MELBOURNE STORM VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS – THURSDAY, MARCH, 17, 8:05PM, AAMI PARK
The match of the round is set to kick us off as the Storm will be looking to put the foot down after a flat win last week and will be more settled in the halves with the return of Cameron Munster.
The Rabbitohs will be full of confidence with the return of Latrell Mitchell.
ST GEORGE-ILLAWARRA DRAGONS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – FRIDAY, MARCH, 18, 6:00PM, NESTRATA JUBILLE STADIUM
Penrith could hardly have been more impressive in the first match of its premiership defence, overpowering Manly 28-6 with September-like intensity. Sean O’Sullivan deputised superbly for Nathan Cleary and will get another chance this week.
The first-up form of Isaah Yeo, James Fisher-Harris, Api Koroisau, Stephen Crichton and Dylan Edwards would have sent a chill through their rivals.
St George Illawarra carved out a 28-16 victory over the Warriors on the back of a powerful Mikaele Ravalawa hat-trick and Ben Hunt’s influence. But the Dragons’ erratic opponents undeniably let them off the hook and they were exposed through the middle on multiple occasions.

SYDNEY ROOSTERS VS MANLY SEA EAGLES – FRIDAY, MARCH, 18, 8:05PM, SCG
The Sea Eagles were outmuscled and outplayed by the Panthers in a 28-6 thrashing. The premiers provided the blueprint for shutting down Tom Trbojevic with relentless line speed – and the Manly offence had little else to fall back on.
The Roosters were stunned 20-6 by the unfancied Knights, taking 76 minutes to breach their tryline and failing to register a line-break. Victor Radley’s and Billy Smith’s HIA exits did not help but the Tricolours’ galaxy of stars overwhelmingly failed to fire.

GOLD COAST TITANS VS NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS – SATURDAY, MARCH, 19, 3:00PM, CBUS SUPER STADIUM
The Warriors should have put the Dragons away after Shaun Johnson piloted them into the lead following a tardy start. But with a howling wind at their back, the Warriors capitulated courtesy of some horrific errors and badly exposed left-edge defence in a 28-16 loss.
The Titans have a poor overall record against the Warriors but have won three of the teams’ last four matches at Cbus Super Stadium. Memories of a diabolical 44-0 final-round loss in an ill-tempered clash on the Gold Coast last September will be fresh for the visitors, who were torn apart by Jayden Campbell.
CRONULLA SHARKS VS PARRAMATTA EELS – SATURDAY, MARCH, 19, 5:30PM, SHARK PARK
The Eels’ attack sparkled at times with Mitch Moses firing and Reed Mahoney making a welcome, rousing return, but their defensive application was nowhere near what Brad Arthur requires.
Cronulla’s new era began in erratic fashion courtesy of a 24-19 loss in Canberra. Rookie coach Craig Fitzgibbon watched from COVID isolation as his charges rallied from 18-6 down to lead by one, only to concede a disappointing late try.
A dreadful completion rate and a pile of missed tackles underpinned the Sharks’ defeat. Meanwhile, their fifth-tackle options and execution need immediate addressing as the new Hynes-Moylan combination finds its feet. They have named an unchanged 17.

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS VS CANBERRA RAIDERS – SATURDAY, MARCH, 19, 6:35PM, QUEENSLAND COUNTRY BANK STADIUM
Canberra got out of jail against Cronulla, prevailing 24-19 after a familiar collapse courtesy of a brilliant Hudson Young try in the last five minutes. Five-eighth Jack Wighton was marvellous but seems destined to shoulder a massive load in 2022, while the Raiders lack a game manager with Jamal Fogarty sidelined.
The Cowboys have won 10 of their last 13 against the Raiders in Townsville, including a 26-24 victory in Round 7 last season in which they overturned an 18-point deficit.

NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS VS WESTS TIGERS – SUNDAY, MARCH, 20, 4:05PM, MCDONALD JONES STADIUM
The Knights produced the most stunning display of the NRL’s opening weekend, dousing the hotshot Roosters 20-6.
Underrated players who were pinpointed as the reason the Knights were set for a slide in 2022 – halves Jake Clifford and Adam Clune, the ever-versatile Kurt Mann in a new lock role, the supposedly washed-up David Klemmer – were among the team’s standouts.
Wests Tigers were on track to continue the trend of season-opening boilovers when they led the Storm 14-4 early in the second half, before being overrun late 26-16.
James Tamou returns for the Tigers with Luke Garner the player drop out of the 17, while the Knights are unchanged.

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS VS BRISBANE BRONCOS – SUNDAY, MARCH, 20, 4:05PM, ACCOR STADIUM
Brisbane had its thunder stolen by Newcastle somewhat, but the Broncos were gallant in rolling Souths 11-4 on Friday night. Patrick Carrigan and Payne Haas were immense, the Broncos’ exciting young backline was unlucky not to pile on more points and their goal-line defence was integral to the win.
And they did it without skipper and linchpin Adam Reynolds, who will make his club debut this week. Albert Kelly ousts Billy Walters for the five-eighth role and it looks to be a good halves balance. Walters is on the bench, while Tesi Niu returns from injury at fullback Jamayne Isaako’s expense.
The teams’ last 10 matches were won by the home team (including the last five by margins of 14 or more). The Broncos carved out a 24-0 win at Suncorp Stadium in Round 3 last year but they are on a four-game losing streak against the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium (formerly ANZ Stadium).
