Injuries and suspensions are set to cause huge headaches and force several changes across the competition this weekend.

After their brave win against the Roosters, the Dragons copped a double blow with serious injuries to Jack Bird and Jaydn Su'A, while their opponents on Sunday have their own headaches with fullback Daine Laurie out for a month with a knee injury.

Elsewhere, the Cowboys have a welcome headache on their hands with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow due to return from injury, leaving Todd Payten with a decision to make on whether he moves the in-form Scott Drinkwater out of the fullback spot.

Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles and Knights are both facing a back-rower crisis after further injuries to their respective squads in round seven. 

Here are the lineups for round 8 and all the latest team news.
