Broncos – In: Corey Oates, Jaiyden Hunt, Kobe Hetherington, Fletcher Baker, Deine Mariner / Out: Brendan Piakura, Kotoni Staggs, Payne Haas, Xavier Willison, Josiah Karapani
Storm – In: Will Warbrick, Nick Meaney, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Harry Grant, Josh King, Shawn Blore, Eli Katoa, Trent Loiero, Jahrome Hughes, Jack Howarth, Tui Kamikamica / Out: Ryan Papenhuyzen, Dean Ieremia, Keagan Russell-Smith, Marion Seve, Tepai Moeroa, Tristan Powell, Young Tonumaipea, Joe Chan, Kane Bradley, Aitvalu Lisatii, Lazarus Vaalepu
What We Like
The Storm will welcome back over ten players and should be able to pull off a decisive win against an injury-plagued Broncos team that just want their season to be over.
Final Thought
The Storm will be eager to get the party started quickly and take full advantage of their opponents when attacking. Don’t be surprised if an early try is on the cards.

Tigers – In: Josh Feledy / Out: Solomon Alaimalo
Eels – In: Kelma Tuilagi, Sean Russell / Out: Dan Keir, Jake Tago
What We Like
The ‘Spoon Bowl’ will finally take place, and surprisingly, both teams are in pretty good form heading into the match. However, the Tigers have more to play for in front of their home fans and don’t want to win a third consecutive wooden spoon.
Final Thought
Centre Josh Feledy will re-enter the team and this will be his last opportunity to impress club officials for a position in the Top 30 roster next season. Although he is contracted for 2025, there has been chatter that he could be let go, a perfect performance will set him up to cement a spot in the team next year.

Rabbitohs – In: Dean Hawkins, Richie Kennar / Out: Jack Wighton, Fletcher Myers
Roosters – In: Sandon Smith, Joseph Suaalii, Siua Wong, Zach Dockar-Clay, De La Salle Va’a, Junior Pauga / Out: Sam Walker, Brandon Smith, Michael Jennings, Victor Radley, Nat Butcher, Daniel Tupou
What We Like
Some could argue that James Tedesco is in career-best form at the moment and is on his way to earning the 2024 Dally M medal. With one more round to go, he will be looking to leave nothing on the table and pick up another try to add to his resume.
Final Thought
The Roosters will be looking to keep their arch-rivals to nil. The Rabbitohs have also lost another player in ex-Dally M winner Jack Wighton.

Dragons – In: Moses Suli, Jacob Liddle, Blake Lawrie / Out: Connor Muhleisen, Mikaele Ravalawa, Ryan Couchman
Raiders – In: Jamal Fogarty, Ethan Strange, Trey Mooney / Out: Elliott Whitehead, Jordan Rapana, Adam Cook
What We Like
As their season comes to a close, the Dragons enter the game off a disappointing and poor performance against the Eels. Whereas the Raiders enter the match after a two-point victory over top-four contenders Sydney Roosters.
Final Thought
While the Dragons have seemed to produce inconsistent performances this season, winger Zac Lomax has been a standout for the team and is expected to represent the Australian Kangaroos later this year.

Bulldogs – In: Stephen Crichton, Drew Hutchison / Out: Bronson Xerri, Matt Burton
Cowboys – In: Thomas Mikaele / Out: Jaxon Purdue
What We Like
The Bulldogs have been one of the most in-form teams especially at home and are just one victory from earning a home final for the 2024 NRL Finals.
Final Thought
The Bulldogs and Cowboys both need a win to earn a home final. Could this match go to Golden Point? The Bulldogs have been to extra-time more than once this season at Accor Stadium but have been able to win it on every occasion.

Panthers – In: Scott Sorensen / Out: Matt Eisenhuth
Titans – In: Keano Kini, Arama Hau, Jacob Alick / Out: Jaylan De Groot, David Fifita, Josiah Pahulu
What We Like
It’s hard to go past the Panthers as they take on a Titans team that will be without several first-grade stars including AJ Brimson, Phil Sami and David Fifita.
Final Thought
A large margin can be expected from the Panthers as they look to enter the finals with a home-final and a large win could cause panic across the rest of the competition as they look to nail their fourth consecutive NRL Premiership.

Sea Eagles – In: Clayton Faulalo, Ben Trbojevic / Out: Tom Trbojevic, Jason Saab
Sharks – In: Jesse Ramien, Ronaldo Mulitalo / Out: Sam Stonestreet, Braden Hamlin-Uele
What We Like
After a disappointing loss to the New Zealand Warriors last week, the Sharks will be hoping to bounce back against a Manly team that will be without fullback Tom Trbojevic as the two sides head into the finals next week.
Final Thought
Winger Ronaldo Mulitalo will re-enter the team from injury and will be attempting to make up for his absence with multiple tries against Manly as he takes on an inexperience Lehi Hopoate on the opposing wing.

Knights – In: Tyson Frizell, Tyson Gamble / Out: Thomas Cant, Will Pryce
Dolphins- In: Jesse Bromwich, Kodi Nikorima / Out: Isaiya Katoa, Lachlan Hubner
What We Like
The Knights will clash against The Dolphins for a spot in the top-eight, but after a dominant showing against the Broncos, the Dolphins will be aiming to make the finals for the maiden time in the club’s career.
Final Thought
With both teams needing a win to advance to the 2024 NRL Finals, expect a high-scoring affair between the two sides as they and outdo each other in attack.
