Just a few changes I've picked out here -

Storm will have a huge addition with Cameron Smith set to return after three weeks on the sideline with the shoulder injury. Smith will come in for Brandon Smith after he suffered a broken jaw against the Eels and has been ruled out for the next four weeks.

Kenny Bromwich suffered a calf injury and is expected to miss. Jesse Bromwich will return after missing last game with Cameron Munster also an outside chance to be named. Jahrome Hughes will need to overcome a groin injury to be named.

Jason Taumololo is set to miss for the Cowboys after suffering a calf injury against the Knights. John Asiata is set to come into the starting lineup while Tom Gilbert likely to be named on the bench. Valentine Holmes is an outside chance to return from his syndesmosis injury.

Roosters:  Boyd Cordner is set to make his return in a boost for the club, while Matt Ikuvalu is set to miss due to a foot injury. Brett Morris should be named despite suffering a knock to the hip.

 Sharks: Shaun Johnson and Andrew Fifita are set to return for the Sharks, with Braydon Trindall likely to be pushed out of the 17. Blayke Brailey suffered a shoulder injury and will need to pass fitness tests before being named.

Did you see that X-ray ? Wow , and that tackle wasn’t charged but guys are getting rubbed for minor accidental supposed crushers

Yes he took a right clout, enough to break his jaw.

Quote

The Storm were seething after Eels forward Marata Niukore flattened Smith on Thursday night and failed to even draw a penalty.

Not even a penalty and the Smith now has two plates in his jaw, is eating only through a straw and has lost 3kg in weight.

Niukore also escaped sanction from the NRL’s match review committee for the shot on Smith.

Then instead of punishing real crushers they are now punishing the 'look a bit like' crushers when the recipient pantomimes until it is reviewed in slow motion. Strangely after the penalty given and report made , up he gets, runs around and scores a try as happy as Larry.

He took an early guilty plea and copped two matches.

By the way

Broncos:

Anthony Milford is out with a hamstring injury. Sean O'Sullivan replaces him in the halves, while Cory Paix replaces suspended Issac Luke at hooker.

See Moylan has been dropped .

Moylan's axing from Cronulla's side to play  Cowboys ranks as a big call by John Morris. Matt is  one of the Sharks biggest 'earners', but he's not been seen to be earning it enough. he missed a lot of tackles in that game against Panthers last week.

Panthers ran in three tries down his side.

Luke Thompson said to be struggling with 'issues' and has been stood down by the dog's. Seems after his 14 day quarantining he's unable to get his GF into Australia still and is on his own. Can't say he has pulled up any trees so far and wether he remains over there or the Bulldog's want to persist with him is ongoing.

I’d be disappointed if he pulled stumps this quickly . It’s tough but I guess he knew it would be in these circumstances . He should stay the course you’d hope , and show his worth or he’ll always have that hanging over him if he comes back
