The NRL team lists have been confirmed for Round 4, with plenty of changes around the competition once again.
We have all the big talking points in one place.

Rabbitohs WON BY 10 POINTS
South Sydney Rabbitohs
- Big news for the Rabbitohs with Alex Johnston returning on the wing.
- Campbell Graham is the man out with a leg injury. Isaiah Tass shuffles into the centres.
Penrith Panthers
- One of the big calls this week was replacing Nathan Cleary, who is out with concussion. Trent Toelau wins the jersey ahead of the likes of Brad Schneider.
- Casey McLean has been dropped in a surprise move. Daine Laurie comies in at fullback after missing last week through injury, Thomas Jenkins goes to the centres and Paul Alamoti shuffles back to the wing.
- Blaize Talagi holds onto the utility spot on the bench.
2025-03-28T07:00:00Z
Titans WON BY 18 POINTS
Sydney Roosters
- The Roosters simply can't take a trick this year. Connor Watson is out with concussion, so Zach Dockar-Clay comes in at hooker.
- Nat Butcher and Lindsay Collins both return from injury, but only on the bench. Naufahu Whyte, Spencer Leniu and Victor Radley hold onto their starting middle-third roles.
- Billy Smith is 18th man.
- Makahesi Makatoa is (alongside Watson), the other man out.
Gold Coast Titans
- Jaylan De Groot reportedly sees himself as an NRL-level fullback and will get the chance here with Keano Kini out injured.
- There was some hope Jaimin Jolliffe would only miss a week, but he remains out of the 22-man squad this week.
- Arama Hau is getting close to a call-up, sitting as 18th man.
2025-03-28T09:00:00Z
Broncos WON BY 8 POINTS
The Dolphins
- Maybe something of a surprise given three straight losses - no changes for the Dolphins this week as they prepare to tackle the Broncos.
- Still no sign of Connelly Lemuelu's return yet.
Brisbane Broncos
- The big call has been made in Brisbane. The return of Kotoni Staggs sees Deine Mariner make way. Gehamat Shibasaki survives with the other centre spot.
- No other changes for the Broncos although Tyson Smoothy is 18th man.
2025-03-29T04:00:00Z
Dragons WON BY 6 POINTS
St George Illawarra Dragons
- Some big switches for the Dragons. Dylan Egan will make his NRL debut, and David Klemmer his club debut. Both players are on the bench.
- The two to make way are Blake Lawrie and Raymond Faitala-Mariner.
- Still no spot for Tom Eisenhuth who can only feature among the 22 despite being one of the Dragons' most consistent last year.
- Corey Allan returns this week through the NSW Cup.
Melbourne Storm
- More issues than you can poke a stick at for the Storm, with Jahrome Hughes, Nick Meaney and Nelson Asofa-Solomona all out.
- Tyran Wishart moves from the bench to the number seven jumper.
- Grant Anderson shuffles in from the wing to centre, with Will Wabrick returning to take the vacant spot.
- Bronson Garlick comes in as the new utility, and Lazarus Vaalepu takes Nelson Asofa-Solomona's spot.
- The likes of Sua Fa'alogo, and youngsters Keagan Russell-Smith and Angus Hinchey, are all in the 22-man squad.
2025-03-29T06:30:00Z
Cowboys WON BY 10 POINTS
North Queensland Cowboys
- Zac Laybutt is moving closer to a return - named on the reserves list for the first time this year.
- The Cowboys have, maybe surprisingly, made no changes despite their 0-3 start to the year.
Canberra Raiders
- Joseph Tapine is back from suspension. Corey Horsburgh shuffles to lock, Trey Mooney to the bench and Morgan Smithies is out with concussion.
- No other changes for the Raiders.
2025-03-29T08:35:00Z
Bulldogs WON BY 14 POINTS
Cronulla Sharks
- Siosifa Talakai failed to finish last week's game but has been named. Watch for Billy Burns to get a game if he is unable to play from the bench.
- Thomas Hazelton has also been named to return. He takes the place of the injured Braden Hamlin-Uele.
Canterbury Bulldogs
- No need to panic for the Bulldogs, and no need for change either. Same 17 this week with Joseph O'Neill the 18th man.
2025-03-30T05:05:00Z
Sea Eagles WON BY 14 POINTS
Manly Sea Eagles
- Tom Trbojevic is in for Manly in what is a major boost. Lehi Hopoate goes to the wing and Clayton Faulalo drops out.
- After seemingly being on the cusp of playing, Toafofoa Sipley has now been overlooked for the vacant role created by Taniela Paseka's Achilles injury.
- Instead, Nathan Brown joins the bench, and Josh Aloiai starts at prop alongside Siosiua Taukeiaho.
Parramatta Eels
- A little tough to work out what's happening at Parramatta, with Sean Russell and Dan Keir coming into the side.
- They replace Jordan Samrani, who was one of the blue and gold's best last week, and Sam Tuivaiti.
- The late change from last week which saw Jack Williams moves to prop will hold for another week. Joe Ofahengaue remains on the bench.
- Still no room for Ryan Matterson among other forwards.
2025-03-30T07:15:00Z
Warriors WON BY 2 POINTS
Wests Tigers
- An unchanged side for the Tigers, but that doesn't mean it's the way it'll stay.
- Jeral Skelton didn't finish the game with a hamstring injury. Solomona Faataape is his most likely replacement if needed.
- Sione Fainu could also be in some doubt. Kit Laulilii or Tony Sukkar look the obvious replacements from the reserve list.
New Zealand Warriors
- A forced change for the Warriors, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck out with a hamstring injury.
- Rocco Berry comes into the side for his first game of the year and will play at centre with Adam Pompey shuffling out to the wing.
- Te Maire Martin remains the 18th man, while there is no room again in the 17 for Jacob Laban and Bunty Afoa.
