Rabbitohs: Back-rower Jacob Host (suspended) has been replaced by Michael Chee Kam in the starting side. Siliva Havili returns on the bench after playing NSW Cup last weekend while Shaquai Mitchell also joins the bench. Jed Cartwright and Peter Mamouzelos drop out.

Raiders: Prop Josh Papali'i is out with a hamstring injury so Pasami Saulo moves into the starting side and Ata Mariota joins the bench. No other changes to the side that jumped from seventh to sixth on the back of the win over the Roosters.
Titans: Just the one change to the side that upset the Broncos with captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui back on deck after he was rested on Sunday. Jaimin Jolliffe goes back to the bench and Izack Fa'asuamaleaui to 18th Man. Veteran playmaker Kieran Foran made a solid return from a toe injury and will be all the better for the run.

Last updated:
Cowboys: Coach Todd Payten has named the same 17 that performed so impressively against the Rabbitohs. Jason Taumalolo was a late withdrawal with a hamstring injury and has been named as 18th Man so he could be a late inclusion closer to game day. Blues hooker Reece Robson suffered a hamstring injury against Souths but has been named.
Tigers: Daine Laurie comes in at five-eighth for his first game since Round 4 so Starford To'a moves back to the centres and Asu Kepaoa goes to the bench. Blues prop Stefano Utoikamanu returns so Fonua Pole reverts to the bench.

Sea Eagles: Jake Trbojevic (calf) leads a posse of returning stars in Round 18 with Jason Saab (shoulder), Kelma Tuilagi (facial fracture), Ben Trbojevic (hamstring) and Brad Parker (elbow) also back on deck. Jake Trbojevic's last game was in Round 12 and his leadership has been sorely missed. Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega, Morgan Harper, Sean Keppie, Karl Lawton and Ben Condon all make way.
Roosters: Joseph Suaalii returns from suspension and Fletcher Baker from a head knock in a boost for Trent Robinson's men but Angus Crichton (knee) faces an extended stint on the sideline and Egan Butcher (concussion) is also out. Back-rower Sitili Tupouniua (shoulder) will also be sidelined after scans confirmed he has sustained an acute disc injury to his neck. Nathan Brown and Naufahu Whyte come into the back row and Siua Wong makes his NRL debut off the bench. Jake Turpin took a knock to the ribs on Sunday but has been named.
