BLAKE Ferguson looks to have played his last game for the Raiders after he was left out of interim coach Andrew Dunemann's side for the second straight week.

SIGN UP FOR SUPERCOACH FINALS HERE

While there's still no Ferguson for Canberra the Raiders do get skipper Terry Campese back for Saturday's trip to Auckland to face the Warriors.

With the match a virtual elimination final, Campese will join Anthony Milford in the halves, with Josh McCrone moving to hooker for the dumped Shaun Berrigan.

The other big news out of the team announcements was the four Burgess brothers.

They are in line to take the field together for the first time, with the quartet named in an extended South Sydney squad to meet Wests Tigers on Friday night.

The Englishmen have become a dominant feature of a Rabbitohs pack in sight of the NRL minor premiership, with Sam Burgess' return from a two-game suspension opening the door for the brothers to run out together.

Luke and Sam were both named to start, while twins Tom and George are part of a six-man bench to be culled before the game.

Not even in their native England did all four manage to play alongside each other, the brothers set to accomplish a feat not seen since Roy, Ray, Rex and Bernard Norman took the field together in 1910.

"I played with Sam and George last year, I've played with Tom and George together, I've played with Sam, but we've never all been on the field at the same time," said Luke, who misses the first half of the season with a shoulder injury.

"We've obviously mentioned it, but we're just really enjoying being part of the same club.

"We're really trying to build a culture where we're not just four brothers, the whole squad we bond as brothers."

That camaraderie has the Rabbitohs eyeing off first spot.

Should they beat the Tigers, Souths will take on arch-rivals Sydney Roosters in the final round with the winner to claim the minor premiership.

Benji Marshall returns to five-eighth for his 200th game for the Tigers, while Robbie Farah is back on deck as he becomes the most capped Wests Tigers player with his 202nd appearance.

Brisbane welcome back Alex Glenn for Friday night's crunch game against a Newcastle side without the suspended Kade Snowden, who copped a seven-match ban for a shoulder charge.

The return of Willie Mason from injury softens the blow.

Gold Coast coach John Cartwright admitted his side may need a relaxing of the salary cap rules to field a side against the Sydney Roosters - which injuries taking their toll on the holiday strip.

Cartwright named TBC in the No.16 jumper so thin were his options.

Luke Bailey (ankle) and co-captain Greg Bird (back) were both named, but face fitness tests before being given the all-clear.

Manly welcome back Brett Stewart but Anthony Watmough has joined Brent Kite on the sidelines for Saturday night's top-four clash against Melbourne.

North Queensland have handed a debut to under 20s hooker Jayden Hodges, the cousin of injured Broncos star Justin, for Sunday's vital trip to Cronulla.

Hodges will start from the bench, with Rory Kostjasyn moving to the No.9 to replace Ray Thompson, the unfortunate victim of Snowden's shoulder charge as he nurses a broken jaw.

Canterbury coach Des Hasler has handed a debut to young forward Lachlan Burr as replacement for the suspended Frank Pritchard for the game against Penrith.
