NEWS Regional rugby league columnist Tony Durkin gives a preview of the upcoming round.
BRONCOS V SHARKS
At the Suncorp Stadium, Thursday, 7:50 pm
Played: 54 Broncos 34, Sharks 20.
Last log in: Broncos 20-16, tower 15, 2018
Ladbrokes Odds: Broncos $ 1.80 Sharks $ 2.05
Five weeks ago, Corey Oates scored a miraculous try late to allow the Broncos to win a victory against the Sharks – the third in a row against the 2016 Premiers.
And while the Broncos have a 12-4 record against the Sharks at Suncorp, they will have to repeat something similar to the brilliant form of last week to keep visitors away.
This clash brings together the hard heads of the Sharks pack against the Broncos youth, and forms a real contest of final quality that should take place until the end.
COUNCIL – Broncos
BULLDOGS V TIGERS
At ANZ Stadium, Friday, 8:55 pm [19659003] Played : 33: Bulldogs 20, Tigers 13.
Last place: Tigers 14-10, turn 12, 2018.
Ladbrokes Odds: Tigers $ 1.45 Bulldogs $ 2.85
With the snorting of a final berth in the nostrils and after two successive victories against the Premiership hotshots, the Rabbitohs and the Dragons, the Tigers will not let this opportunity slide against the Bulldogs. The former firm of Farah and Marshall have apparently inspired the Tigers to find the form that has allowed them to win six of their first seven games to start the season, but they must continue to win to be a chance away from the finals .
COUNCIL – Tigers
Trent Merrin will seek to improve after failing to impress Dave Hunt
EAGLES V PANTHERS
In Lottoland, Saturday, 3 pm
Played: 87: Sea Eagles 52, Panthers 34, shot 1.
Last meet: Sea Eagles 18-10, 16th round, 2018.
Ladbrokes Odds: Panthers $ 1.50 Sea Eagles $ 2.70
If the Sea Eagles had not been badped last weekend, this would be considered a real danger game for the Panthers, who have lost four of their last five games. The Panthers won just 12 of 42 visits to Brookvale and despite the mediocre form of the Sea Eagles, and their low position on the table, it still looms as a season-defining clash for men sliding down Penrith's ladder.
COUNCIL – Panthers
RABBITOHS V EELS
ANZ stadium, Saturday, 5:30 pm
Played: 125: Rabbitohs 68, Eels 54, drawn 3.
last connection: Rabbitohs 42-24, turn 15, 2018.
Ladbrokes Odds: Rabbitohs $ 1.25 Eels $ 4.20
NEXT nine successive victories, the Rabbitohs fell last Saturday and, ironically, the Eels scored just their fourth win of the season. But no matter what this weekend, expect the Rabbitohs to make a rampage by scoring against the wooden schooners who concede an average of 22 points per game. The greatest interest will still be on the shape of the Burgess brothers.
COUNCIL – Rabbitohs
STORM V RAIDERS
At AAMI Park, Saturday, 7:35 pm
Played: 40: Storm 29, Raiders 11
. Last encounter: Storm 32-6, turn 26, 2017.
Ladbrokes Odds: Storm $ 1.33 Raiders $ 3.45
SURPRISE, surprise, the competition is coming to an end and, without stories or fanfare, the Storm are sitting at the top of the Premiership ladder. Methodical, professional, calm and calculating, Cameron Smith and his men miss very few opportunities and rarely make monumental mistakes. In contrast, the Raiders, although unlucky last weekend, can apparently still find a way to lose. The storm has won 29 of the previous 40 games between clubs and will add one more to the big book after the win.
COUNCIL – Storm
Blake Green is a big one for the Warriors. 19659018] Lukas Coch
TITANS V WARRIORS
At Cbus Super Stadium, Sunday, 2:00 pm
Played: 23: Warriors 16, Titans 7.
Last log in: Warriors 20-8, turn 2, 2018.
Ladbrokes Odds: Warriors $ 1.50 Titans $ 2.70
After a crash, then a big victory, the erratic warriors clashed at a showdown with the Storm last weekend and on the back of this admirable loss, and the return of Blake Green should explain the Titans equally unpredictable. Clinging to eighth place and facing the Dragons next week, the Warriors have to make it a bird of this team that they have beaten seven times in the last eight meetings.
TUYAU – Warriors
COQS V DRAGONS
At the Allianz Stadium, Sunday, 4:10 pm
Played: 38: Dragons 20, Roosters 17, shot 1.
last connection: Dragons 24-8, turn 8, 2018.
Ladbrokes Odds: Roosters $ 1.63 Dragons $ 2.30
The best of Retro Round was left at the end: two against four in a blockbuster Sunday afternoon. The two impressive winners of the last round after a recent indifferent form, Roosters' improvement could skip a ladder on the scale with an anticipated victory. The original Dragons pack will test the Roosters at the front, but with a reasonable share of possession, the Tricolores could have too much clbad and speed in the back outside. The eventual late inclusion of Dylan Napa could be huge for Roosters.
TIP – Roosters
