NRL team lists round 3, 2019

A host of injuries and poor performances have led to a mass cleanout of several NRL sides. Canterbury, North Queensland and the Roosters will run out new-look sides to last weekend.

Welcome to our live coverage of the Round 3 NRL teams.

Scroll down for every 21-man squad and re-live our live blog with Tom Sangster.

WINNERS

• Tom Trbojevic - The SuperCoach superstar returns from a hamstring injury.

• Reuben Garrick - The popular cheapie retains his wing spot despite the return of Trbojevic, with Brendan Elliot the man to make way.

• Mikaele Ravalawa - The Fijian winger remains on the wing for the Dragons despite a poor display, although Zac Lomax is lurking on the extended bench.

• Maika Sivo - Retained on the Parramatta wing, although George Jennings (knee) may yet take his spot after being named on the extended bench.

• Rhyse Martin - The fantasy favourite has been recalled for the struggling Bulldogs after scoring two tries in reserve grade on the weekend, although he may struggle for minutes on the bench.

• Braidon Burns - Buy of the week following a stunning start to the season at left centre for the Rabbitohs.

• Luke Garner - Another value buy. Garner retains his left edge back row spot at the Tigers, where he has averaged 65 over the first two rounds.

LOSERS

• Tom Opacic - The popular cheapie has been axed by Cowboys coach Paul Green.

• John Bateman - The Canberra mid-ranger moves from lock to the edge, where his work rate will drop.

• Jason Taumalolo - Almost half of SuperCoaches are the hunt for a replacement with Taumalolo ruled out for 6-10 weeks due to a knee injury.

• Brett Morris - 13 per cent of SuperCoaches are on the lookout for a new winger with Morris to miss a fortnight due to a knee injury.

• Bronson Xerri - The popular cheapie has been named out of the 17. However, he trained at right centre on Tuesday and is in the running for an NRL debut due to a backline injury crisis at the Sharks.
