There have been some major changes across the board for sides heading into Indigenous Round with a number of stars returning to the fold, while a few clubs also deal with mounting injury lists.
Manly have been hit with multiple injuries this week with the likes of Josh Aloiai and Kelma Tuilagi ruled out, however they also have been boosted with the return of some big names.
Zac Lomax and Jacob Liddle both helped the Dragons to a win in reserve grade and have been rewarded with recalls by the club's interim coach following Anthony Griffin's departure.
Meanwhile, Parramatta halfback Mitch Moses is back on deck for a must-win clash, but the Broncos will have to do without their inspirational No.7, Adam Reynolds, who has been ruled out.
Here's all the mail for Round 12.
