The NRL Round 24 teams have been announced, with Parramatta the big winners following Blake Ferguson’s return from a long layoff with a knee injury.
South Sydney will welcome back Sam Burgess, Alex Johnston and Kyle Turner for their crucial clash with the Warriors on Friday night, with the injured trio set to boost a side missing the suspended James Roberts.
Newcastle have surprisingly made only one injury-forced change after their Saturday night debacle against the Tigers, while Latrell Mitchell will return for the Roosters in their clash with Penrith.
