The NRL is a constantly evolving landscape of teams changing through injuries, players being signed, players being released, and youngsters breaking through.
New coaches, new talents, and varying form also have a significant say in who is and who isn't in the best 17.
Zero Tackle have run the rule over what every team looked like at the end of 2024 against what it looks like at the end of 2025 to determine where the changes, improvements, and failures are.
South Sydney Rabbitohs
The Rabbitohs have plenty of changes from last year, owing predominantly to injuries.
Latrell Mitchell is still out, meaning Jye Gray is the fullback, while Ashton Ward is the current five-eighth, but would likely lose his spot back to Cody Walker next year.
Jamie Humphreys has come in at halfback following his move from Manly, while Thomas Burgess and Damien Cook are no longer at the club.
Keaon Koloamatangi has become a prop, while Sean Keppie and Lachlan Hubner round out the middle third this weekend, with Jai Arrow and Tallis Duncan in the second-row.
Off the bench, Cody Walker and Cameron Murray are named, with Murray to play his first game of the year, while off-season recruit Euan Aitken can only grab a spot at 18th man.
