Entering Round 5, some NRL 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 Cameron Munster, Alex Twal and Jahrome Hughes, while the losses are headlined by Jacob Preston and Luke Metcalf.
Teams will be named on Tuesday at 4pm (AEST), but here is all the latest in news and rumours.
Newcastle Knights vs St George Illawarra Dragons
After accepting a one-game suspension for an incident involving Ryan Papenhuyzen, prop Leo Thompson returns for the Knights and will take his place in the starting front-row.
Adam O'Brien has revealed that Dane Gagai will be fit and ready to go after being a late withdrawal against the New Zealand Warriors.
O'Brien also has a difficult task regarding his halves and whether or not to recall Jackson Hastings back into the team at the expense of either Tyson Gamble or Jack Cogger.
The Daily Telegraph understands that Hastings will be recalled back into the team in favour of Tyson Gamble.

After claiming their second win of the season last week against the Manly Sea Eagles, the Dragons will be looking to continue their good form going into this week.
Shane Flanagan will name the same team that played last weekend after sustaining no injuries. However, Jack De Belin and Raymond Faitala-Mariner are both contending for the starting lock position.
Jesse Marschke has seemingly earned the utility spot from the interchange bench and was very productive in the position last week.
