NRL Finals Week 3 teams: Radley named, Sorensen on standby

All four teams in the NRL 2024 preliminary finals have named unchanged lineups for this weekend’s do-or-die games.

The Sydney Roosters have picked Victor Radley to start in Friday’s clash with the Storm in Melbourne, even though the back-rower is dealing with a fractured scapula.

Sualauvi Faalogo missed the Storm’s dominant win over Cronulla in Finals Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, but he is back among the reserves and could be a late addition to the bench.

Likewise, the Panthers have added second-rower Scott Sorensen to the extended squad for their clash with the Sharks this Saturday night.

Cronulla suffered no casualties in their win over the Cowboys last weekend, with centre Jesse Ramien and halfback Nicho Hynes both getting through unscathed.
