After 26 rounds in the home-and-away season, only five teams remain in the 2024 NSW Cup competition as they all look to become the new premiership winner of the reserve-grade competition.

Defending premiers South Sydney Rabbitohs are out of finals contention, and so are the Dragons, Bulldogs, Knights, Sea Eagles, Roosters, Eels and Western Suburbs Magpies.

This leaves the five remaining teams as the North Sydney Bears, Newtown Jets, Canberra Raiders, New Zealand Warriors and Penrith Panthers.

While the Bears will have the week off, Week 1 of the finals will see the Warriors face the Panthers and the Jets take on the Raiders.

The Newtown Jets have received a big inclusion in winger Sam Stonestreet this week after a couple of weeks playing in the NRL.

Fullback Liam Ison is another player to watch after taking the competition by storm, while Jayden Berrell, Tuuku Hau Tapuha and Billy Burns have all played in the NRL at some point this season.

The Canberra Raiders have suffered two big losses for this week's match in James Schiller and Trey Mooney but have received experienced rake Zac Woolford who will slot straight into the dummy-half role.

Owen Pattie is another player to keep an eye on after winning the 2024 Jersey Flegg Player of the Year award, while Chevy Stewart, Nick Cotric, Emre Guler and Hohepa Puru have all played in the NRL at some point this season.
