Rabbitohs: A huge boost for the Bunnies with skipper Cameron Murray set to return from the hip injury that has sidelined him since Round 9. Murray has been named on the interchange bench and Siliva Havili drops out in the only change to the 17 that downed the Titans.
Broncos: Just the one change for the Broncos with Xavier Willison coming onto the bench and Fletcher Baker dropping to the reserves. Centre Kotoni Staggs is good to go despite copping a knock to the knee in the clash with the Sharks.

Wests Tigers: A massive boost for the battling Tigers with star playmaker Adam Doueihi listed among the reserves as he closes in on a return from a knee reconstruction. Doueihi hasn't played since Round 6 last year. A new halves pairing for Benji Marshall with Aidan Sezer back from a four-game suspension at five-eighth and Api Koroisau handed the No.7 jersey with Lachlan Galvin and Jayden Sullivan both sidelined by hand injuries. With winger Solomon Alaimalo (head knock) sidelined, Charlie Staines moves to the wing and Brent Naden moves from the bench into the centres. The new face on the bench is Solomona Faataape.
Titans: Phil Sami's return from a hamstring injury in the centres allows Beau Fermor to return to the back row and Keenan Palasia goes back to the interchange. Jacob Alick is the man to drop out of the 17.

Last updated:
Warriors: Shaun Johnson is back for the first time since picking up a sternum injury in Round 10 and will partner Te Maire Martin in the halves. While his starting role is gone, Chanel Harris-Tavita has been retained on the bench at the expense of Freddy Lussick. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (hamstring) has been included in the wider reserves as a cover option, but Andrew Webster said Tuesday that he’ll likely be held back until Round 16.
Storm: Reimis Smith hasn’t been named after leaving the field for a head injury assessment late in the game last week, which opens up an opportunity for Dean Ieremia to play his first NRL game of the year in the centres. That’s the only change to the 17 who beat the Knights last up, with in-form forward Eliesa Katoa free to play after being hit with a monetary fine for a dangerous contact offence.

Eels: Maika Sivo is back on the wing after being a game-day withdrawal last week due to a hamstring injury. Maroons forward J’maine Hopgood has been included in the No.13 jersey but remains in doubt after interim coach Trent Barrett admitted he shouldn’t have played in Round 14 due to a nerve problem in his back. After starting last week at prop Wiremu Greig is out of the 17, while Daejarn Asi reverts to bench. Edge forward Ryan Matterson is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from illness.
Roosters: With all of their Origin contingent good to go following last week’s bye, there are a number of changes to the last Roosters team which took the field in Round 13. Michael Jennings drops back to be the replacement player, while Sitili Tupouniua, Blake Steep and Siua Wong all drop off the interchange. Connor Watson returns from a throat injury to start at hooker in place of Brandon Smith.

Sea Eagles: Damaging second-rower Haumole Olakau’atu is named to start despite suffering a calf injury last week which restricted him to just 24 minutes. Nathan Brown comes in to start at prop in place of the suspended Josh Aloiai, with Ethan Bullemor the new face on the bench.
Dragons: No changes to the 17 players who destroyed the Wests Tigers in Round 14. Luciano Leilua is named to start in the second row but could drop back to the bench prior to kick-off, as was the case last week. Versatile forward Fa'amanu Brown is the replacement player.

Knights: NSW hopeful Bradman Best returns from injury in the centres, while Fletcher Sharpe has unseated David Armstrong as Adam O’Brien’s fullback following his strong performance on debut in Round 14. Armstrong is included in the reserves after a week out with a quad injury. After falling short in his bid to overcome a knee injury last week, Daniel Saifiti will try again to be declared fit after being included on the bench.
Panthers: Star fullback Dylan Edwards is named to play following the quad injury which denied him an Origin debut last week and kept him out of Round 14. Jack Cole is again the preferred partner to Jarome Luai in the halves, while representative back-rower Liam Martin is a chance of making his comeback from an ankle injury after being included in the wider reserves.
