FRIDAY Sharks (4) V Panthers (5) – Allianz Stadium – 21.40NZT
These two sides meet for the third and final time this season.
The big off season swap of Maloney and Moylan, these two have done wonders all season for their respective teams.
The Sharks lose a lot with Wade Graham ruled out with an ACL injury, but still have plenty of attacking flair on the left edge.
Penrith are a side that are never down and out, so the Sharks know this is another one of those arm wrestle matches.
Cronulla’s experience will pay dividends in this match.
TIP: Sharks by 10.
SATURDAY Rabbitohs (3) V Dragons (7) – ANZ Stadium – 21.40NZT
After losing a thriller, the Rabbitohs backs are against the wall.
The Dragons featured in one of the biggest boil overs in NRL Finals history last week as they marched to Brisbane and decimated the Broncos.
The Rabbitohs will absolutely be wary of what can happen on the day. 80 minutes separates there two teams from a semi final berth.
Saint George lose Gareth Widdop which is going to be hard, however they showed what they’re capable of, regardless of who is on the field.
Souths love to command the ruck. There’s a lot of pace in their attack. That’s how they can win.
TIP: Rabbitohs by 6.
