Official team lists, updates and injury news for the 2023

Props for Gallagher Kangaroos Jake Trbojevic and Tom Flegler make way as Payne Haas and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, who were rested the previous weekend, come back to the side. Reuben Cotter returns to the bench and Nicho Hynes, who made his debut last week, moves to 18th man while Liam Martin also returns to the starting lineup. Due to a cork, Broncos star Pat Carrigan missed practise on Wednesday; nonetheless, coach Mal Meninga stated that Carrigan would start on Saturday.

Kiwis: Head coach Michael Maguire goes with the same 17-man team that lost to the Kangaroos in Melbourne, keeping Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at fullback and Joey Manu in the centres. Naufahu Whyte, a rookie for the Roosters, is once again 18th Man.

Bati: Dragons powerhouse Mikaele Ravalawa goes from centre to his usual post on the wing while Panthers standout Sunia Turuva, who missed last Sunday’s game due to a calf injury, returns. Jason Qareqare is also out of the lineup. Watisoni Waqanisaravi and Pio Seci, who weren’t in the top 17 last week, are also on the new-look bench with Kitione Kautoga, who has recovered from a back ailment. The guys to make way are Sirilo Lovokuro and Noah Nailagoliva, while Mesake Ravonu is out due to a head knock.

Kumuls: There is only one alteration to the starting lineup; Rodrick Tai replaces Benji Kot in the centres after missing the previous week due to a knee injury. The only bench player kept from last week is Judah Rimbu, while the other changes are Liam Horne, Junior Rop, and Nixon Putt joining him on the interchange. Now that Hooker Edwin Ipape has been fined money for a judge-related offence, he is free to continue. Due to a knee issue that he was unable to resolve, prop MacKenzie Yei is not part of the starting lineup.
