Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2579031, member: 8536"] [B] THE potential early returns of Jarrod Mullen, Brent Kite and Jorge Taufua headline a bumper edition of NRL Late Mail. [/B] [B]Panthers v Rabbitohs [/B] Brent Kite (calf) is considered a strong chance of an early return, with Jeremy Latimore to make way. Coach Ivan Cleary says Isaah Yeo was added to an extended bench because he can cover both centre and back row, with doubts over Dean Whare. The Rabbitohs are set to be unchanged. [B]Titans v Broncos[/B] The Titans will be 1-17, with Aidan Sezer (quad) fit to return and William Zillman (hamstring) to be given another week. Ryan James did not travel to Papua New Guinea with the Tweed Heads Queensland Cup side, instead staying in Australia as back-up for the NRL squad. Matt Srama (shoulder) is aiming for a round eight return. The Broncos are expected to be 1-17. [B]Raiders v Knights [/B] The Raiders will be 1-17, with Josh Papalii (ankle), Bill Tupou (hamstring), Jarrad Kennedy and Shannon Boyd (both illness) cleared to return, while Joel Edwards (concussion) is being rested. Jarrod Mullen (hamstring) trained strongly on Thursday (see pics) and is expected to make an early return. [B]Eels v Roosters[/B] The Eels will be unchanged, with Fuifui Moimoi (leg gash) cleared and Ben Smith (finger) to be given another week. The Roosters have named a 19-man squad and will finalise their bench after Friday’s captain’s run, with Jared Warea-Hargreaves (suspension) to return and Kane Evans (ankle) training all week. [B]Tigers v Cowboys[/B] The Tigers are expected to be 1-17, with Ava Seumanufagai (shoulder) and Liam Fulton (concussion) cleared. Kurtis Rowe will make his NRL debut at fullback in place of James Tedesco (ankle), while Blake Austin will make his club debut in place of Braith Anasta (suspension). The Cowboys will be unchanged, with Jason Taumalolo (shoulder) certain to play despite missing much of the second half on Monday night. [B]Warriors v Bulldogs[/B] Acting Warriors coach Andrew McFadden has shaken up the team by dropping Feleti Mateo and Chad Townsend. He is yet to confirm a final team, although hooker Siliva Havili is favoured to debut despite being named out of the 17. Frank Pritchard (ankle) will travel with the Canterbury side, but a final call won’t be made until Saturday. Mitch Brown (ankle) has been cleared to return on the wing in place of Chase Stanley (shoulder), but Moses Mbye will not make the trip across the Tasman. [B]Sea Eagles v Sharks[/B] Jorge Taufua (shoulder) is expected to return for Manly in place of Peta Hiku. Todd Carney (illness) attended a Cronulla video session on Thursday before missing field work, but is not in doubt. Sosaia Feki (knee) trained on Thursday and is a chance to play. [B]Storm v Dragons[/B] The Storm had Thursday off and have only trained once so far this week as they build towards Monday night. They are on track to be unchanged. The Dragons are also very early in their preparations, but Tyson Frizell (ankle) was still in a moon boot on Wednesday and is not considered a chance of an early return.
