Magic Round features the Sharks vs Eels, with key player updates and the Knights seeking to end their losing streak.

Magic Round is set to electrify the NRL as the Sharks prepare to clash with the Eels. Braden Hamlin-Uele is on track to make his return, marking his first NRL game since Round 3, while KL Iro is also back from a hamstring injury, adding depth to the Sharks` lineup.

In contrast, the Warriors face a setback as Jacab Laban will miss the match due to concussion protocols, with Te Maire Martin stepping in to fill the gap. The Newcastle Knights, currently on a five-game losing streak, are desperate to turn their season around against South Sydney, aiming for a much-needed victory.

Despite a rocky start with only two wins, the Penrith Panthers remain in contention for State of Origin selections, showcasing the competitive nature of the league. However, the NRL has faced scrutiny over its stop-start refereeing and interventions from officials, which have disrupted the flow of the game.

Ryley Smith, a promising talent for the Parramatta Eels, has been highlighted for his inspiring journey to the NRL, showcasing the league`s commitment to nurturing young players. For more updates, visit NRL and NRL News.
