Last updated:
Panthers: The Panthers will line up as named with no late changes. Ivan Cleary has the luxury of stability as the competition leaders return home to play the high-flying Sea Eagles. Utility Jack Cogger will make his 100th NRL appearance. Billy Scott comes onto the six-man bench in jersey No.21.
Sea Eagles: No further game day changes after halfback Jamal Fogarty was ruled out on Saturday due to a groin injury suffered in last week's win over the Eels. Joey Walsh has been called into the starting side for his first match of the season and second NRL appearance. Veteran Nathan Brown is set for a recall after Corey Wadell suffered a pectoral injury that will keep him sidelined for up to 12 weeks. Centre Reuben Garrick has scored eight tries in his last eight games at CommBank Stadium.
