Raiders – In: Jamal Fogarty, Hudson Young, Zac Hosking, Seb Kris / Out: Albert Hopoate, Simi Sasagi, Emre Guler, Adam Cook
Warriors – In: Ali Leiataua, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak / Out: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Marcelo Montoya
What We Like
After a string of poor performances recently, the Canberra Raiders will receive several stars back this week as they look to turn around their fortunes – Fogarty, Kris, Hosking and Hudson Young will all make their returns.
Final Thought
Warriors young gun Leka Halasima showed in his NRL debut that he has all the potential to become a star player and barraged past the Bulldogs defender. Playing in his second match, he shouldn’t be countered out to cross the line for a try.

Rabbitohs – In: Cameron Murray, Siiva Havili / Out: Jai Arrow, Liam Le Blanc
Tigers – In: Latu Fain, Tallyn Da Silva, Luke Laulilii, Alex Twal / Out: Heath Mason, Reuben Porter, Api Koriusau, Alex Lobb
What We Like
The Wests Tigers have conceded over 100 points in the last three weeks and expect this to continue as they take on the Rabbitohs without their skipper Api Koroisau.
Final Thought
As the Rabbitohs look to decimate their opposition, look no further than winger Jacob Gagai, who was able to score a hat-trick last weekend.

Storm – In: Nick Meaney / Out: Kane Bradley
Roosters – In: Joseph Suaalii, Victor Radley, Naufahu Whyte / Out: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Michael Jennings, Ethan King
What We Like
After a four-week suspension, centre Joseph Suaalii will make his return to the field on Saturday and will be looking to make up time for his absence with the opening try.
Final Thought
The Melbourne Storm are the most in-form team in the competition and sit at the top of the NRL ladder. It is hard to believe that they are outsiders, considering they are playing at home and the Roosters Origin stars remain uncertain about playing.

Panthers – In: Nathan Cleary, Casey McLean, Trent Toelau, Luron Patea, Luke Garner, Brad Schneider / Out: Dylan Edwards, Isaah Yeo, Jack Cole, Jarome Luai, Brian To’o, Liam Martin
Dolphins – In: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Felise Kaufusi / Out: Euan Aitken, Sean O’Sullivan
What We Like
The Panthers not only receive Nathan Cleary back this weekend but also have multiple of their Origin stars returning to the side.
Final Thought
Trai Fuller may be coming off the interchange bench this weekend due to Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow returning back into the squad, however, he has still be in impeccable form.

Sea Eagles – In: Daly Cherry-Evans, Jake Trbojevic, Ben Trbojevic / Out: Jamie Humphreys, Ben Condon, Caleb Navale
Titans – In: Moeaki Fotuaika/ Out: AJ Brimson
What We Like
The Sea Eagles smashed the Knights last week, but the Titans have won their last three matches in a row. A close match is expected but the home team should be able to get the wood over their former coach Des Hasler.
Final Thought
Returning to the fullback position last weekend, Tom Trbojevic showed he hasn’t missed a beat since being out since injury. Expect the former Dally M Medal winner to be the first Manly player to score.

Cowboys – In: Jaxon Purdue, Jake Clifford, Jake Granville, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, Sam McIntyre, Thomas Mikaele / Out: Murray Taulagi, Reuben Cotter, Reece Robson, Jeremiah Nanai, Valentine Holmes, Tom Dearden
Bulldogs – In: Jacob Preston, Poasa Faamausili / Out: Max King, Jaeman Salmon
What We Like
As the Bulldogs race towards the finals, they will receive Stephen Crichton and Matt Burton back, but it is unknown if the Cowboys Origin stars will back up this weekend.
Final Thought
The Bulldogs last two matches have gone to Golden Point with them beating the Rabbitohs and Warriors both by one point.
