Overview
- ABC Sport is running live digital coverage of the Round 22 double-header with Cronulla Sharks vs South Sydney Rabbitohs as the opening match and the Wests Tigers facing the Parramatta Eels later in the day.
- Cronulla has swapped its starting props so Oregon Kaufusi and Jesse Colquhoun will start while Addin Fonua-Blake and Tom Hazelton move to the bench.
- South Sydney made a game-day reshuffle with Adam Elliott promoted to start at second row, Euan Aiken dropped from the side, John Radel named at prop, and Keaon Koloamatangi shifted into the second row.
- Coaches made the changes to adjust front-row rotations and edge matchups, a tactical move that can affect player minutes, collision share, and defensive workloads in a late regular-season match.
- The live blog also flags concurrent NRLW Magic Round fixtures in Wagga Wagga and invites reader interaction as the matches proceed.
