THURSDAY JUNE 4
Manly Sea Eagles vs South Sydney Rabbitohs at 4 Pines Park, 7:50pm AEST
Sea Eagles team: 1. Clayton Faulalo 2. Jason Saab 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Lehi Hopoate 6. Luke Brooks 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Jake Simpkin 10. Kobe Hetherington 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Ben Trbojevic 13. Jake Trbojevic 14. Brandon Wakeham 15. Nathan Brown 16. Jackson Shereb 17. Simione Laiafi 18. Josh Feledy 19. Joey Walsh 20. Blake Wilson 21. Onitoni Large 22. Aaron Schoupp
Analysis: After spending a week on the sidelines following Origin I, Haumole Olakau’atu returns in the back row while Tolu Koula has also been named, with the Sea Eagles confirming their star flyer secured an exemption to take the field. He suffered an ugly head knock in Game I which saw Kalyn Ponga sent off, but he has since passed testing and assessment by an independent doctor, ticking all the boxes when it comes to the NRL’s strict return-to-play criteria. Meanwhile, Ethan Bullemor has been dropped with Josh Feledy and Jackson Shereb slotting onto the pine.
Rabbitohs team: 1. Jye Gray 2. Alex Johnston 3. Latrell Siegwalt 4. Campbell Graham 5. Edward Kosi 6. Cody Walker 7. Ashton Ward 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Brandon Smith 10. Keaon Koloamatangi 11. David Fifita 12. Tallis Duncan 13. Cameron Murray 14. Lachlan Hubner 15. Jamie Humphreys 16. Euan Aitken 17. Sean Keppie 18. Matthew Dufty 19. Liam Le Blanc 20. Moala Graham-Taufa 21. Bronson Garlick 22. Thomas Fletcher
Analysis: A huge inclusion for the Rabbitohs with David Fifita named in the back row after recovering from a hamstring injury. Keaon Koloamatangi has been named in the front row, while Tallis Duncan is on an edge and Euan Aitken reverts to the bench. Brandon Smith has also been named at hooker as he returns from a calf injury, while Campbell Graham also returns from the same injury. At fullback, Matt Dufty has reverted to the bench after he was a late inclusion in the No.1 jersey for their last outing.
FRIDAY JUNE 5
Melbourne Storm vs Newcastle Knights at AAMI Park, 6pm AEST
Storm team: 1. Sualauvi Faalogo 2. William Warbrick 3. Jack Howarth 4. Manaia Waitere 5. Moses Leo 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jahrome Hughes 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Harry Grant 10. Josh King 11. Cooper Clarke 12. Ativalu Lisati 13. Trent Loiero 14. Trent Toelau 15. Alec MacDonald 16. Jack Hetherington 17. Josiah Pahulu 18. Joe Chan 19. Siulagi Tuimalatu-Brown 20. Shawn Blore 21. Keagan Russell-smith 22. Angus Hinchey
Analysis: Manaia Waitere takes over from Nick Meaney in the centres after he suffered a calf injury. In the forwards, no changes have been made as it stands but Shawn Blore has been listed on the extended bench as he eyes a return from a head knock.
Knights team: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Fletcher Hunt 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Fletcher Sharpe 7. Dylan Brown 8. Jacob Saifiti 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Trey Mooney 11.

Kyle McCarthy 22. Elijah Leaumoana
Analysis: With Sandon Smith sidelined due to a calf injury, Fletcher Sharpe takes his place in the halves and Fletcher Hunt rejoins the starting side. Francis Manuleleua joins the pine in the only other change for Justin Holbrook.

Raiders team: 1. Kaeo Weekes 2. Savelio Tamale 3. Daine Laurie 4. Matthew Timoko 5. Xavier Savage 6. Ethan Strange 7. Ethan Sanders 8. Corey Horsburgh 9. Tom Starling 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Zac Hosking 13. Jayden Brailey 14. Owen Pattie 15. Ata Mariota 16. Morgan Smithies 17. Jed Stuart 18. Chevy Stewart 19. Joseph Roddy 20. Coby Black 21. Vena Patuki-Case 22. Ethan Alaia
Analysis: What can’t he do? After playing at lock last week, Daine Laurie has shifted into the centres to cover for Seb Kris after he suffered a head knock. In the No.13, Jayden Brailey returns from a head knock of his own while Joe Roddy is the new face on the pine in his first game back from a hand injury.
Roosters team: 1. James Tedesco 2. Billy Smith 3. Hugo Savala 4. Robert Toia 5. Cody Ramsey 6. Daly Cherry-Evans 7. Sam Walker 8. Naufahu Whyte 9. Reece Robson 10. Lindsay Collins 11.

SATURDAY JUNE 6
North Queensland Cowboys vs Dolphins at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, 5:30pm AEST
Cowboys team: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Zac Laybutt 3. Jaxon Purdue 4. Tomas Chester 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Liam Sutton 7. Jake Clifford 8. Thomas Mikaele 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Jason Taumalolo 11. Heilum Luki 12. Sam McIntyre 13. Reuben Cotter 14. Soni Luke 15. Griffin Neame 16. Matthew Lodge 17. Coen Hess 18. Robert Derby 19. Ethan King 20. Wiremu Greig 21. Viliami Vailea 22. Xavier Kerrisk
Analysis: After an Origin-induced rest last game, Reuben Cotter slots back in at lock. Soni Luke also returns from a knee injury, while Tom Mikaele has also been named despite his own knee injury concerns.
Dolphins team: 1. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow 2. Jamayne Isaako 3. Jack Bostock 4. Herbie Farnworth 5. Selwyn Cobbo 6. Kodi Nikorima 7. Isaiya Katoa 8. Thomas Flegler 9. Max Plath 10. Francis Molo 11. Connelly Lemuelu 12. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki 13. Morgan Knowles 14. Jeremy Marshall-King 15. Kurt Donoghoe 16. Tom Gilbert 17. Ray Stone 18. Felise Kaufusi 19. Brad Schneider 20. Oryn Keeley 21.

Brisbane Broncos vs Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium, 7:35pm AEST
Broncos team: 1. Reece Walsh 2. Josiah Karapani 3. Kotoni Staggs 4. Grant Anderson 5. Jesse Arthars 6. Thomas Duffy 7. Adam Reynolds 8. Preston Riki 9. Cory Paix 10. Payne Haas 11. Brendan Piakura 12. Jack Gosiewski 13. Xavier Willison 14. Ben Hunt 15. Ben Talty 16. Va’a Semu 17. Aublix Tawha 18. Ezra Mam 19. Hayze Perham 20. Jaiyden Hunt 21. Phillip Coates 22. Josh Rogers
Analysis: A huge decision from Michael Maguire here, with the embattled coach dropped Ezra Mam to the bench. Tom Duffy partners Adam Reynolds in the halves, with Maguire’s halves shake-up coming after a disappointing loss to a Dragons side languishing on the bottom of the ladder. Mam’s axing could have further implications when it comes to the Origin arena after he was included on Queensland’s bench for the series opener. Now, Reece Walsh gets a huge chance to leapfrog his teammate and return to the Maroons squad. Elsewhere, with Gehamat Shibasaki and Pat Carrigan sidelined due to fresh injury blows, Grant Anderson joins the backline and Xavier Willison has been named at lock. Jack Gosiewski is the man to fill the vacant back row slot, while Aublix Tawha and Hayze Perham return to the squad.
Titans team: 1. Keano Kini 2. Jenson Taumoepeau 3. Jojo Fifita 4. AJ Brimson 5. Phillip Sami 6. Jayden Campbell 7. Zane Harrison 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Oliver Pascoe 10. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui 11. Arama Hau 12. Beau Fermor 13. Cooper Bai 14. Kurtis Morrin 15. Josh Patston 16. Chris Randall 17. Klese Haas 18. Jaylan De Groot 19. Luke Sommerton 20. Tony Francis 21. Bodhi Sharpley 22. Lachlan Ilias
Analysis: Klese Haas and Jaylan De Groot make away for Origin duo Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Jojo Fifita. After a head knock in Round 12, Oliver Pascoe has also been named at hooker.
SUNDAY JUNE 7
Wests Tigers vs Penrith Panthers at CommBank Stadium, 2pm AEST
Tigers team: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Jeral Skelton 3. Sunia Turuva 4. Heamasi Makasini 5. Faaletino Tavana 6. Jarome Luai 7. Jock Madden 8. Terrell May 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. Fonua Pole 11. Mavrik Geyer 12. Kai Pearce-Paul 13. Charlie Murray 14. Latu Fainu 15. Alex Seyfarth 16. Royce Hunt 17. Ethan Roberts 18. Bunty Afoa 19. Starford To’a 20. Tristan Hope 21. Heath Mason 22. Javon Andrews
Analysis: With Alex Twal sidelined due to a knee injury, Charlie Murray takes his place at lock. Sione Fainu also suffered a head knock which sees Mavrik Geyer take his place on an edge, while Ethan Roberts and Bunty Afoa join the point. No concerns for young gun Heamasi Makasini, who has been named despite concerns surrounding a shoulder blow.
Panthers team: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Thomas Jenkins 3. Paul Alamoti 4. Casey McLean 5. Brian To’o 6. Blaize Talagi 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Freddy Lussick 10. Lindsay Smith 11. Isaiah Papali’i 12. Liam Martin 13. Isaah Yeo 14. Jack Cogger 15. Scott Sorensen 16. Liam Henry 17. Izack Tago 18. Luke Garner 19. Jack Cole 20. Billy Phillips 21. Billy Scott 22. Luron Patea
Analysis: Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo and Brian To’o all return after earning a rest following the Origin series opener. The trio of Jack Cogger, Liam Henry and Izack Tago all drop to the bench after a valiant performance against the Warriors in Round 13. Billy Phillips, Luron Patea and Billy Scott drop off the six-man bench, while Jack Cole has been included.

Sharks team: 1. William Kennedy 2. Samuel Stonestreet 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Mawene Hiroti 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Niwhai Puru 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Jayden Berrell 10. Toby Rudolf 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes 14. Siosifa Talakai 15. Billy Burns 16. Jesse Colquhoun 17. Thomas Hazelton 18. Hohepa Puru 19. Oregon Kaufusi 20. Riley Jones 21. KL Iro 22. Sione Katoa
Analysis: Both Nicho Hynes and Blayke Brailey are missing due to fresh injury blows, with Niwhai Puru retaining his halfback spot and Jayden Berrell claiming the No.9 jersey. Briton Nikora slots back into the back row after being rested following the Origin series opener. Meanwhile, KL Iro and Sione Katoa have been named on the extended bench as they eye a return from a knee laceration and an ankle injury respectively.
Dragons team: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Setu Tu 3. Moses Suli 4. Valentine Holmes 5. Mathew Feagai 6. Daniel Atkinson 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga 9. Damien Cook 10. Toby Couchman 11.

Nathan Lawson
Analysis: Jacob Liddle has been named on the bench in a big boost as he eyes a return from a hamstring injury. Elsewhere, Jaydn Su’A has been named on the bench after sitting out in recent weeks due to a calf injury. He could be a late inclusion.
MONDAY JUNE 8
Bulldogs team: 1. Jacob Kiraz 2. Jethro Rinakama 3. Bronson Xerri 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Enari Tuala 6. Matt Burton 7. Lachlan Galvin 8. Max King 9. Kurt Mann 10. Leo Thompson 11. Sitili Tupouniua 12. Jaeman Salmon 13. Harry Hayes 14. Bailey Hayward 15. Jed Reardon 16. Jack Underhill 17. Josh Curran 19. Sean O’Sullivan 20. Logan Spinks 21. Lipoi Hopoi 22. Connor Tracey 23. Marcelo Montoya
Analysis: Cameron Ciraldo had a big call to make regarding his fullback spot, but it looks like he won’t have to decide who wears the No.1 moving forward this week. Jacob Kiraz remains at fullback, with Connor Tracey named on the extended bench as he works his way back from a hamstring injury. Elsewhere in the backline, Stephen Crichton has been named despite major doubts surrounding his involvement in Round 14 as he battles a shoulder injury. Crichton will be gunning to take the field as he aims to retain his spot in the Blues backline, but if he fails to take the field, Laurie Daley may be forced into a change.
Eels team: 1. Isaiah Iongi 2. Brian Kelly 3. Jordan Samrani 4. Sean Russell 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Joash Papali’i 7. Ronald Volkman 8. Luca Moretti 9. Tallyn Da Silva 10. Jack Williams 11. Kelma Tuilagi 12. Kitione Kautoga 13. Jack de Belin 14. Dylan Walker 15. Sam Tuivaiti 16. Toni Mataele 17. Harrison Edwards 18. Apa Twidle 19. Teancum Brown 20. Charlie Guymer 21. Ryley Smith 22. Araz Nanva
Analysis: As they did last weekend, Harrison Edwards could once again start at hooker despite Tallyn Da Silva being named in the No.9 jersey. Ryley Smith is eyeing a return to NRL football after taking the field in NSW Cup last round and he’s named on the extended bench.
Bye: Warriors
