The Warriors have been boosted by the return of a couple of gun forwards as they look to keep pace with the table-topping Panthers in the minor premiership race.
Meanwhile, the Eels have made a surprising decision in the halves, leaving a gun recruit in a bit of a holding pattern.
FRIDAY JULY 10
Wests Tigers vs. New Zealand Warriors @ Campbelltown Stadium, 8pm
Tigers team: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Heamasi Makasini 4. Starford To’a 5. Jeral Skelton 6. Jarome Luai 7. Adam Doueihi 8. Terrell May 9. Josese Lanyon 10. Bunty Afoa 11. Samuela Fainu 12. Sione Fainu 13. Alex Twal 14. Latu Fainu 15. Fonua Pole 16. Alex Seyfarth 17. Tony Sukkar 18. Faaletino Tavana 19. Charlie Murray 20. Heath Mason 21. Jock Madden 22. Jared Haywood
Analysis: Young dummy-half Josese Lanyon will make his second NRL start, replacing the injured Api Koroisau. Lanyon started at hooker on debut against the Titans in Round 15, playing 56 minutes in a 36-28 win. Since, he’s come off the bench in two Tigers losses. Latu Fainu will come off the pine. In a huge boost, Samuela Fainu returns from a lengthy injury layoff. The Tigers have missed him dearly. His inclusion means Tony Sukkar will likely start the game on the bench. Jarome Luai is back in the side after missing a week with a head knock which pushes Jock Madden onto the extended bench and unlikely to be utilised.
Warriors team: 1. Taine Tuaupiki 2. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 3. Ali Leiataua 4. Adam Pompey 5. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 6. Chanel Harris-Tavita 7. Te Maire Martin 8. James Fisher-Harris 9. Wayde Egan 10.

Luke Laulilii 22. Mitchell Barnett 23. Kurt Capewell
Analysis: A couple of huge ins for the Warriors. James Fisher-Harris is slated to start in the front row after missing three games.

SUNDAY JULY 12
South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. Newcastle Knights @ Accor Stadium, 2pm
Rabbitohs team: 1. Matthew Dufty 2. Dayne Jennings 3. Tallis Duncan 4. Jack Wighton 5. Campbell Graham 6. Jayden Sullivan 7. Ashton Ward 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Brandon Smith 10. Keaon Koloamatangi 11. David Fifita 12. Euan Aitken 13. Cameron Murray 14. Lachlan Hubner 15. Jamie Humphreys 16. John Radel 17. Liam Le Blanc 18. Jye Gray 19. Latrell Siegwalt 20. Edward Kosi 21. Thomas Fletcher 22. Peter Mamouzelos
Analysis: In a selection stunner, Jye Gray has been dropped, replaced in the No. 1 jersey by Matt Dufty. Gray is a casualty after Souths were thrashed by Penrith last weekend. Cody Walker will miss a match through suspension and replaced by Jayden Sullivan, who will partner Ashton Ward in the halves. Campbell Graham is back on deck and will start on a wing. Tallis Duncan has impressed in limited action in the centres and he’s been named to start there despite Graham’s return. Euan Aitken has been named in the second row. Cam Murray is going to attempt to back up from the Origin decider. Wayne Bennett has named his captain at lock forward. That pushes Lachie Hubner to the interchange bench.
Knights team: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Dominic Young 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Fletcher Sharpe 7. Dylan Brown 8. Cody Hopwood 9. Phoenix Crossland 10. Trey Mooney 11. Dylan Lucas 12.
