NRL UPDATED TEAM LISTS ROUND 8 — Roosters firebrand Dylan Napa will return from an ankle injury in today’s Anzac Day blockbuster against the Dragons in a timely boost for Queensland’s Origin stocks.

Napa made it through Monday’s captain’s run unscathed and will be included on Trent Robinson’s bench, likely at the expense of Paul Carter.

Maroons coach Kevin Walters will be keeping a close eye on the Chooks prop, with Napa shaping as an ideal replacement for injured veteran Matt Scott.

Latrell Mitchell remains on the outer at the Tricolours, cut from their 21-man squad with fellow young gun Joseph Manu set to retain his spot out wide.

Round 19

The Warriors are set to welcome back big man Ben Matulino for his first game of 2017, in what looms as his last season at the club with the Wests Tigers circling the Kiwi prop.

Matulino has trained strongly in the lead up to Tuesday’s Anzac Day clash in Melbourne against the Storm, and will return after infection from a knee surgery sidelined him for the first two months of the year.

The off-contract New Zealand Test front-rower sits high on the Tigers recruitment hit list, but has denied reports he is already signed and sealed to join former coach Ivan Cleary at Concord in 2018.

Charlie Gubb, Bunty Afoa and Mason Lino all turned out for the Warriors NSW Cup side in their win over North Sydney on Sunday, and will drop off Stephen Kearney’s extended bench.
