Sea Eagles: Jake Trbojevic (calf) leads a posse of returning stars in Round 18 with Jason Saab (shoulder), Kelma Tuilagi (facial fracture), Ben Trbojevic (hamstring) and Brad Parker (elbow) also back on deck. Jake Trbojevic's last game was in Round 12 and his leadership has been sorely missed. Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega, Morgan Harper, Sean Keppie, Karl Lawton and Ben Condon all make way.

Roosters: Joseph Suaalii returns from suspension and Fletcher Baker from a head knock in a boost for Trent Robinson's men but Angus Crichton (knee) faces an extended stint on the sideline and Egan Butcher (concussion) is also out.

Nathan Brown and Naufahu Whyte come into the back row and Siua Wong makes his NRL debut off the bench. Jake Turpin took a knock to the ribs on Sunday but has been named.
