NRL R18 teams: Tom Trbojevic back for Manly, Origin stars return

There are some big inclusions for round 18 of the 2024 NRL Premiership.

State of Origin stars Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Murray are back for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who kick off the week’s action when they tackle the Eels at CommBank Stadium on Thursday night.

The Gold Coast Titans regain AJ Brimson and Moeaki Fotuaika for their date with the Sharks on Friday night, while the Broncos bring in Reece Walsh, Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas to face a Panthers side that is boosted by Dylan Edwards, Brian To’o, Jarome Luai and Liam Martin.

The Melbourne Storm have Ryan Papenzhuyzen back for Saturday’s clash with the Wests Tigers, who regain star second-rower John Bateman.

The North Queensland Cowboys rested their Origin guns for last week’s win over Penrith, but they are all back on deck for the clash with Manly in Townsville this Saturday night.

Meanwhile, Tom Trbojevic returns from a hamstring injury to line up alongside Reuben Garrick in the centres for the Sea Eagles, with Tolu Koula staying on at fullback.
