Highlights Latest

Josh Addo-Carr (ankle) and Jeral Skelton (leg) each sustained injuries in the Round 26 match against the Sea Eagles and drop out from Tuesday's named squad. They join Kurt Mann (collarbone), Blake Wilson (ankle), Bronson Xerri (suspension) and Matt Burton (HIA protocol) as unavailable for the match.

Both Addo-Carr and Skelton should be available for selection in next weeks' Week One Finals Series match.

With the two wingers unavailable this Round, Ciraldo has opted to inject young pups Eli Clark and Jonathan Sua into the mix, each set to make their NRL debuts on Saturday night.

Clark, a product of the Club's North Coast Regional Academy and member of the 2023 Jersey Flegg Premiership winning squad, featured in the Club's Pre-Season Challenge and was a mainstay in the Club's NSW Cup campaign this year.

Sua is a promising local junior who also excelled in this year's NSW Cup, collecting 11 tries from 16 appearances for the Club in 2024.
