Bulldogs: The Bulldogs are 1-17. Only one change to the squad which lost to the Eels with Jake Averillo coming onto the bench to make his NRL debut in place of Kerrod Holland, who has picked up a knee complaint in training. Morgan Harper and Jack Cogger were omitted from the 21-man squad on Wednesday, while Ofahiki Ogden and Sione Katoa dropped off the reserves list an hour before kick-off.
Cowboys: The Cowboys are also as named on Tuesday. Josh McGuire returns from suspension in a boost for Paul Green's team. John Asiata reverts to the bench after playing prop last week and Corey Jensen drops out of the 17. Justin O'Neill copped a head knock against Brisbane but is expected to be right to play. Shane Wright and Tom Opacic were omitted 24 hours before game time and Corey Jensen and Jake Clifford made way on game day.

Dragons: Matt Dufty is back from the cheekbone injury he suffered at the Nines and he takes over at fullback with Zac Lomax shifting to the wing to replace the injured Mikaele Ravalawa (thigh). Tariq Sims' one-game suspension for a shoulder charge means Tyrell Fuimaono comes into the starting side and Jacob Host joins the bench. Korbin Sims (arm) is hoping to be back in round five while captain Cameron McInnes (knee) is looking at round eight. Euan Aitken and Jackson Ford were the last players trimmed from the reserves, while Adam Clune and Tristan Sailor were omitted 24 hours before kick-off.
Panthers: Viliame Kikau returns to the starting side after his destructive 40-minute cameo off the bench in round one. Liam Martin reverts to the bench. Jack Hetherington's suspension for a high tackle opens the door for Billy Burns to come into the 17. Zane Tetevano lasted just 20 minutes against the Roosters before injuring his knee but he has been named to play. Dylan Edwards is making encouraging progress in his rehab of a syndesmosis tear and could be back ahead of schedule in round three but Kurt Capewell suffered a recurrence of a quad strain. Matt Burton and Mitch Kenny were trimmed from the reserves an hour before kick-off, while Jed Cartwright and Kaide Ellis dropped off the extended bench on Thursday night.

Broncos: The four-week suspension handed to Tevita Pangai opens the door for Jamil Hopoate to move into the starting side in just his second NRL game. Hopoate's bench place is taken by 20-year-old prop Ethan Bullemor, who is line for his NRL debut. Corey Oates has been named despite missing training on Monday with gastroenteritis but skipper Alex Glenn (hamstring) looks set to miss another week. Brodie Croft and Pat Carrigan are one-for-one as co-captains and will take charge again in Glenn's absence. Tom Dearden and Pride Petterson-Robati were pruned from the squad an hour before kick-off, while Xavier Coates and Tesi Niu were omitted from the 21-man squad on Thursday.
Rabbitohs: Wayne Bennett has named the same 17 which took care of the Sharks in round one. Braidon Burns is good to go after taking an early guilty plea for a dangerous throw on Jesse Ramien. Bayley Sironen and Troy Dargen were the last players cut before kick-off, while Bryson Goodwin and Keaon Koloamatangi dropped off the reserves list on Thursday.

Warriors:Â The Warriors are 1-17 with Hayze Perham, Leivaha Pulu, Karl Lawton and Hayze Perham cut from the extended bench named on Tuesday. Winger Patrick Herbert and centre Peta Hiku returned home for family reasons and their places have been taken by Adam Pompey and Adam Keighran. In the pack, Eliesa Katoa has been promoted to the starting side and Isaiah Papalii goes to the bench.Â
Raiders:Â Canberra are also 1-17 with Sam Williams and Ryan Sutton omitted from the reserves on game day after Harley Smith-Shields and Tom Starling dropped out of the 21 on the eve of the match. Co-captain Jarrod Croker and fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad failed to finish round one with head knocks but are confirmed starters. The only minor change to the winning squad from round one is a back-row shuffle with Corey Horsburgh and Joe Tapine swapping places.Â

Roosters: Poasa Faamausili replaces Nat Butcher on the Roosters bench, while Asu Kepaoa, Daniel Fifita and Lachlan Lam were omitted from the reserves list. Winger Matt Ikuvalu passed all his tests after suffering a head knock last round and coach Trent Robinson said he would be fit to play. Second-rower Angus Crichton is also "itching to get out" there, according to the coach after missing round one due to illness. Robinson said Boyd Cordner would be named in the team next week to finally make his season debut. The Roosters have scored 104 points in their past three games against the Sea Eagles.
Sea Eagles: No injury worries for coach Des Hasler after the round one loss to Melbourne, allowing him to keep the same 17 intact. Taniela Paseka is due to return from an ankle injury in round three. Toafofoa Sipley and Brendan Elliot were trimmed from the extended bench on Saturday after Zac Saddler and Tevita Vuna were cut from the reserves on Friday afternoon.

Last updated:
Titans:The late withdrawal of Kevin Proctor with a hamstring injury has forced a reshuffle with Tyrone Peachey coming in to the starting side and Jaimin Jolliffe being recalled to the bench. AJ Brimson (back) and Shannon Boyd (shoulder) were a chance to play after being initially named in the squad but the pair was trimmed from the reserves on Saturday. Sam Stone cut an hour before kick-off.
Eels: Coach Brad Arthur would've been pleased to see none of his players picked up any injuries in the bruising round one clash with the Bulldogs. There were no changes to his starting 17 as of Saturday evening, with Ray Stone and Oregon Kaufusi cut from the reserves. David Gower and George Jennings were omitted an hour before kick-off.
