WE give our final verdict on which players will and won’t take the field in round three of the 2014 NRL season.

TIGERS V RABBITOHS

The Tigers are expected to be 1–17 with last year’s top tryscorer Tim Simona returning from off-season shoulder surgery and Liam Fulton (concussion) expected to play. The Rabbitohs have named Joel Reddy to make his debut against his former club.

UPDATE 12.30pm AEDT: Chris McQueen and Dylan Walker (both ankle) are expected to be ruled out for the Rabbitohs. John Sutton will play five-eighth in place of Walker, with Kyle Turner and Nathaniel Neale added to the bench. Greg Inglis hasn’t trained this week due to an ankle injury, but will play.

BRONCOS V ROOSTERS

The Roosters remain unchanged for the clash. Ben Hannant was named in place of Josh McGuire (suspended), but isn’t expected to play due to a hamstring injury sustained at training this week. He is likely to be replaced by former Rooster Martin Kennedy in the starting side, with young gun Corey Oates added to the bench. Oates will become part of the forward rotation, despite playing most of his NRL in the backs.

PANTHERS V BULLDOGS

No late changes for the Panthers with Dave Simmons (knee) out and Kevin Naiqama named again after a solid performance last week. Jamal Idris will play in the centres and Tim Grant is returning after being sidelined with a calf injury. The Bulldogs squad remains unchanged.

UPDATE 12.30pm AEDT: Ivan Cleary has confirmed Josh Mansour is carrying a hamstring issue, but wouldn’t comment on whether he’d play. Mitch Brown (ankle) is in doubt for the Bulldogs.
