Luron Patea

Analysis: The Panthers welcome back Casey McLean (quad) and Isaiah Papali’i (concussion) in a huge boost for Ivan Cleary’s side. Throw in the mix the return of NSW stars Liam Martin, Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo — and Penrith are at near full-strength for their clash against the Broncos. Jack Cole, Scott Sorensen, Billy Phillips and Liam Henry have all shifted to the pine, while Billy Scott and Izack Tago retain their places on the six-man bench.

Broncos team: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Josiah Karapani 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Gehamat Shibasaki 5. Deine Mariner 6. Ezra Mam 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Xavier Willison 9. Cory Paix 10. Payne Haas 11.

Analysis: Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam, Adam Reynolds, Payne Haas, Brendan Piakura and Pat Carrigan. Six huge inclusions for the Broncos this week with Michael Maguire fielding a vastly different team to recent weeks, which sees a mass overhaul. Reynolds return comes after he recovered from a calf injury while Mam’s time sidelined was due to a shoulder injury. Elsewhere, Billy Walters is eyeing his first NRL appearance of the season after making a successful return via Queensland Cup.

FRIDAY JULY 17

Analysis: Two changes for the Sharks, with Queensland star Briton Nikora coming straight into the starting side and Billy Burns shifting to the bench after an Origin resting. Addin Fonua-Blake also shuffles into the starting side which sees Oregon Kaufusi drop to the pine. No sign of Jesse Colquhoun who was ruled out last week due to a knee injury.

Knights team: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Fletcher Sharpe 7. Dylan Brown 8. Tyson Frizell 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Trey Mooney 11. Dylan Lucas 12.

Tyson Gamble

Analysis: Bradman Best slots back into the centres after he was rested following the Origin decider, which sees Sandon Smith shuffle to the bench and Fletcher Sharpe wear the No.6 jersey. Greg Marzhew has been named despite suffering an ugly cork last weekend, while Cody Hopwood suffered a calf injury in Round 19 and has been sidelined. Jermaine McEwen also remains alongside him due to his hamstring injury. Both Tyson Frizell and Francis Manuleleua have been promoted to the starting team.

Nat Butcher 12. Siua Wong 13. Victor Radley 14. Connor Watson 15. Salesi Foketi 16. Egan Butcher 17. Taylor Losalu 18. Rex Bassingthwaighte 19. Tommy Talau 20. Toby Rodwell 21. Benaiah Ioelu 22. Robert Toia

Analysis: No James Tedesco for the second week due to HIA protocols, which means Cody Ramsey remains in the No.1 jersey after a strong performance. Hugo Savala has shuffled to the centres and Connor Watson to the bench to accommodate the Origin returns of Sam Walker and Reece Robson. Interestingly, Trent Robinson has named Robert Toia on the extended bench with no explanation in the club’s official release. “Billy Smith and Hugo Savala are set to be the Roosters starting centres,” their team release statement reads. Nat Butcher also returns from suspension, with Salesi Foketi reverting to the bench.

Storm team: 1. Sualauvi Faalogo 2. William Warbrick 3. Jack Howarth 4. Nick Meaney 5. Moses Leo 6. Tyran Wishart 7. Trent Toelau 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11.

Manaia Waitere 22. Hayden Watson

Analysis: If losing Cameron Munster (knee) wasn’t enough, Craig Bellamy will also be without Jahrome Hughes due to hamstring tightness. Tyran Wishart and Trent Toelau partner in the halves, while Harry Grant has reclaimed his No.9 jersey after coming off the bench in Round 19. Moses Leo slots back into the backline after a head knock, with Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown dropping to the bench while Oryn Keeley starts in the back row.
