NRL Late Mail Round 22: Rabbitohs blow as Cody Walker ruled out

I, and by extension the SuperCoach community, was largely spoiled last round with a bunch of 1-17s and largely uneventful &#8211; or at least unsurprising &#8211; last minute changes. 



It made for a refreshing change of pace from previous weeks where I almost needed a degree to decipher what was happening on those final team sheets.



Looking around the grounds this week, I am cautiosly optimistic that we get a round closer to last week than the previous month, particularly as trades start to dwindle.

TIGERS



Lachlan&nbsp;Galvin&nbsp;was in some doubt earlier in the week after only making it through 75 minutes last round but he&#8217;s been training and will play.&nbsp;



Sione&nbsp;Fainu&nbsp;dropped off the bench Wednesday night and has been replaced by&nbsp;Tim&nbsp;Johannssen, and&nbsp;Justin&nbsp;Olam&nbsp;is in some doubt with his knee.&nbsp;



24 hour cuts: Sione Fainu, Matamua, Feledy&nbsp;



COWBOYS



Heilum&nbsp;Luki&nbsp;was a late withdrawal last week with a hamstring issue but he will play this week.&nbsp;



1-17&nbsp;could be on.&nbsp;



24 hour cuts: Clifford, Chester, Duffy&nbsp;



WARRIORS



Barring any setbacks,&nbsp;Shaun&nbsp;Johnson&nbsp;and&nbsp;Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad&nbsp;will both return from their respective injuries.



The Warriors ran out&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;last week and I could see the same this week.&nbsp;



EELS



I could see&nbsp;Joe&nbsp;Ofahengaue&nbsp;starting at prop and&nbsp;Wiremu&nbsp;Greig&nbsp;moving to the bench but that&#8217;s personal speculation.&nbsp;



1-17&nbsp;wouldn&#8217;t surprise after running out as named last week.&nbsp;



DOLPHINS



Were&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;last week and could be again with nobody in doubt.&nbsp;



ROOSTERS



Joey&nbsp;Manu&nbsp;is good to go so another 1-17 expected here.&nbsp;

TITANS



AJ Brimson&nbsp;is once again on the extended bench. As with previous, his inclusion could see&nbsp;Keano Kini&nbsp;drop to the bench.&nbsp;



Keenan Palasia&nbsp;was a late starter last week so as usual a game day forward swap never surprises.&nbsp;



BRONCOS



Brendan Piakura&nbsp;is good to go so the Broncos should be&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;also.&nbsp;



STORM



Cameron Munster&nbsp;made it through last week and has already been named to start so not expecting anything major here, with&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;in the range of outcomes.&nbsp;



DRAGONS



Out of favour fullback&nbsp;Tyrell&nbsp;Sloan&nbsp;has been given a reprieve and I expect him to stay there this round. A forward shuffle is always on the cards but will expect&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;at this stage.



SHARKS



No changes expected here, could be another&nbsp;1-17.&nbsp;

RABBITOHS



Cody Walker has been ruled out for South Sydney with a calf issue that&#8217;s likely to sideline him for up to a fortnight.



Dion Teaupa will come into the halves to replace him.



No other changes are expected at the Rabbitohs.



PANTHERS



Penrith also look likely to run out&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;after being named according to their growing injury list.&nbsp;



KNIGHTS



Can&#8217;t see any likely changes here either, could be another&nbsp;1-17.&nbsp;



<a id='J6p1CXifTKVqyQRjhr-Cew' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2162857343' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'J6p1CXifTKVqyQRjhr-Cew',sig:'57D0X1KeJtGaanq_1Mgr670tF71QlvprEP-2h0jA_WE=',w:'594px',h:'468px',items:'2162857343',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



BULLDOGS



Josh&nbsp;Addo-Carr&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stephen&nbsp;Crichton&nbsp;should both be fit to play.&nbsp;



Drew&nbsp;Hutchison&nbsp;is again on the extended bench but it seems&nbsp;Toby&nbsp;Sexton&nbsp;is favoured for now, meaning we could have another&nbsp;1-17.



RAIDERS



The myth that is&nbsp;Corey&nbsp;Horsburgh&nbsp;has materialised on the extended bench, though I&#8217;m unsure if he&#8217;ll be a late call up. Another&nbsp;1-17&nbsp;could happen.
