Rabbitohs confirm lineup changes while Panthers struggle at the bottom, with May leading MVP rankings amid officiating criticism.

South Sydney Rabbitohs have confirmed Jye Gray will take the fullback position, with Bayleigh Bentley-Hape on the wing and Euan Aitken at centre for Round 9. This strategic shift aims to bolster their performance as they continue to chase a strong season.

Meanwhile, the Penrith Panthers are facing a challenging season, currently sitting at the bottom of the ladder with only two wins after eight rounds. Their hopes for a historic fifth consecutive premiership are in jeopardy, raising questions about their future performance and strategy.

In individual accolades, Terrell May has extended his lead in the Zero Tackle NRL MVP rankings following another standout performance. Teammates Payne Haas, Hudson Young, and James Tedesco are also maintaining strong form, contributing to their teams` efforts as the season progresses.

However, the NRL officiating has come under scrutiny, particularly after Round 8, with excessive stoppages and video referee interventions disrupting the flow of gameplay. This has sparked discussions among fans and analysts alike regarding the need for potential changes in officiating protocols.

Additionally, Fletch & Hindy’s "Alternate Kayo Call" commentary is set to debut during Magic Round, promising a revolutionary approach to sports broadcasting that could change how fans engage with the game.
