson Goodwin to start after his midweek arrival in Cronulla. It’s expected that he will come on to the left wing to replace Mawene Hiroti. Sione Katoa (wrist) will play while Matt Moylan has been given till the last minute to prove his fitness having survived the initial cut from 21 to 19 men . Toby Rudolf could start at lock again with Jack Williams dropping back to the bench like last week.
Bulldogs: Coach Dean Pay pulled a surprise move dumping halfback Lachlan Lewis in favour of Brandon Wakeham. No other changes expected with Kerrod Holland having recovered from the rib cartilage injury which kept him out of the Roosters game on Monday. With Nick Meaney out with a hip injury, I expect Jake Averillo to be handed the goalkicking duties.
