Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards

The Panthers have been dealt a massive setback ahead of their blockbuster clash with the Rabbitohs with fullback Dylan Edwards being ruled out.

Edwards sustained a minor foot injury during the week and has been replaced by Charlie Staines, who will play his first NRL game since round 21.

While Staines has been named as custodian, coach Ivan Cleary may opt to shift Stephen Crichton to fullback at the last minute.

Two games will be held today with the Roosters playing the Titans at 7:40pm while the Panthers take on the Rabbitohs at 9:50pm.

Tomorrow the Knights faces the Eels at 6.05pm.
