This is the most interesting round for years, would be advisable to bet day by day,panthers should win,looking to hold a top 4 spot with A.ROBERTS,R.GIRDLER,F. PRITCHARD back, and the broncos already got 3rd wrapped up and rumours that a few players might be rested,still no LOCKYER ,FRAWLEY and maybe no WEBKE, but BERRIGAN is back.

Both the knight and tigers WILL be trying in this game,for the ALLAN MACMAHON shield[BALMAIN great, KNIGHTS 1st coach]Tigers wanting 8th spot and knights last home game sending off B.KENNEDY, R.O'DAVIS,M PARSONS and T.TAHU.

If the tigers win the previous game i wonder if the sharks will try ?,the cowboys get back K.CAMPION and maybe M.SING and G.MORRISON

Both souths and raiders will be trying, the raiders, if w/tigers lose, can get 8th spot,while souths are trying to avoid the wooden spoon The raiders get back A.MOGG,R.WIKI and T.SMITH while souths lose L.HOOKEY.

Even if souths win or lose the warriors will be out to smash the bulldogs [ like they did against the roosters],trying to avoid the wooden spoon,Warriors get back C.TOOPI,B.WEBB,R.VILLISANTI and the bulldogs get back C.HUGHES and S.BILL WILLIAMS.

The storm can finish 4th if the knights win by 50pts,highley unlikely,will probably finish 5th or 6th, might rest some players while manly only playing for pride.

The roosters can rest a few play also if the bulldogs get beaten aerlier in the day,winning the minor premiership ricky stuart could change the line up. Roosters get back C.FITZGIBBONS,while the eels get back J.LANGI and lose C.STAPLETON.
