MELBOURNE STORM VS MANLY SEA EAGLES – FRIDAY 10 SEPTEMBER, 7:50PM, SUNSHINE COAST STADIUM

This looks set to be the game of the round with two of the most dynamic fullbacks in the competition will do battle to prove who is the number one fullback.

Melbourne were able to rest a number of players last week which is sure to pay off in such an important game.

Melbourne walked away 28-18 victors against Manly in Round 21 and has won all nine of their games played at this venue, but that won’t worry a Manly side that locked up a top four spot last week with a stunning 56-10 win over the Eels.

Manly will have to show some more discipline if they’re to beat the Storm here.  This will be close.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS VS GOLD COAST TITANS – SATURDAY 11 SEPTEMBER, 5:40PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM

The Titans could not have been more impressive in their shutout against the Warriors last week but will have to step it up a notch to beat the Roosters here.

Sydney have struggled with injuries this season and at times it has seen them punished through the season but with Waerea-Hargreaves & Radley set to rejoin the team it is likely we will see glimpses of the great footy the Roosters are capable of.


PENRITH PANTHERS VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS – SATURDAY 11 SEPTEMBER, 7:50PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM

The Panthers have had South Sydney’s measure in recent times as they will look to make it six wins on the trot this weekend.

Ivan Cleary’s side has dismantled the Rabbitohs in their previous two meetings this season, the most recent coming only three weeks ago in a comfortable 25-12 win at Suncorp.

South Sydney will have to pull out something special if they’re going to be competitive here.

PARRAMATTA EELS VS NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS – SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER, 4:05PM, BROWNE PARK

This shapes as one of the most difficult games to pick this week as both teams are capable of great footy but consistency is not in their make up.

The additions of Kalyn Ponga and Bradman Best has made an enormous difference to the Newcastle attack over the last month, and it appears more reinforcements are coming with David Klemmer and Daniel Saifiti both a chance at playing this week.

The Eels also have some top names returning themselves in the form of Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Clint Gutherson – two welcome additions on the back of last week’s disappointment.
