SuperCoach news:
Knights – Lachlan Fitzgibbon returns from injury for the Knights and replaces Aidan Guerra in the starting side, with Guerra benched and Brodie Jones out of the team. Kurt Mann has once again been named despite nursing an ankle injury that he played through in Round 5.
Broncos: Kotoni Staggs is out for the Broncos after suffering a hamstring injury with Corey Oates moving back to the wing and Herbie Farnworth moving to centre. Alex Glenn and Tevit Pangai make their returns in the back row, moving Joe Ofahengaue to the bench and Rhys Kennedy into the reserves.
SuperCoach news:
Rabbitohs: No changes. James Roberts could be a late inclusion. Latrell Mitchell is a ‘buy’ in the eyes of many after scoring his first triple figure game last week and Cody Walker is also one to watch.
Warriors: No changes, but David Fusitu’a has been included on an extended bench which also includes Agnatius Paasi and Isaiah Papali’i so watch for late changes.
SuperCoach news:
Panthers: Dylan Edwards has been named at fullback as he returns from injury, moving Caleb Aekins to the bench, while Liam Martin replaces Kurt Capewell in the starting side and Billy Burns joins the bench.
Storm: Melbourne are unchanged from last week after a win over the Newcastle Knights. Brandon Smith has been named on the bench, but could be a late inclusion after replacing Christian Welch on game day for the past two weeks.
SuperCoach news:
Titans: Gold Coast’s new signing Corey Thompson is straight into the team at fullback, moving fill-in No. 1 Phillip Sami to the wing. Dale Copley is out with an ankle injury and will be replaced by Brian Kelly.
Dragons: Fresh off their first win of 2020, the Dragons will once again start James Graham in a straight swap for Trent Merrin who moves back to the bench.
SuperCoach news:
Tigers: Luciano Leilua is named in the starting 13 for the Wests Tigers despite hobbling from the field last weekend. Russell Packer (suspended) is out with Matt Eisenhuth called up for his first game of the season as is second row/utility Sam McIntyre. Cheapies Tommy Talau and Alex Sayfarth are dropped. Great news for Harry Grant again with no bench hooker named.
Cowboys: As expected Val Holmes (ankle) is out with Hamiso ‘Hammer’ Tabuia-Fidow named to start at fullback in his place. Jordan McLean (injured) is out too and that sees Francis Molo win a start for the Cowboys. Cheapie Connely Lemuelu is a starter on the wing with Ben Hampton pushed to the bench and he’s joined there by young forwards Corey Jensen and Peter Hola.
Super Coach news:
Roosters: The Roosters welcome back enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves for their clash with the Eels in an otherwise settled squad. Sitili Tupouniua is the player to make way for JWH.
Eels: Parramatta lose Kane Evans (suspension) and his place is taken on the bench by Oregon Kaufusi with no other changes for the Eels.
SuperCoach news:
Raiders: Corey Horsburgh returns for the Raiders and is named to start at lock. Jordan Rapana has ousted Bailey Simonsson from the wing with Simonsson pushed to the reserves. Hudson Young is finally eligible for selection after his lengthy suspension for eye gouging and he has been named on the interchange bench.
Sea Eagles: Some movement for the Sea Eagles with Martin Taupau (thumb) and Moses Suli (finger) not selected. Taniela Paseka wins a start in place of Taupau and Morgan Boyle comes on to the bench in place of Paseka while Brendan Elliott is tasked with filling Suli’s oversized shoes at centre. Curtis Sironen returns at the cost of Corey Waddell. Still no sign of Jorge Taufua (quad) which gives youngster Tevita Funa another game in first grade.
SuperCoach news:
Sharks: It’s a settled Sharks line-up with the only changes being Connor Tracey and Scott Sorensen shifting from the bench to the reserves in favour of Royce Hunt and Siosifa Talakai. There are big names luring in the reserves though with both Matt Moylan and new recruit Bryson Goodwin named there and every chance to be promoted to the 17.
Bulldogs: Reimis Smith’s return at centre sees a backline reshuffle for the Bulldogs with Jake Averillo shifting form centre to the wing and Nick Meaney dropped out of the 21. Elsewhere, Suaso Sue (interchange) loses his starting prop role to Renouf To’omaga and Kerrod Holland resumes his bench utility spot in place of Morgan Harper.
