The NRL Round 18 teams are in, with the St George-Illawarra Dragons welcoming back James Graham from long injury layoff ahead of their must-win clash with Penrith.
The white-hot Panthers have stocked up too, however, with halfback Nathan Cleary returning from an ankle injury suffered in State of Origin Game 2.
Saturday’s SCG blockbuster between the Sydney Roosters and Newcastle Knights has seen both teams improve their run-on 13’s. James Tedesco and Boyd Cordner return after being rested for last Sunday’s shock loss to the Cowboys, while Jake Friend moves to the starting lineup after coming off the bench last week.
Newcastle, for their part, welcome Kalyn Ponga back to fullback, while David Klemmer also moves back into the starting lineup.
South Sydney will again be without Sam Burgess after he suffered a setback in his return from a shoulder injury.
