Raiders: A late change on game day with centre Seb Kris dropping out and Semi Valemei coming into the side on the wing with Jordan Rapana shifting to centre. The other player to drop out an hour before kick-off was Sam Williams and Elijah Anderson is 18th man.

Joseph Tapine suffered a knee injury in round 24 but will play. The only change in the pack is Iosia Soliola coming in at lock and Ryan Sutton going to the bench.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad makes his first run-on start since returning from a neck injury, slotting into his favoured fullback position.

Trey Mooney was cut from the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

To play finals, the Raiders must beat the Roosters and rely on the Storm defeating the Sharks.

Roosters: In late changes an hour before kick-off Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is out of the side, Isaac Liu moves to prop and Egan Butcher is promoted from the bench to start at lock.

Naufahu Whyte has been added to the bench. Brad Abbey is 18th man.

Josh Morris (hamstring) and Matt Ikuvalu (ankle) have been part of team training for the past week and will play. Adam Keighran (head knock) returns after a week off.

Siosiua Taukeiaho (knee) was cleared of any serious damage from a Liam Knight tackle last week and should also be OK to take his spot in the side.

Moala Graham-Taufa and Daniel Suluka-Fifita were the first two players cut from the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

The Roosters have won five of their past seven games against the Raiders.
