Panthers v Sea Eagles

James Maloney will return from suspension, but Nathan Cleary comes out of the side for Origin duties. Both of Penrith starting centres are set for a stint on the sidelines, with Dean Whare (hamstring) out for 4-6 weeks and Waqa Blake (Knee) expected to miss 6-10 weeks.

The Sea Eagles lose Daly Cherry-Evansย andย Jake Trbojevic to Origin, while Brad Parker is set to miss an extended period with a broken jaw. Tom Trbojevic could return but is unlikely.

Eels v Rabbitohs

No Eels were picked for Origin which could be seen as a blessing in disguise and they have no other injury concerns.

Meanwhile, the Bunnies lose Cameron Murray, Cody Walker, Dane Gagai and Damien Cook to Origin, but could get Adam Reynolds back.

Adam Doueihi will return and Connor Tracey could come in to replace Walker. John Sutton is likely to shift from the back row to five-eighth with Walker out and Billy Brittain is set to take over hooker duties from Cook.

Bulldogs v Raiders

Dylan Napa is out for Origin commitments, but Adam Elliot is in the frame to return from a back injury.

The Raiders will be without Josh Hodgson (thumb), as well asย Nick Cotric,ย Jack Wightonย andย Josh Papalii (Origin).

Titans v Cowboys

Jai Arrow (Origin) misses as Michael Gordon looks set to return from a leg injury. Gordon could come in at the expense of AJ Brimson, who has played well at fullback.

The Cowboys will be forced into several changes, with Michael Morgan and Josh McGuire (Origin) out andย Matt Scott (shoulder) and Justin Oโ€™Neill (spleen) injured.

    R Mahoney needs help, eels are getting smashed around the ruck. So mcillwrick should come in is a good defender
    Mahoney back to the bench who will add some spark in a short stint
