Team news Storm: No late changes expected for the defending premiers with Brandon Smith likely to revert to a forward's role when Harry Grant comes onto the field following the loss of Nelson Asofa-Solomona (head knock) for at least a week. Reimis Smith replaces George Jennings (head knock) on the wing with Tom Eisenhuth shifting to the centres. Trent Loiero and Isaac Lumelume were omitted from the squad 24 hours before kick-off. The Storm are aiming for their 100th victory at AAMI Park. Sharks: Matt Moylan (thigh) dropped out of the squad on Thursday along with centre Jesse Ramien, who suffe...

Cowboys coach Todd Payten said a contact session on Thursday will prove Taumalolo's fitness.  The same applies for McLean after he failed to finish last week's win over the Raiders due to a hamstring concern.  Every try from Round 7 Raiders v Rabbitohs, Thursday 7.50pm at GIO Stadium Raiders: No further changes expected after Ricky Stuart recalled Kiwi international Joseph Tapine to the side for a rested Josh Papalii this week. Sebastian Kris replaces Jarrod Croker (shoulder) in the centres with Matt Timoko also listed in the reserves. The Raiders have won six of their past eight games agai...

Will Chambers said some "pretty offensive things" in heated clashes against the Sharks when playing for Melbourne, but says it might be going back the other way in his NRL return against the Storm on Friday.

Thursday 29 April, GIO Stadium, 7:50pm Raiders: Come into the game off a five-day turnaround after a loss to Cowboys on Saturday night. Joseph Tapine and Isosia Soliola are both options to come back into 17 after both were dropped last week. Jarrod Croker's position in the team could come into question with his form down but he also appeared to re-injure the shoulder he had off season surgery on and could be in some doubt. Bailey Simonsson should return from concussion on the right wing which could see Sebastian Kris dropping to the bench. Rabbitohs: Tevita Tatola is in doubt after he failing...

Ricky Stuart has rested star prop Josh Papalii despite the highly-fancied Raiders losing four of their last five games as off-contract Sharks star Josh Dugan is dropped for Will Chambers. Canberra will be without both Papalii and co-captain Jarrod Croker as critical absentees for Thursday's bumper clash against South Sydney. Croker is facing 1-2 weeks out with a recurrence of his off-season shoulder injury and is replaced by Sebastian Kris, while Joe Tapine returns to the 17 in place of Papalii. After a raft of team changes – including the axing of Kiwi international Tapine – failed to li...
