Round 17 of the 2025 NRL season promises exciting matches as it marks the final full weekend of rugby league during the State of Origin period.
With eight games scheduled, fans can expect several intriguing contests.
The Raiders, who have shown improved form in recent weeks, will be a team to watch.
Despite an inconsistent victory over the Wests Tigers last weekend, they aim to capitalize on their current momentum.
Their upcoming match against the Knights presents a significant opportunity to score, especially given the Knights' defensive weaknesses.
The arrival of Dominic Young, who recently rejoined the Knights after being released by the Roosters, adds another layer to the match's dynamics.
Young's debut last weekend highlighted his previous struggles with ball handling and defense, which could further affect the Knights' defensive edges.
As teams gear up for this pivotal round, several players are expected to emerge as try-scoring threats, ready to make their mark on the games.
