Entering Round 6, some NRLย clubs are set to receive significant boosts to their team, while others have lost key players as they look to clinch the two points.
Some big additions this week include Reece Walsh, Josh Addo-Carr and Zac Hosking, while Latrell Mitchell, James Tedesco and Dominic Young headline the losses.
Teams will be named on Tuesday at 4pm (AEST), but here is all the latest in news and rumours.
Melbourne Storm vs Canterbury Bulldogs
The Melbourne Storm will likely keep the same 17 from last week against the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Nelson Asofoa-Solomona's return to the NRL has been delayed after he was sent to the sin-bin in the NSW Cup and is facing a stint on the sidelines.
However, in good news, Joe Chan made a successful return to reserve grade on the weekend and could be an outside chance to be selected this week.

The Bulldogs may receive Josh Addo-Carr back to face his former team, but they sustained a magnitude of injuries last week that will have severe ramifications for Round 6.
Blake Taaffe (concussion) is significant absence and will shake up the club's backline dramatically.
News Corp has reported that Connor Tracey (calf) and Kurt Mann (hand fracture) will both miss the game, while Chris Patolo (neck pain) and Harrison Edwards (neck pain) are also in doubt.
The publication understands that Bailey Hayward will likely be called up, while Max King (wrist) will push to be available.
