Melbourne vs Brisbane – Hughes Injury Crucial

Penrith Peaking, Newcastle Fading
The Panthers are starting to hit premiership form, averaging 27 points per game in their last five. Newcastle’s defence has slumped to 14th over the same stretch and with halves combinations unsettled, this could be a one-sided affair.

Raiders, Sharks & Roosters
Canberra’s Round 22 loss may have come at the right time. At home, expect them to tidy up errors and get back on track against a Manly side in freefall. Cronulla look set to continue their dominance over St. George, while the Roosters’ defence could blunt the Dolphins’ home-scoring machine.
