NRL R7 team lists: Tigers drop Galvin, Moses returns for Eels

NRL team lists are in for Round 7 of the 2025 season, with several key ins and outs across a huge Easter weekend of footy.

The round kicks off on Thursday night with Manly taking on the Dragons. The Sea Eagles welcome back speedster Jason Saab, who was a late withdrawal last week due to ankle soreness, while the Dragons lose winger Christian Tuipulotu to a hamstring injury.

The Bulldogs are almost at full strength with the return of key duo Viliame Kikau and Matt Burton for their clash with the Rabbitohs, who regain veteran playmaker Cody Walker but lose Alex Johnston to injury.

Tino Fa’asuamaleaui returns from suspension for the Titans in their clash against a largely unchanged Raiders lineup.

In one of the round’s most talked-about matchups, the Wests Tigers have dropped Lachlan Galvin following news of his planned departure at the end of 2026. The Tigers also lose Jeral Skelton to a hamstring injury suffered in last week’s match.

Meanwhile, the Eels are boosted by the early return of star halfback Mitchell Moses as they prepare to take on an understrength Wests side.
