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.

The Rabbitohs will be without veteran winger Alex Johnston (hamstring) for some time. His departure will see Jacob Gagai and Izaac Thompson battle it out for the vacant wing position.
