The Tigers centre came off in the loss to Brisbane with what Benji Marshall described as tightness, but it was also to accommodate playmaker: 1. Kaeo Weekes 2. Sebastian Kris 3. Simi Sasagi 4.

Despite a horror loss to Manly, Todd Payten generally isn’t one to rush into changes. Given they won four straight leading into the Sea Eagles game, Payten will likely roll with the same group outside of Luke and Laybutt, who will make way for Mahoney and Taulagi respectively.1.

With that said, Rogers was sound against the Tigers.

Thrash Penrith one week, lose to an undermanned Eels side the next. Coach Cameron Ciraldo will likely be forced into one change and that’sto play 80 minutes out of position in the centres. That won’t happen this week with Curran better suited in the middle. Thankfully for Bulldogs fans, Ciraldo revealed that1. Tyrell Sloan 20. David Fale 3. Mathew Feagai 4. Valentine Holmes 5.

A welcome inclusion for the Dragons, with key forwardis in some doubt with a knee issue. The winger could miss another week with bone bruising. Much was made aboutfuture at the team last week. He was decent off the bench in his first NRL appearance of the season . He’ll keep his position. With Flanagan gone, you’d have to wonder whether1. James Tedesco 2. Daniel Tupou 3. Hugo Savala 4.

Smith was named in last week’s squad before dropping out and while he wasn’t quite ready against the Knights, he will be pushing to play this week. But will Robinson even pick him?has been a revelation at centre, scoring two tries against the Knights and was heaped with praise from his coach after the win. “I thought he was so good out there today at left centre. He’s doing the role that he’s been asked to do,” Robinson said.22. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 4. Ali Leiataua 5. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 6.

It’s hard to see him making too many changes as the depth isn’t necessarily bursting the door down. He might make one or two, but he’ll be relying on his leaders to help spark the turnaround. They had their chance to win in Canberra but couldn’t nail the big moments which is uncharacteristic. Ativalu Lisati is due back this weekend from a calf injury. He will add some much needed punch. He could return via the bench or start ahead of Joe Chan or Cooper Clarke. Xavier Coates is at least another week away.1. Matthew Dufty 2. Alex Johnston 3. Latrell Mitchell 4. Jack Wighton 5.

Lachlan Hubner 14. Peter Mamouzelos 17. Jayden Sullivan 18. Edward Kosi 19. Thomas FletcherThere were some nervy moments but they flexed their muscles in the second half and proved too classy for the Dragons, with Latrell Mitchell scoring four. Ashton Ward is set to return from an ankle injury but despite his promising start to the season pre-setback, it’s hard to see him usurping Jamie Humphreys at the moment. In an interesting call from Wayne Bennett, Keaon Koloamatangi started on the bench against the Dragons. Expect him to be named in the starting pack on Tuesday. With Dave Fifita still out for another month, we could see Brandon Smith at lock and Cam Murray on an edge again. Smith set up two tries at lock last weekend.1. Fletcher Sharpe 2. Dominic Young 3.

Harrison Graham 15. Pasami Saulo 16. Cody Hopwood 18. Kyle McCarthy 19. Peter Hola 21. Elijah LeaumoanaGreg Marzhew left the Roosters game with a head knock so he’s in some doubt against the Panthers. Justin Holbrook wasn’t sure of his status. The likes of Kalyn Ponga, Tyson Frizell, Bradman Best and Dylan Lucas are still a couple of weeks away at least. The form of Fletcher Hunt gives reason to pause for Holbrook when he considers his line up when Best and Ponga are back on deck. With that duo both healthy, it’s hard to see where Hunt fits into the puzzle, but it’s also hard to leave him out given the way he’s going of late.: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Thomas Jenkins 3.

Jackson SherebManly are one of the hottest teams in the NRL right now but in a cruel twist, they’ll be withoutfor the next six to eight weeks. The Manly fullback suffered yet another hamstring injury against the Cowboys. Thankfully for coach Kieran Foran, they have a more than suitable replacement in. While Koula has been excellent in the centres this season, he has proven in the past that he can be electric at the back.. Faulalo had a nice game in 60 minutes, running for 114m, recording four tackle busts and a try assist so he’ll be named in the starting side.1. Joash Papali’i 2. Brian Kelly 3. Viliami Penisini 19.

Regardless, fellow rakewas confident he could do a job as an 80-minute hooker if his partner is ruled out. “I’ll be ready for that, regardless of whether I am going to play 80 minutes or 40 minutes,” he said. “Obviously I want to be an 80-minute hooker and I want to build to that starting role. But I know I’m ready for it and I can’t wait for that opportunity if it does come up.”
