Last updated:
Broncos: The loss of Tevita Pangai through suspension has been softened by the return of Payne Haas from a club-imposed suspension. Haas was initially named among the reserves but has been promoted to the starting side, forcing David Fifita to the bench and Gehamat Shibasaki out of the side. Injured centre James Roberts didn't make the final cut with Alex Glenn or Matt Gillett set to slot into the backs if injury strikes. Richie Kennar joined Roberts in dropping out of the 21 on Wednesday night and Shaun Fensom was omitted an hour before kick-off.
Tigers: Michael Maguire has made two changes to his starting side after last week’s narrow loss to the Panthers. Russell Packer moves from the bench to starting prop in a swap with Ben Matulino, while back-rower Josh Aloiai comes into the starting 13 at the expense of Elijah Taylor. Young prop Thomas Mikaele has been named on the bench to play his fourth game of the season. David Nofoaluma and Chris McQueen dropped off the bench 24 hours prior to kick-off. Paul Momirovski and Taylor were the final two omitted an hour before game time.

Titans: Jack Stockwell and Phillip Sami were the two players dropped from the squad an hour out from kick-off. Tyrone Roberts' Achilles pulled up well after Thursday's captain's run and he looks to be a certain starter but prop Shannon Boyd is out after pulling up with hamstring soreness. Jai Whitbread comes onto the bench. Ryley Jacks was omitted 24 hours before kick-off.
Panthers: Josh Mansour will play, meaning Malakai Watene-Zelezniak joins Tim Grant as the two players omitted an hour before game time. Wayde Egan didn't train all week under concussion protocol and was omitted from the squad 24 hours before kick-off. Egan's spot on the bench has been taken by Jarome Luai. The other player omitted on Thursday was Liam Martin. Penrith have won their past four games against the Titans.
