Panthers: Coach Ivan Cleary has named the same 19 players that got the job done in style against the Knights. Kalani Going has been named in No.16 as he was last week before Izack Tago leapfrogged him and played 26 minutes at McDonald Jones Stadium, scoring a try in just his second match of the season.

Sea Eagles: The pectoral injury to Corey Waddell sees Nathan Brown earn a recall in the only change to the side that downed the Eels to make it four wins on the trot. Blake Wilson and Jackson Shereb are listed as the 18 and 19 with young playmaker Joey Walsh in the reserves.
