Panthers v Wests Tigers

Nathan Cleary has overcome a knee injury and is set to make his return against the Tigers on Thursday night, the side his father Ivan coaches. His return will see James Maloney shift back into five-eighth, with Tyrone Peachey set to return to the centres.

Jack Hetherington is available once again following a suspension.

After the Tigers toppled the Cowboys last week, Cleary looks set to stick with the same side, given Josh Reynolds is still unlikely to return. Kevin Naiqama will be pushing for selection after being dropped last week.

Eels v Warriors

Kaysa Pritchard and Tim Mannah are still unavailable for the Eels, while Nathan Brown, Jarryd Hayne and Kane Evans are still a while away.

Issac Luke should be right to face Parramatta, and the Warriors will also welcome back Shaun Johnson from an ankle injury, providing he can prove his fitness levels.

Broncos v Roosters

Alex Glenn will miss at least a fortnight with a medial ligament injury, while Payne Haas dislocated his shoulder in their loss to Manly. Jack Bird and Jordan Kahu trained with the reserve grade players on Tuesday, while Patrick Mago, Sam Tagataese and Gehamat Shibasaki all trained with the first grade squad, with Shibasaki in like for his NRL debut.

Victor Radley is back from suspension, and will likely take Nat Butcher's spot on the bench.

Titans v Knights

The Titans are hopeful Jai Arrow will retrun from a ribs injury, while Will Matthews is in doubt with a concussion. Konrad Hurrell (omitted) and Nathan Peats (ribs) are both in line for a return this week, while Ryan Simpkins and Jarrod Wallace should also play. Kevin Proctor remains in serious doubt.

Jacob Lillyman could return for the Knights, while Jamie Buhrer and Cory Denniss are both a chance to play after they were the last two cut last weekend.

Cowboys v Rabbitohs

Shaun Fensom and Ben Hampton are facing some time on the sidelines, after both picking up injuries against the Tigers. Kane Linnett isn't fit to return yet, and Javid Bowen will be waiting in the wings to replace Hampton.

Robert Jennings could return from a hamstring injury, while Kyle Turner, Braidon Burns and Mark Nicholls are all in the frame.

Storm v Sea Eagles

Cameron Smith and Sam Kasiano will miss through suspension, with Brandon Smith likely to replace his namesake at hooker. Tim Glasby and Jesse Bromwich could make early injury returns too.

Manly's injury list is find starting to dwindle, with Jack Gosiewski, Jorge Taufua and Jono Wright all a chance to return this weekend, or at the latest round 12.

Dragons v Raiders

Jack De Belin and Ben Hunt both picked up injuries last weekend, and will be watched throughout the week in a bit to prove their fitness.

Blake Austin is a chance to play after suffering an ankle injury, although Sam Williams should be ready to replace Austin if he can't get up.

Sharks v Bulldogs

Paul Gallen is expected to face the Bulldogs, while Jayson Bukuya should also return. Luke Lewis is a chance, but currently unlikely.

The Dogs could remain unchanged, with Michael Lichaa and Clay Priest back in the fold to face the Sharks. Canterbury have no new injury concerns.
