The D.T.
PANTHERS V SEA EAGLES
Saturday 8 July, 5.30pm at Pepper Stadium
Panthers: Mitch Rein (illness) returns at hooker in place of Sione Katoa, with Peter Wallace (groin) still two or three weeks away. James Fisher-Harris (hamstring) is also available for selection after a long lay-off. Dean Whare (jaw) failed to finish Sunday’s game and his availability is unclear. While Jack De Belin is the 18th man for NSW, Trent Merrin could be a late call-up if both Tyson Frizell (back/ribs/ankle) and Boyd Cordner (calf) are ruled out.
Sea Eagles: No injury concerns. Jake Trbojevic is on Origin duty, with Darcy Lussick tipped to come into the starting side. Daly Cherry-Evans’ Origin snub is the Sea Eagles’ gain.
