Seven weeks remain in the 2025 NRL regular season, and every game is becoming more and more critical for a host of teams in the fight for finals positions.
Free flowing games have been the order of the day in recent weeks too.
Round 20 saw four teams pass the 30-point barrier, while only one game had less than 35 points across the course of the weekend.
It didn't help us in our try-scoring predictions, but after weeks of strong results, we will aim to get back on the horse this weekend.
Here is who looks likely to find their way over the line this weekend as the NRL rolls ahead into Round 21.
Gehamat Shibasaki (Brisbane Broncos)
Shibasaki has come from the absolute clouds this year to be one of the game's top-tier centres.
At this stage last year, his chance of playing NRL again anywhere looked slim.
Now he is an Origin star.
He has scored 12 tries in 16 games this weekend and runs into a shaky Eels defensive outfit. It should be the sort of match where he adds to that record.
Jaylan de Groot (Gold Coast Titans)
The Titans back is coming off an excellent game against the Wests Tigers, and while his side didn't win, his elusiveness, agility and speed were on full display as he crossed the tryline twice last weekend.
While he didn't score in previous games this year, they were predominantly spent at fullback.
He is a threat with the ball in hand, reads the game well, and while the Titans likely won't beat the Warriors, they could certainly score some points. If they do, De Groot should be amongst it.
William Kennedy (Cronulla Sharks)
Every game William Kennedy plays right now is a chance to put himself in the shop window given he is still uncontracted for 2026.
The star fullback should have a field day against the injury-ruined South Sydney here too.
His support play is top class, and if Braydon Trindall and Nicho Hynes play like they did last week against the Roosters, then opportunities should present themselves over and over again for Kennedy.
Jed Stuart (Canberra Raiders)
The Knights have all sorts of injury issues, and, in another blow to their backline, Bradman Best is also now set to miss out.
While the Knights are still fighting hard in defence, their ability to stop tries on the edge has been questionable all year.
Stuart has taken to first-grade superbly since making his debut, scoring four tries in four games, and there is a fair chance he will find his way over again here.
Stephen Crichton (Canterbury Bulldogs)
There are plenty of good games ahead this weekend, but it might be the best being saved for last when the Bulldogs host Manly at Moore Park.
While the Sea Eagles had a fantastic win against the Storm last week, they now need to back it up against another top-tier side in the Bulldogs.
One of the reasons Canterbury have been at the top is centre, captain and Blues Origin star Stephen Crichton. Manly's defence can open up on the edges, and if the opportunity presents, Crichton won't waste it.
Value play of the week - Jeremiah Nanai (North Queensland Cowboys)
We really like the prospects of Nanai scoring this weekend.
The Cowboys second-rower is one of the game's elite players in the air, and for a forward, has a mightily impressive try-scoring record.
While the Cowboys in general have struggled in recent weeks, none of that is down to Tom Dearden's kicking game, and if he gets it right, you'd have to assume Nanai with an agility and height advantage over his opposite numbers for the struggling Dragons, will find a way to score at some point.
