NRL Late Mail: Round 18

Panthers coach Anthony Griffin has finalised his side to face Cronulla Sharks at Panthers Stadium on Friday.

James Maloney, Nathan Cleary and Tyrone Peachey have been omitted following their efforts for NSW in Origin III.

Fullback Caleb Aekins, who recently re-signed with the club until the end of 2020, will make his NRL debut as Panther No.580.

The 20-year-old Kiwi will be the club's sixth NRL debutant in 2018 and will make his debut in the youngest and most inexperienced side to take the field in the NRL competition this year.

The Panthers will wear the 2018 Home Jersey.
