With half the competition enjoying the bye this weekend, there'll be just four games across the round to feast our eyes on.
Plus, with Origin Game III on Wednesday week, many teams will be decimated by players being away in camp.
With injuries and suspensions also thrown in the mix, there are set to be mass changes named come Tuesday afternoon.
Here's how each side will line up for round 17.
