The NRL Finals Week 2 teams are in, with South Sydney enjoying some fantastic news at the selection table ahead of their do-or-die semi-final with Manly.
Sam Burgess and Dane Gagai are both back in the fold for the Rabbitohs, forcing Corey Allan and Jaydn Su’A out of the side. Their opponents, the Sea Eagles, also welcome back Martin Taupau from suspension.
Melbourne remain unchanged despite their loss to Canberra in the qualifying final, while Parramatta welcomes back Kane Evans from suspension, making Ray Stone the unlucky man to be dropped after a 58-0 victory.
