Entering Round 8, some NRL clubs are set to receive significant boosts to their team, while others have lost key players as they look to clinch the two points.
Some big additions this week include Nathan Cleary, Dominic Young and Jai Arrow, while Kalyn Ponga, Junior Tupou and Jamal Fogarty headline the losses.
Teams will be named on Tuesday at 4pm (AEST), but here is all the latest in news and rumours.
The Canberra Raiders will have to make at least one change to their halves after Jamal Fogarty left the field with a ruptured bicep and is set to miss at least 12 weeks of footy.
Zero Tackle understands that Manly Sea Eagles recruit Kaeo Weekes will take his spot in the team partnering alongside Ethan Strange. This was first reported by The Daily Telegraph.
Skipper Elliott Whitehead (calf) and Zac Hosking (shoulder)still remain in doubt, with the recovery of their injuries being listed as indefinite, and the club has yet to provide an update on his condition.
Albert Hopoate (burns) is also available, but it could be hard seeing him replace James Schiller.
In other injury news at the club, Corey Horsburgh (groin) and Jordan Rapana (knee) won't be back until at least Round 11-13.
Projected Round 8 Team: 1. Chevy Stewart 2. James Schiller 3. Matthew Timoko 4. Sebastian Kris 5. Xavier Savage  6. Ethan Strange 7. Kaeo Weekes 8. Josh Papalii 9. Danny Levi 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Simi Sasagi  13. Morgan Smithies 14. Tom Starling 15. Ata Mariota 16. Trey Mooney 17. Pasami Saulo
The Cronulla Sharks will make at least one change, with Sione Katoa (suspension) returning and will push Samuel Stonestreet out of the team after his NRL debut last weekend.
Dale Finucane (facial injury) and Royce Hunt (calf) are also a strong chance to return.
However, it is hard to see Craig Fitzgibbon making any changes due to how dominant they have been in recent weeks.
Projected Round 8 Team: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro  5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Oregon Kaufusi 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Thomas Hazelton 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes 14.
