Official team lists, updates and injury news for round 23 of the 2022 Telstra Premiership season.

Centre Campbell Graham returns from a fractured cheekbone sustained in Round 16 so Jaxson Paulo goes to the wing and Izaac Thompson drops to the reserves. After dropping out late last week, young halfback Lachlan Ilias is back in the No.7 jersey but Thomas Burgess (groin) remains sidelined. Daniel Suluka-Fifita is back in the starting side after missing Round 22 with a back complaint so Hame Sele goes to the bench.
Panthers: Fullback Dylan Edwards was a late scratching last week but returns from a sternum injury so Charlie Staines goes to the bench and Robert Jennings to 18th Man. Liam Martin has been cleared to play despite rolling his ankle injury against Souths. Sunia Turuva keeps his spot on the wing with Taylan May (shoulder) still another week away.

Cowboys: Veteran winger Kyle Feldt returns after missing two games with a hamstring injury so Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow reverts to the bench and Jamayne Taunoa-Brown goes to 18th Man. Jordan McLean has been promoted to the starting side and Coen Hess goes to the bench.
Warriors: Stacey Jones has named the same 17 that was so impressive against the Bulldogs. Chanel Harris-Tavita is listed as 18th Man as he looks to return from a knee injury.

Broncos: No changes to the squad that beat Newcastle. Kobe Hetherington has been named to start despite suffering a head knock against the Knights and Ryan James goes to the bench.
Storm: Playmaker Jahrome Hughes returns after missing Round 22 with a shoulder injury but Felise Kaufusi is still on personal leave after the passing of his father. Young Tonumaipe'a will start in the centre with Marion Seve dropping out due to a hamstring injury.

Eels: A huge boost for the Eels with halfback Mitch Moses named to return from the broken finger he suffered in Round 20. Jake Arthur goes to the reserves list. Winger Bailey Simonsson is listed among the reserves as he nears a return from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for three games.
Bulldogs: A couple of big names in the extended squad with Englishman Luke Thompson and Tevita Pangai jnr among the reserves. Thompson hasn't played since Round 12 due to concussion and Pangai jnr missed the trip to New Zealand last week for personal reasons.

Centre Siosifa Talakai remains sidelined with a shoulder injury but Connor Tracey (head knock) and Matt Moylan (quad) are back on deck to bolster the backline. Braydon Trindall Matt Ikuvalu and Jesse Colquhoun are the three men to drop out of last week's 17.

Roosters: Big men Lindsay Collins (concussion) and Siosiua Taukeiaho (cheekbone) remain sidelined so the Roosters will roll out the same 17 that was so impressive against the Cowboys.

Looking forward to Thursday

Same. Rabbits on a roll but you would think Penrith will want to start to show something.

Cowboys should hammer the Warriors and secure a top 4 position.

Manly are done and Sharks looking for that all important second spot.

Roosters form team and will take care of Tigers who should get the spoon now.

Like the Dragons at home against Titans.

Knights v Raiders will be interesting. Every game is an elimination for the Raiders now... but they are dog s**t but have three easy games.

 

[Fabab]

Intercept to panths,terrible pass from cook.

 

[Angus Young]

Hard to see Panthers not going back to back with players coming back.

Storm did keep them scoreless last week with half their spine missing too.

 

[phantom13]

All time choke by the bunnies that.

 

[eddiesmith]

Interesting if the NRL has changed the obstruction rule so close to finals.

 

[Gigantic]

FMD. Should never have lost that.

I take it that comment is not just referencing the Penrith game?

 

[Aucklander]

 

[Aucklander]

I will add, that the outside defender, like so many wingers, didn't trust his inside defender enough and left a gaping hole by doing so.

You mean the centre? The winger had to come in otherwise the hole would've been much bigger.

Yea, number 4 comes in and hole opens up. To'o was guilty of it multiple times last night.

 

[Jatz]

I actually think he was too tight initially but I can see why he comes in.

I do think it's obstruction though as well so that's probably a caveat to the above.

Usually, a no try. Confusing for all.

 

[royboy2]

I think it was a definite Obstruction, didn't cost us the game though. We s**t the bed fair and square all by ourselves

 

[moto748]

My comment upthread was based on the idea that there was a similar one last week, IIRC. Personally, I'd agree with both being given as tries all day long, but I agree that that's not the way they've been ruling lately. I also don't beiieve it's some massive conspiracy to hand silverware to Penrith, who were deserved winners.

 

[Aucklander]

What a difference a weak makes. Bloody hopeless.

 

[Andronicus]

Worst thing about broncos storm games is that someone will win.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Worst thing about broncos storm games is that someone will win.

This probably would of been a shut out if it wasn't for the gift

 

[eddiesmith]

Great night for Brisbane teams, what happened up there this week?

We got one our way about 3 weeks ago that would be a try under this new interpretation but is a blatant obstruction by the rules everyone knows.

 

[DEVO]

I didn't like that, we have the Broncos in Brisbane next week and they will want to show some ticker after that debacle.

 

[Great8]

Great to get the win but a bit of a strange one. At times we made simple errors and bad choices and at others we had some sublime plays and deft kicks
