The Tigers are expected to be unchanged.

Nate Myles (calf) continues to be a concern for the Titans who travel to New Zealand to play the Warriors, who are set to be unchanged.

Newcastle coach Rick Stone is toying with the idea of revamping his back line after recent lacklustre performances. Sione Mata'utia may start at fullback with Kurt Gidley playing in the halves at the expense of Tyrone Roberts.

"We've named the same 18 as we have in the last couple of weeks," Stone said. "Whether we play the same team, only time will tell." The Knights play a Cowboys side that should be unchanged.

Sydney Roosters and St George Illawarra should be unchanged for their annual Anzac Day clash on Saturday.

Billy Slater wants to return for the Storm and will be given until kick-off to make the side. Cameron Munster would retain his spot at fullback should Slater be unfit. Uncertainty also surrounds Cooper Cronk (virus) and his would-be replacement Ben Hampton (hamstring). Manly are hopeful Brett Stewart (hamstring) will make his return from injury, while Kieran Foran (hamstring) is less likely to play.

Brisbane winger Daniel Vidot (calf) is in doubt to play the Eels. The Eels are expected to be unchanged.

Will Smith is in line to play his first game for the Panthers. He could play in the halves with Api Koroisau playing dummy half as doubt surrounds James Segeyaro (elbow). Elijah Taylor (knee) is pushing to be included in the Panthers squad to play Cronulla. Sharks skipper Paul Gallen remains in major doubt for the game. "I'm doing everything I can," Gallen said. "I'm probably 50-50. I'll see how I go over the next few days with my rehab."

John Sutton (jaw) could return for the Rabbitohs when they play Canberra in Cairns on Monday.
