"He's very close, but we haven't made up our mind on him just yet," Henjak said.
Comment by ethos
NRL Live
The suspension of Weller Hauraki sees Todd Lowrie join the 17-man squad.
Broncos
Nick Kenny has been ruled out, his place will be taken by either Ashton Sims or Josh McGuire. If Justin Hodges does return, winger Jharal Yow Yeh is the likely one to miss out.
Panthers
Jarrod Sammut (calf) and winger Shane Elford (groin) both face fitness tests today.
Bulldogs
Prop Michael Hodgson will not play due to a hamstring strain. His replacement should be Greg Eastwood, although nothing has been confirmed.
Cowboys
Centre Willie Tonga is out for a month after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. John Williams is favoured to take his spot in the backine. Masase Manuokafoa escaped suspension earlier this week and will take his place in the team.
Roosters
Ben Jones comes in for Jake Friend.
Warriors
Lock Micheal Luck has not fully recovered from concussion, his spot will be taken by Leeson Ah Mau or utility Aaron Heremaia.
Sharks
Brett Seymour is out with Blake Green to play at halfback. Terrance Seu Seu or Mitch Brown will fill Green's position on the interchange bench.
Knights
Winger James McManus (back) is in some doubt.
