NRL line-ups revealed for Round 16

All 16 NRL clubs have all confirmed their 21-man squads for this weekend’s Round 16 action.

State of Origin game II was on the agenda last weekend, meaning a week off to refresh for most players and coaches.

The week before saw Penrith return to winning ways, beating top four rivals Sydney 38-12, while Melbourne comfortably defended their lead at the top of the table with a 66-16 thrashing of Wests.

In the top eight, Parramatta, South Sydney, Manly, St George and Cronulla all notched wins, while at the bottom of the table Brisbane and Canterbury were both condemned to their 12th defeats of the season.

This week’s round is kicked off by the Roosters hosting the Storm at McDonald Jones Stadium on Thursday at 10:50am (UK time).
