NRL R23 teams: Big outs for Broncos, Croker back for Sea Eagles
The team lists are out for round 23 of the 2024 NRL Premiership, and there are some notable absentees.
A hamstring injury to Braydon Trindall has left the Cronulla Sharks short in the halves, with Blayke Brailey shifting into the back seven for their meeting with the Titans on Friday night.
The Brisbane Broncos are missing star forward Payne Haas (foot) and five-eighth Ezra Mam (ankle) for Saturday’s clash with the Cowboys, who have lost veteran front-rower Jake Granville to a pectoral injury.
Experienced hooker Lachlan Croker returns for the Sea Eagles after an extended absence due to concussion symptoms, while five-eighth Kaeo Weekes is back for the Raiders.
After dropping out of the top eight last weekend, the Dolphins regain playmaker Kodi Nikorima and forward Tevita Pangai Junior for their crunch clash with the Warriors on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Wests Tigers have named Adam Doueihi in the centres for their date with the Knights, who have listed out-of-favour halfback Jackson Hastings among the reserves.
