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.
According toย The Sydney Morning Herald,ย the Rabbitohs will unveil young gun Jye Gray in the number one jersey, who will make his NRL debut as Latrell Mitchell (suspension) is sidelined for the next few weeks.
Per the publication, Tyrone Munro will also make his return from injury and will take his spot on the wing.
Head coach Jason Demetriou will also welcome back Shaquai Mitchell (concussion), who is available to be selected, while Peter Mamouzelos is set to play a one-two punch with Damien Cook.
According to the Herald and News Corp, Damien Cook is set to start from the interchange bench with Mamouzelos wearing the number nine jersey.
