Inglis back in business
Greg Inglis has been named to make his return for South Sydney against Cronulla on Saturday night.
Inglis has missed three games due to suspension for a shoulder charge on Dean Young in the Rabbitohs' win over St George Illawarra late last month.
The champion full-back's return will give Souths a much-needed boost after they were outclassed by Manly last Friday.
Issac Luke returns to the starting team at hooker for Souths while Nathan Peats moves to a six-man bench for the Sharks clash at Shark Park.
Competition leader Canterbury also received a huge boost ahead of its clash with Wests Tigers on Friday with star forwards Sam Kasiano and James Graham set to make returns from injury.
Kasiano has missed three games after suffering a cheek injury in the Bulldogs' win over Manly in round 20, while Englishman Graham sat out Sunday's win over Brisbane with a minor leg injury.
Brisbane coach Anthony Griffin dropped a selection surprise naming Josh Hoffman to make his comeback from a one-game ban on the wing with Corey Norman retaining the full-back spot against Melbourne on Friday at Lang Park.
Young winger Lachlan Maranta will return to the Queensland Cup at the weekend.
With Josh McGuire and Corey Parker and Alex Glenn still on the injured list, Brenton Gibb comes onto the bench which includes utility Luke Capewell and forwards Mitchell Dods and Dunamis Lui.
Prop Dane Tilse makes his return for Canberra, which takes on the Sydney Roosters at home in the early Saturday match.
Tilse was given permission to miss last week's victory over Penrith to attend the birth of his daughter.
His return means Sam Mataora shifts to the interchange bench and Jarrad Kennedy drops out of the 17.
Gold Coast meanwhile will push Queensland State of Origin forward Nate Myles into the front row for its clash with Parramatta on Sunday after veteran prop Luke Bailey (ruptured Achilles) had surgery on Tuesday.
The Titans will be boosted by the return to full-back of attacking spark William Zillman.
Manly centre Steve Matai (ankle) and prop Jason King (sternum) are set to come back from injury after being named for the Sea Eagles' match with Newcastle at Brookvale on Sunday.
North Queensland will delay a decision on whether half-back Ray Thompson (shoulder), who is facing surgery at the end of the season, travels to Wollongong for the vital game against St George Illawarra on Monday.
Cowboys coach Neil Henry wants to check Thompson's injury later in the week but he is confident five-eighth Johnathan Thurston and prop James Tamou are over minor injuries sustained in the club's huge win over the Warriors last weekend.

Business as usual for the Central Coast Bears
The Central Coast Bears' Chief Executive says he remains focussed on entry to the NRL in 2013, despite league boss David Gallop flagging the expansion may not happen until 2015.
Over the weekend, Mr Gallop suggested a delay in the NRL expansion to give existing clubs time to stabilise themselves under a new broadcast deal due to be in place by 2013.
But Bears' CEO Greg Florimo says while he wants Mr Gallop to clarify his comments when they meet later this week, it is business as usual for the club.
"Obviously David's comments are just that, comments. There is no real strategic decision based around them. The Independent Commission will be the ones to make that decision so until that group is formed, it is all just speculation at this point," he said.

How a Game of Rugby League Can Teach You to Make Your Online Business a Success
I just watched the state of origin (a rugby league game played each year between NSW and Qld). It was a terrible game for a NSW fan (me lol) but I suddenly realised I was being taught a very valuable lesson.
How I hear you ask? Simple!
Qld absolutely belted NSW, it was a crushing defeat and more importantly for them it sealed the series and in doing so provided Qld with a record 5 series in a row. The series is 3 games each and every year and the series winner must win two.
This in itself is amazing because the two sides are made up of the best of the best of Australian Rugby League players and there is little between them on paper or in form.
What is even more amazing and where our lesson comes from is this...
The QLD side is basically the same side that lost 3 series in a row to NSW before going on to win 5 in a row as of an hour ago or so. They were called one of the worst sides the state had ever had and most people called for change and had little faith in them. They wanted to quit and start all over again.
The lesson is simple. To achieve greatness in anything you must first of all persist. You must trust and back yourself to be a winner and then you have to go out and train and educate yourself in all the areas of the game that you previously failed in.
You should never give in, believe in yourself, give yourself time to learn, to develop and be prepared to fail before you succeed. Ignore the critics and naysayers who will run you down and have faith in your ability.
Above all you must have "heart" and the courage to remain true to yourself and what you desire.
Qld proved that this is what breeds success. Yes it is just a game of football BUT if you take and apply the same principles to your business then you cannot do anything but succeed.
I was born and bred in NSW and will forever be a NSW fan but I suddenly realized just how great the Qld side had become and how they had done it. I also so clearly how these principles apply to other parts of your life and wanted to share that with anybody out there struggling to WIN.
I know that business is never easy and an online business is a challenging and daunting prospect for most if not all people. However the rewards for success are great.
The "Queenslanders" showed us how to do it NOW it is a matter of applying this knowledge to ourselves and just as they did glorying in the rewards that will come.
