Following the completion of the ninth round of the 2025 NRL season, several teams will look to change up their team, while others will enter Round 10 with the exact same line-up.
Brian To'o (Penrith Panthers), Ezra Mam (Brisbane Broncos), Matt Burton (Canterbury Bulldogs), Latrell Mitchell (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Harry Grant (Melbourne Storm) and Teig Wilton (Cronulla Sharks) are just some of the names that could be available for selection heading into Round 10.
However, while some return, the likes of Reuben Cotter (North Queensland Cowboys), Brent Naden (Wests Tigers), Jye Gray (South Sydney Rabbitohs) and Thomas Weaver (Gold Coast Titans) are all set to be ruled out for this week.
