Kalifa Faifai Loa and Taane Milne were both off-season recruits for the Dragons.

Rabbitohs vs Tigers

Rabbitohs: Kirisome Auva'a, Bryson Goodwin

Tigers: Ava Seumanufagai, Sauaso Sue (Sam), Josh Aloiai, Dene Halatau.

Doc's Word: Josh Aloiai is seeing consistent minutes, keep an eye on his progression.

Eels vs Bulldogs

Eels: Kieran Foran, Manu Ma'u (Ton), Peni Terepo (Ton)

Bulldogs: Curtis Rona, Sam Perrett, Greg Eastwood, Sam Kasiano (Sam). Raymond Faitala-Mariner.

Doc's Word: Could see Raymond Faitala-Mariner sneak into the gameday 17 after being named on an extended bench.

Panthers vs Raiders

3 of the Penrith Panthers' 5 outside backs are kiwis (welcome back Dean Whare), chur to that #NRL

Roosters vs Knights

Roosters: Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Sam Moa, Isaac Liu (Sam), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.

Knights: Danny Levi, Jeremy Smith, David Bhana.

Sea Eagles vs Cowboys

Sea Eagles: Steve Matai, Martin Taupau, Lewis Brown, Addin Fonua-Blake.

Cowboys: Antonio Winterstein (Sam), Jason Taumalolo.

Doc's Word: Anytime Martin Taupau and Jason Taumalolo are on the same park, playing against each other, it's dangerous.

Doc's Word: Two best kiwi wingers in the NRL on display here, the Gypsy and big Manu. Ain't nothing better than that.
