NRL Round 3 team lists: Roosters regain stars, Eels swing axe

NRL team lists are up for Round 3 as the 2025 NRL season continues to gain momentum.

The action kicks off with last year’s grand finalists, the Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers, meeting at AAMI Park on Thursday night. The Panthers will be without star fullback Dylan Edwards for a month due to a thigh injury.

The Sydney Roosters will regain Lindsay Collins, Victor Radley, and Spencer Leniu for their clash across the ditch against the Warriors on Friday night.

Despite injury scares last week, Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans will line up for Manly against Canberra to close the round.

The news is much worse for Canterbury, with the Bulldogs set to be without Matt Burton (MCL) and Viliame Kikau (MCL) for their clash against Parramatta.
