Dragons: The Dragons are 1-17. Hooker Billy Brittain remains on the bench with interim coach Dean Young planning to play him at hooker at some point to give Ben Hunt a break.

Back-rower Jackson Ford and Brittain replace Korbin Sims (calf) and Paul Vaughan (suspension) on the bench. Rookie prop Eddie Blacker has been named on the reserves and remains an option if Young wants another big man.

Jayden Sullivan and Max Feagai were omitted from the reserves list 24 hours before kick-off.

Blacker and Tristan Sailor were cut an hour before game time.

The Dragons have won their past five games against the Titans.

Titans: The Titans are 1-17 with coach Justin Holbrook deciding not to take the chance on winger Anthony Don (rib cartilage) this week. Halfback Jamal Fogarty is back training after a knee to the ribs, while forward Keegan Hipgrave should be fine despite ankle ligament damage.

Ash Taylor returns in the halves with Tanah Boyd dropping to the reserves. Tyrone Peachey is named at lock for the suspended Moeaki Fotuaika with Erin Clark recalled on the bench. Mitch Rein replaces Nathan Peats at hooker and Beau Fermor starts in the second row with Keegan Hipgrave reverting to the pine.

Roosters: A late switch an hour before game time with retrurning skipper Boyd Cordner moving to the bench and Nat Butcher taking his place in the starting side.

Coach Trent Robinson said on Thursday that Cordner was right to make his much-anticipated return from a series of head knocks. "He's trained well for a few weeks now, he's trained physically. He's ready to go."

Winger Daniel Tupou (ankle) is also set to return from injury with Matt Ikuvalu and Daniel Fifita out and Nat Butcher dropping to the bench. Max Bailey and Egan Butcher were the players to make way on Thursday.

Fifita and Ryan Hall were omitted an hour before game time.

The Roosters have won 11 of their past 13 games at the SCG.

Broncos: The Broncos are 1-17. Anthony Milford (hamstring) is out with Sean O'Sullivan at five-eighth for his first game of the year. Cory Paix starts at hooker for the suspended Issac Luke with Brodie Croft earning a recall on the interchange.

Winger/second-rower Corey Oates has been included on the extended bench six weeks after suffering a leg injury.

Tyson Gamble and Corey Oates were omitted 24 hours before before kick-off and Jesse Arthars and Pride Petterson-Robati were cut an hour before game time.

Centre Kotoni Staggs has scored eight tries in nine games this year. Peter Gentle will coach the side for the remainder of 2020 after Anthony Seibold's time at the helm ended.
