Cowboys: Antonio Winterstein (Sam), Jason Taumalolo.
Bulldogs: Curtis Rona, Sam Perrett, Greg Eastwood, Sam Kasiano (Sam), Raymond Faitala-Mariner (Sam).

Broncos: Adam Blair, Alex Glenn, Herman Ese'ese.
Panthers: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, James Fisher-Harris, Suaia Matagi, Sitaleki Akauola, Moses Leota (Ton).
Doc's Word: Sitaleki Akauola looks to be making a good impression at Penrith with solid minutes.

Eels: Bureta Faraimo, Manu Ma'u, Brad Takairangi, Kenny Edwards, Peni Terepo (Ton).
Doc's Word: American Samoan and born in Wellington, Bureta Faraimo has been in and out of the NRL so hopefully he can be a bright spot for the Eels as they chase a slim hope of NRL Finals footy.
Storm vs Roosters
Storm: Jesse Bromwich, Kevin Proctor, Tohu Harris, Kenny Bromwich.
Roosters: Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Sio Siua Tauekeiaho, Sam Moa, Isaac Liu.

Sharks vs Knights
Sharks: Sosaia Feki (Ton), Gerard Beale, Sam Tagataese (Sam).
Knights: Sam Mataora (CookIs), Danny Levi, Jeremy Smith, David Bhana.
Doc's Word: Wouldn't mind seeing David Bhana get more game time as the Knights wind their season down, especially with Jeremy Smith retiring.
Dragons vs Tigers
Dragons: Taane Milne, Jason Nightingale, Benji Marshall, Russell Packer, Leeson Ah Mau (Sam).
Tigers: Sauaso Sue (Sam), Josh Aloiai, Elijah Taylor, Ava Seumanufagai.

Rabbitohs vs Sea Eagles
Rabbitohs: (No kiwis/polys, hence the lose).
Sea Eagles: Lewis Brown, Mathew Wright (Sam), Martin Taupau.
Doc's Word: The Rabbitohs aren't winning because they've got no kiwis or poly lads, duh.
