State of Origin and COVID breaches are set to have a major impact heading into this weekend's games, with a host of players likely to be sidelined.

Dragons coach Anthony Griffin will be tasked with managing 12 players' one-game bans for their breach of protocols over the next four weeks, with the NRL allowing the club to split them up.

Jai Arrow won't be available after his own breach during Queensland Maroons camp, while a host of players will have to get through the Origin clash unscathed in order to back up.

In some more positive news, Parramatta and Manly are both set to welcome back some of their key players. 

All clubs from NSW have been moved up to Queensland due to COVID dramas in Sydney, which could also throw a spanner in the works. 

Here's how each NRL side will line up in round 18.
