NRL Late Mail: Round 18

Eels v Rabbitohs, Thursday at CommBank Stadium

Eels: No personnel expected for the Eels, but there could be some movement in the forward pack with Ryan Matterson named on an edge and Shaun Lane at lock. Matt Arthur will split time with Brendan Hands at hooker after a strong debut.

Rabbitohs: Keaon Koloamatangi has been named at lock but told reporters on Monday that he was likely to play on an edge, which would see skipper Cameron Murray shift back to the middle. It's a possibility that the two rotate throughout the match, while Jai Arrow is also expected to take his place on an edge as he battles an ongoing shoulder problem.

Bulldogs v Warriors, Saturday at Accor Stadium

Bulldogs: Connor Tracey (concussion protocols) is back in the No.1 jersey so Jacob Kiraz reverts to the wing and Jeral Skelton slides to 18th man. There's still no Jacob Preston (ankle), while Josh Curran could come into the run-on side on game day with Bailey Hayward named to start at lock for now. 

Warriors: Captain Tohu Harris is named to start but could swap with Dylan Walker prior to kick-off as he did last week, while Mitch Barnett is again set to be used at prop with Marata Niukore and Kurt Capewell the back-rowers. Jackson Ford will come off the bench and could play on an edge or through the middle as required.

Wests Tigers v Storm, Saturday at Leichhardt Oval

Wests Tigers: John Bateman returns to the starting side and will start on an edge. Justin Olam is listed among the reserves as he looks to return from a knee injury and could be a late inclusion for Solomona Faataape if available.

Despite being named, Jack Howarth remains in doubt and would likely be replaced by Reimis Smith if required, with Smith once again named as 18th Man as he looks to return from his lay-off.

Raiders v Knights, Sunday at GIO Stadium

Raiders: Expected to remain as per program with Ricky Stuart opting for the same lineup as last week's late change – Kaeo Weekes starts fullback, Jordan Rapana on the wing, Albert Hopoate in the centres and Adam Cook at halfback.

Hooker Phoenix Crossland (concussion protocols) will miss the match so Jayden Brailey starts in the No.9 jumper and Fletcher Sharpe fills the utility role off the bench.
