Following the completion of the fifth round of the 2025 NRL season, several teams will look to change up their team, while others will enter Round 6 with the exact same line-up.

Tom Gilbert (Dolphins), Jarome Luai (Wests Tigers), Will Warbrick (Melbourne Storm), Dylan Edwards (Penrith Panthers) and Reuben Cotter (North Queensland Cowboys) are just a few players who are set to be available for selection heading into Round 6.

However, while some return, the likes of Cody Walker (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Ray Stone (Dolphins), Corey Waddell (Manly Sea Eagles), Brendan Piakura (Brisbane Broncos) and Jack Cole (Penrith Panthers) have been ruled out for this week.

Gold Coast Titans

The Gold Coast Titans have suffered a disastrous blow with skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui facing a stint on the sidelines with suspension after being charged with a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle from last week's match against the Dolphins.

With Fa'asuamaleaui out, the Titans are set to receive his brother Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui (ankle) and hooker Sam Verrills (hip) back from injury and will be available for selection.

Outside backs Alofiana Khan-Pereira (hamstring) and Jojo Fifita (thigh) may also potentially be available but their status is unknown at the moment with the club providing a 'TBC' timeline for the duo.
