NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS VS CRONULLA SHARKS – FRIDAY JULY 15, 6:00PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM

North Queensland host the Sharks on Friday night at Queensland Country Bank Stadium looking to break a seven-game losing streak against the visitors that stretches back to 2018.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS VS ST GEORGE-ILLAWARRA DRAGONS – SATURDAY JULY 16, 3:00PM, CENTRAL COAST STADIUM

The Tricolours haven’t been so low on the ladder at this time of the year since their 15th-place finish in 2016, meaning we’ll have to see something special from Trent Robinson’s men to get back into premiership contention.

The Dragons will be looking to channel their gritty, Ben Hunt-inspired 14-12 upset of the Tricolours in Round 7. The Anzac Day result snapped a seven-match losing streak against the Roosters for the Saints.

MANLY SEA EAGLES VS NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS – SATURDAY JULY 16, 5:30PM, 4 PINES PARK

The Sea Eagles return to 4 Pines Park for a third consecutive match on Saturday night looking to get back into the top eight when they host arch-rivals Newcastle.

The Knights have won two of their last three at Brookvale and five of their last eight against the Sea Eagles overall. But a DCE masterclass underpinned a convincing 30-6 Manly victory in Newcastle in Round 5.

GOLD COAST TITANS VS BRISBANE BRONCOS – SATURDAY JULY 16, 7:35PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM

The Broncos have all but assured themselves of a finals berth for the first time in three years and could even climb into the top four this weekend with a big win.

[youtube-feed feed=1]

The last four derbies have gone the way of the home side, with the Titans grabbing 12-point wins at Cbus Super Stadium in 2020 and ’21. Navigating a stint without Reynolds, the Broncos recovered from a 20-point deficit to beat the Titans 35-24 in Round 12 with Carrigan and Cobbo on fire.

WESTS TIGERS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – SUNDAY JULY 17, 2:00PM, COMMBANK STADIUM

No fewer than seven of Ivan Cleary’s men are part of the Blues squad for the series decider, so the Panthers mentor could be weighing up the possibility of resting players with eight rounds to go in the regular season.


MELBOURNE STORM VS CANBERRA RAIDERS – SUNDAY JULY 17, 4:05PM, AAMI PARK

Consecutive losses to Manly and Cronulla have set the Storm back on their heels but they’ll be hoping a return to home soil can spark a turnaround on Sunday.

After the Raiders’ three-match purple patch in the rivalry in 2019-20, the Storm have won the last five straight between the clubs by an average margin of 14.8 points. Jahrome Hughes, Ryan Papenhuyzen and Munster lit up Wagga Wagga in a 30-16 win over Canberra in Round 5.

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS – SUNDAY JULY 17, 6:15PM, ACCOR STADIUM

After giving the Panthers a run for their money in round 13 the Bulldogs stunned the Eels in round 14 and beat the Tigers the following week before going toe to toe with the Sharks in atrocious conditions at CommBank Stadium in a creditable 12-point loss.

The Bulldogs have won just two of their last 10 against the Bunnies and have conceding 106 points in losing the last three straight. Cook scored a hat-trick and Johnston bagged a double in a 36-16 Good Friday win earlier this season.
