CANBERRA RAIDERS VS CANTERBURY BULLDOGS –Â FRIDAY MAY 6, 6:00PM, GIO STADIUM
The Raiders play host to the Bulldogs at GIO Stadium on Friday night in clash between two clubs who will be desperate to get their season’s back on track for different reasons.
The struggling Warriors practically begged to be put away, yet the Raiders were held scoreless in the second half by a team that conceded 54 after the break five days earlier.
Canterbury also comes in with a 2-6 record, but the Bulldogs are buoyed by one of the season’s biggest boilovers – a 16-12 win over the star-studded Roosters – that ended a six-match losing streak in Round 8.
Canberra’s on a five-match winning streak against Canterbury, though the margin in three of those clashes with four points or less.
The Raiders snatched a 20-18 comeback win in Magic Round last year despite having Josh Papalii sent off while Wighton was in the sin-bin midway through the second half.

PENRITH PANTHERS VS PARRAMATTA EELS –Â FRIDAY MAY 6, 7:55PM, PANTHERS STADIUM
Penrith and Parramatta clash at BlueBet Stadium for the annual Battle of the West with the defending premiers looking to make it 22 straight at the venue and nine wins to start the year.
This week the Panthers face a team with a winning record for the first time since their Round 3 defeat of a 12-man Newcastle.
But Parramatta is coming off a low base courtesy of a pancake-flat 35-4 loss to North Queensland in Darwin last week.
Penrith has won eight of the last 11 derbies against Parramatta – including the last four straight. But their most recent clash was a dramatic, gruelling semi-final, with the Panthers hanging on for an 8-6 win in Mackay.

MANLY SEA EAGLES VS WESTS TIGERS –Â SATURDAY MAY 7, 3:00PM, 4 PINES PARK
The Sea Eagles return to 4 Pines Park on Saturday after two weeks on the road and will be desperate to get back in the winner’s circle against a Wests Tigers side on the rise.
Positive signs for the Sea Eagles with Tom Trbojevic, Haumole Olakau’atu and Josh Aloiai returning, Ben Trbojevic is named at centre and Reuben Garrick shifts to the wing.
The Tigers have been hit with a double injury blow, though, with Luciano Leilua and David Nofoaluma – two of their stronger performers – ruled out.
After losing five of the teams’ previous six encounters, Manly carved out a pair of big wins over Wests Tigers in 2021 – 40-6 in Round 7 and 44-24 in Round 19, Daly Cherry-Evans scored two tries in both matches.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS VS GOLD COAST TITANS –Â SATURDAY MAY 7, 5:30PM, BB PRINT STADIUM
After a 4-4 start to the season, the Tricolours will want to find their groove soon if they’re going to challenge for the title this year with Trent Robinson’s side reeling after a shock loss to the Bulldogs last week.
The 2-6 Gold Coast Titans have scored just eight points in the past two rounds, but their 18-4 loss to pace-setting Penrith was a marked improvement on their 30-4 rout at the hands of North Queensland six days earlier.
In another 2021 finals rematch, Sydney Roosters and Gold Coast Titans square off for the first time since their astonishing week one rollercoaster in Townsville – won 25-24 by the Tricolours.
It was the Roosters’ eighth straight win over the Titans…and the second of the season decided by a Sam Walker field goal.

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS VS NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS –Â SATURDAY MAY 7, 7:35PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM
The Cowboys return home to Queensland Country Bank Stadium having strung three wins in a row and will fancy their chances against a Knights outfit who haven’t scored a try in two games.
The Cowboys’ defence is the second-best in the comp (12.1 points conceded per game) and now they’re starting too pile on a few points with the ball in hand.
The embattled Knights have managed just a pair of penalty goals in heavy losses to the Eels and Storm over the past fortnight, while leaking 89 points.
The Knights have conceded more points than any team in the NRL, while only the Bulldogs have scored less.
The teams’ last eight encounters were won by the home team, with Newcastle last winning in Townsville in 2015 – a season where the Cowboys won the comp and the Knights collected the spoon.
- Â 2 units Cowboys -14.5 @ $2.00 BET NOW
MELBOURNE STORM VS ST GEORGE-ILLAWARRA DRAGONS –Â SUNDAY MAY 8, 2:00PM, AAMI PARK
The Storm head home to Melbourne’s AAMI Park coming off two massive wins and looking to end St George Illawarra’s recent winning run with another dominant performance.
The 7-1 Storm have completely dismantled their opposition in recent weeks, averaging an NRL-high (by a mile) 36.6 points per game and outscoring the Warriors and Knights 120-12 in the past two weeks.
The Saints have come out on top in three consecutive cliff-hangers against the Knights (21-16), Roosters (14-12) and Tigers (12-6).
The Saints have managed two upset wins in their last five encounters with the Storm, but they have lost their last 15 games in Melbourne.

CRONULLA SHARKS VS NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS –Â SUNDAY MAY 8, 4:05PM, SHARK PARK
Cronulla return home to PointsBet Stadium on Sunday afternoon looking to bounce back after a shock loss to Brisbane in round eight.
Their opponents, the Warriors, did exactly that last start with a field goal in golden point to Shaun Johnson turning around a 60-point loss a week earlier.
The Sharks have won eight of their last 10 against the Warriors, though Johnson was the architect of a their recent four-match-winning run in the rivalry.
