Dragons vs Raiders

Dragons: Kalifa Faifai Loa, Jason Nightingale, Benji Marshall, Leeson Ah Mau (Sam), Siliva Havili.

Raiders: Jordan Rapana, Joe Tapine.

Doc's Word: Will it be business as usual for Jordan Rapana after the rep round?

Eels vs Rabbitohs

Eels: Manu Ma'u, Peni Terepo (Ton), Kenny Edwards.

Rabbitohs: Kirisome Auva'a (Sam).

Doc's Word: We'll be able to gauge where the Eels are at right now by the intensity displayed by Peni Terepo and Kenny Edwards, both of whom have been in great form.

Panthers vs Warriors

Panthers: Peta Hiku, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Sam McKendry, James Fisher-Harris, Suaia Matagi.

Warriors: Tuimoala Lolohea, Solomone Kata (Ton), David Fusitua (Ton), Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Jazz Tevaga, James Gavet, Bodene Thompson, John Palavi, Issac Luke, Ben Matulino, Charlie Gubb.

Doc's Word: So many young kiwis on display, toast to that.

Storm vs Cowboys

Storm: Suliasi Vunivalu (Fiji) Tohu Harris, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Kevin Proctor.

Cowboys: Antonio Winterstein (Sam) Jason Taumalolo.

Doc's Word: Expect Kenny Bromwich to bounce back strongly from a strange Kiwis debut at hooker.

Sea Eagles vs Broncos

Sea Eagles: Mathew Wright (Sam), Steve Matai, Lewis Brown, Martin Taupau, Pita Godinet (Sam).

Broncos: Jordan Kahu, Herman Ese'ese, Kodi Nikorima.

Doc's Word: Another player who should bounce back from a strange game for the Kiwis is Kodi Nikorima, he'll settle back into his bench utility role.

Knights vs Sharks

Knights: Danny Levi, Jeremy Smith,

Sharks: Sosaia Feki (Ton), Gerard Beale, Sam Tagataese (Sam).

Doc's Word: Somehow Sosaia Feki missed out on rep honours, besides a slight injury, I'm not sure how.

Wests Tigers vs Bulldogs

Wests Tigers: Tim Simona (Sam), Sauaso Sue (Sam), Josh Aloiai, Dene Halatau, Ava Seumanufagai, Elijah Taylor.

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

Doc's Word: Keep close tabs on Raymon Faitala-Mariner who appears to be in favour with Des Hasler.

Titans vs Roosters

Titans: Josh Hoffman, Leivaha Pulu, Agnatius Paasi (Ton).

Roosters: Sam Moa, Isaac liu, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.

Doc's Word: Agnatius Paasi couldn't line up for Tonga because he attended his partner's graduation, what a guy. I'd watch out for Paasi here as the Titans will need his physicality and skill to dominate the Chooks' forwards.
