Terry Campese admits his long-awaited return from a knee injury feels like the build up for an NRL debut, as the Tigers join Canberra in feeling good fortune with a star playmaker.
While Wests Tigers face an agonising wait to find out the results of scans on five-eighth Benji Marshall's foot, Cronulla could again be without star No.6 Todd Carney (foot).
Marshall was named by coach Mick Potter to face St George Illawarra, but his place in the lineup will be firmly dependant on his recovery from a foot injury sustained in Monday night's loss to Melbourne.
Carney was not named for the Sharks clash with heavyweights Manly, with Chad Townsend retaining his spot in the halves alongside Jeff Robson.
Gold Coast's big off-season signing Dave Taylor will miss the next two matches after breaching team protocol - opening the door for Mark Minichiello's first appearance of the year.
Albert Kelly has been named for the Titans despite suffering a knee injury last week.
But the news was even better in the nation's capital, with Campese named on an extended bench for Saturday's clash with the Warriors.
Campese has played just eight games since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in 2010, but has convinced the Raiders medical staff he is ready to take the field once more.
"It feels like a debut again to be honest,'' Campese told reporters on Tuesday.
"I got a few emotions running through the body when the medical staff said I was right to go. I'm just excited once again.
"...It's been 12 months since the operation, so it feels like forever. All the hard work is finally paying off."
While Campese said his plan was to be back to his best "after about five minutes", centre Jarrod Croker said it was important for his teammates not to expect too much of the one-time Test representative.
Brisbane welcome back captain Sam Thaiday (suspension), while South Sydney skipper Michael Crocker, dropped to NSW Cup for the past two matches, is on a seven-man bench for Saturday's clash with Melbourne.
The Storm will be without Matt Duffie, who will miss seven weeks after dislocating his shoulder in NSW Cup - Sisa Waqa holds his place on the wing from Monday night's team, while former Origin half Brett Finch joins an extended bench for the first time this year.
Greg Eastwood returns for Canterbury's date with Sonny Bill Williams and the Sydney Roosters in coach Des Hasler's only change from last week's 20-6 loss to Manly.
St George Illawarra turned to Jason Nightingale as the replacement for fullback Gerard Beale (knee, season), with Daniel Vidot filling in on the wing.
Penrith coach Ivan Cleary is persisting with halves pairing Tom Humble and Blake Austin despite last round's 30-0 thrashing at the hands of North Queensland and Newcastle veteran Danny Buderus finds himself back on the bench after missing a week with back trouble.
