Round 19 Match Threads -*** SPOILERS likely ... yes... guaranteed ***

[Graham]

Late news before kick off soon:

Eels: Nathan Peats could be a late inclusion, with the Eels hooker training during the week in a bid to prove he has recovered from a knee injury. It would mean a slight reshuffle to Brad Arthur's bench rotation.

Bulldogs: No late changes expected at this stage, although all eyes will be on the Bulldogs halves combination with Trent Hodkinson, Moses Mbye and Josh Reynolds.

[Graham]

Storm: No injury concerns, although there may be a late change in the backline with Hymel Hunt under pressure to keep his position.

Panthers: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung and is not expected to play for a few weeks. Hooker James Segeyaro could be a late inclusion, while David Simmons is carrying a hamstring complaint and could be a late omission.
