The upcoming ANZAC Day clashes promise thrilling encounters as teams fight for different causes. The Roosters face a must-win game against the resurgent Dragons, while the Warriors and Titans engage in a crucial battle for playoff positioning. Meanwhile, the Storm and Rabbitohs, despite their high ladder positions, face challenges in their respective matches.
The Knights are facing a fullback crisis after Kalyn Ponga suffered a season-ending foot injury. Exciting rookie Thomas Armstrong and veteran Enari Tuala are the two options being considered to replace Ponga. Brad Arthur is reportedly set to make a shock change to the Eels’ spine by moving Clint Gutherson to five-eighth to ease the load on his injured knees. The Rabbitohs are set to recall Damien Cook after he was axed from the starting side last week. Meanwhile, both the Roosters and Broncos will enjoy the return of several key players ahead of Round 8.
