Yes, all eyes will be on State of Origin Game II this week, but after the dust settles on that interstate showdown, there’s a round of club footy to be played.

NRL Round 16 will run in a reduced capacity due to Origin, with three teams having a bye this week instead of one.

Still, for the rest of the teams taking the field in Round 16, they’re likely to be without a megastar or two, meaning this week’s team lists are worth checking out to see who will and won’t feature.

So, whether you’re looking to update your fantasy team, craft a multi, or preparing for your work tipping comp, a bit of inside info on potential personnel never goes astray.

In the hopes of providing a sneak peek to punters, we’ve put together a predicted lineup for all 16 teams featuring this week. Check out our NRL Round 16 predicted teams below.
