Round 17 presents the last full weekend of rugby league during the State of Origin period, with a full slate of eight games presenting plenty of intriguing contests.
Here are the players we expect to cross for a four-pointer during Round 17 of the 2025 NRL season.
Xavier Savage (Canberra Raiders)
The Raiders have been very strong in recent weeks if you look at the results sheet, although an up and down victory over the Wests Tigers last weekend indicates they still have a long way to go.
The Knights present an opportunity to put plenty of points on the board though, with their defensive edges average at times.
That is hardly likely to improve following the arrival of Dominic Young, who played his first game for the club in his second stint last weekend after being released by the Roosters for ball handling and defensive issues.
Savage has nine tries in his 14 games so far this year, and will be favoured to add to that record here.
Jesse Arthars (Brisbane Broncos)
After starting the season like a house on fire, Arthars has scored just a single try in his last six weeks, and needs to find a way to turn things around here.
He comes up against a Warriors side with more injuries and changes in their back five, which should create defensive fragilities.
He certainly knows how to find the tryline, and with the Broncos looking for improvement in their own attack and processes, should find a way to do so here.
Zac Lomax (Parramatta Eels)
Lomax has already sunk the Dragons once this year, and while he did so with a field goal rather than a try that time, the script appears written for him to find a four-pointer in this one.
The winger has only scored two tries this year, but the Eels have produced enough in attack to suggest the Dragons' very changed edges for this game will be under fire from the word go.
Grant Anderson (Melbourne Storm)
The Storm outside back has been officially signed by the Broncos for next year in the world's worst-kept secret, so it would be only fair that he capitalised on that with another try.
He has gone somewhat under the radar this year too, scoring ten in twelve games.
Given Cronulla's struggles with their own game in recent weeks, a trip to Melbourne likely isn't about to fix that either. This is shaping up as a cricket score.
Alofiana Khan-Pereira (Gold Coast Titans)
In a game that is terribly difficult to tip, the Titans clash with the Cowboys to close the round.
Neither team has been setting the world on fire, but there could be plenty of points on offer in this game. If there are points on offer, then it's a fair bet Khan-Pereira will be scoring them.
He has 53 tries in 53 games, and 9 in 9 this year, and has scored three doubles back-to-back in his last three games.
Value play of the week - Kulikefu Finefeuiaki (The Dolphins)
The Dolphins have been scoring points for fun in recent weeks, and they could do so again against the defensively susceptible Rabbitohs, who spend plenty of their games camped on their own line.
While the outside backs are all likely to find their way over, some of the forwards are also likely to feature, and Finefeuiaki is certainly among them.
He is yet to score this year, but with the Dolphins battling injuries, he could have an increased role between now and the end of the season giving him a crack at adding to his five career tries to date.
