SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD Growing in confidence after a rocky start to life under coach Todd Payten, the 2014 R7 Manly 26-21 Central Coast 10,013 North Queensland Cowboys will be hoping a key change at halfback doesn’t halt 2014 R26 North Qld 30-16 1300Smiles 22,521 their momentum. 2015 R12 North Qld 18-14 1300Smiles 14,196 2015 R19 North Qld 30-12 Lottoland 7,643 Naming Tom Dearden for his club debut after Jake Clifford was granted an early 2016 R9 North Qld 34-18 Lottoland 11,734 release to join the Knights, the one-time Brisbane wunderkind will be hoping a 2016 R16 North Qld 30-26 1300Smiles 15,854 change in scenery helps to unearth the talent that saw the Broncos tout him as 2017 R3 Manly 30-8 1300Smiles 14,763 their long-term playmaker only two years ago. 2018 R13 North Qld 26-12 Lottoland 6,172 2019 R13 Manly 22-20 1300Smiles 13,314 Holding an eerily similar form line to their opponents with six wins from their 2020 R11 Manly 24-12 QLD Country Bank 7,127 past eight matches, the Cowboys will be out to extend a surprisingly strong record of five wins from their past six visits to Lottoland.

MILESTONES Who to watch: The term ‘revelation’ is often overused to describe improving PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... players, but in the case of Jason Saab the description is aptly fitting.

Match stats courtesy of Forming a potent combination alongside Morgan Harper on the right edge, look for Saab to relish his personal battle opposite Murray Taulagi as the Sea Eagles look to consolidate a place in the top eight.

Earmarked as the man to return Brisbane to former glory as a teenager, Tom Dearden will be hoping for more measured expectations in his second coming as a first-grader. Managing 22 appearances for the Broncos having debuted just weeks after legally becoming an adult in 2019, the 20-year-old Mackay junior will be looking to regain his footing in the top grade after spending the past six weeks plying his trade in reserve grade. Possessing an underutilised running game and the ability to force repeat sets with the boot, expect Dearden to grow in confidence as spends more time with his new teammates.

WATCH & 9Now, Fox League & Kayo Sports Having looked unstoppable for so much of this season, Penrith were exposed LISTEN ABC, 2GB, 4BC without its Origin stars last week and Cronulla will take confidence from the LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com Tigers’ 26-6 victory.

The Sharks head into Friday’s contest in stellar form having disposed of the Titans MATCH OFFICIALS 38-10 before the bye. REFEREE Ashley KLEIN While Penrith have major question marks over their fill-in halves, Shaun Johnson TOUCH JUDGES Dave MUNRO and Matt Moylan combined for their best performances of 2021 against the Gold Jon STONE Coast. The attack was crisp and executed to perfection – giving the outside backs NRL BUNKER Henry PERENARA early ball when needed or otherwise playing direct and through the middle when better suited.

Cronulla was embarrassed 48-0 by Penrith earlier this season and revenge will Match Stats be on the cards when they face off again, this time with the Sharks eyeing a mid- HEAD TO HEAD: 96 MATCHES season revival. With no Origin representatives this period shapes as Cronulla’s best chance CRONULLA 51-42 (3 DRAWS) to push up the ladder. Unlike Cronulla, Penrith has been hit hard by Origin with At Netstrata Jubilee Stadium: 1 match, Penrith 1-0 seven players selected and Apisai Koroisau the only one certain to back up after being selected as 18th man for the Blues. Otherwise, all six others (Nathan Cleary, Jarome Luai, Brian To’o, Liam Martin, Isaah Yeo and Kurt Capewell) have been LAST TEN: CRONULLA 6-4 named on an extended bench. SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD 2016 R18 Cronulla 26-10 BlueBet Stadium 12,682 Panthers fans will be hopeful one of Cleary and Luai play after an unconvincing 2017 R7 Cronulla 28-2 BlueBet Stadium 15,780 first outing from new pairing Matt Burton and Tyrone May. The latter was the 2018 R7 Cronulla 26-22 Sharks Stadium 12,677 more dominant playmaker, at least in the opening half, but lacked the tempo and 2018 R18 Cronulla 24-12 BlueBet Stadium 11,742 variety in attack that had made Cleary the competition’s best halfback.

Who to watch: Matt Moylan’s last game against the Panthers did not go as planned, MILESTONES exposed in defence by Liam Martin as the Sharks fell to a 38-12 defeat. Before that PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... Moylan had often been the one having the last laugh against his former teammates. Jesse Ramien (CRO) 100 career points 8 points The ex-Panther was 18th man in the earlier meeting between the two teams (CRO) 100 club points 4 points this season. Now though he shapes as Cronulla’s likely halves partner for Nicho Matt Moylan (CRO) 200 career points 10 points Hynes next year and instead of being on the outer is getting back to full fitness and Sione Katoa (CRO) 100 club & career points 2 points thriving. Moylan was taking on the line with confidence against the Gold Coast Cronulla (since 1967) 4100 goals 5 goals a fortnight ago and has the attacking spark Penrith was craving last week with Brian To'o (PEN) 100 club & career points 8 points Cleary and Luai on Origin duty. While Burton and May’s performances warranted criticism last round, there is also Match stats courtesy of something to be said about Viliame Kikau’s inability to step up when the Panthers needed him most. In his defence, Penrith are overly-reliant on Kikau when looking for a back-up plan in attack. There is a reason for that though and at the moment Kikau just does not seem to take the ball up with the ferocity and intensity that a man of his size and skill should. If Penrith’s Origin stars fail to back up again it will need Kikau to really stand tall and actually go after the ball instead of waiting for Burton to spread it his way. Burton himself will also need to better utilise Kikau, NEXT THREE: CRONULLA-SUTHERLAND getting him running against the grain like Cleary does or using him as a decoy to AWAY R15 NORTH QLD QLD C.B. give early ball to Stephen Crichton. R16 BRISBANE AWAY SUNCORP R17 WARRIORS HOME NETSTRATA Favourite: Despite last week’s loss the Panthers are favoured to win this one.

Souths, whilst sitting in third on the ladder, have looked shaky at times having conceded LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com 50 points or more twice already this season. South Sydney need to win these sorts of games against lower-ranked sides to stay in touch with the “big two” this year and prove that they still have what it takes to go all the way. MATCH OFFICIALS REFEREE Chris BUTLER The Knights season could be on the line on Saturday. They are only two points TOUCH JUDGES Ziggy PRZEKLASA-ADAMSKI outside of the top eight as it currently stands, but they have looked very Mark BOHAN lacklustre so far this year. They’re also coming off the back of a thumping at the NRL BUNKER Steve CHIDDY hands of the last week on Old Boys Day. The fact that the team couldn’t get up for the occasion highlights serious concerns for the Knights and they need to at least put up a good fight against the Rabbitohs this week, or it could be panic stations. Match Stats South Sydney are coming off the bye last round, but coach Wayne Bennett has HEAD TO HEAD: 44 MATCHES made changes to the side that defeated the Eels 38-20 in round 12. Origin stars Dane Gagai and Jai Arrow will not be backing up from the game on Wednesday NEWCASTLE 27-17 (no draws) night. Braidon Burns comes in at centre and Mark Nicholls will move to prop, At Stadium Australia: 7 matches, South Sydney 5-2 after starting at lock last time out. Cameron Murray moves to lock and Jacob Host will be promoted from the bench to a starting position in the second- LAST TEN: SOUTH SYDNEY 8-2 row. Origin back-rower Jaydn Su’a has been recalled to the bench after being SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD dropped from the team for the game against Parramatta. 2013 R12 Souths 25-18 Stadium Australia 13,225 2014 R21 Souths 50-10 11,570 The changes for the Knights start with Starford To’a out, which sees Enari Tuala 2015 R20 Souths 52-6 Stadium Australia 14,603 move to the wing from the centres. Kurt Mann will move into the centres to fill 2016 R2 Souths 48-6 Stadium Australia 13,364 the vacancy. A new look halves pairing of Jake Clifford and Phoenix Crossland have been picked to guide the team around the park. Daniel Saifiti will be a 2016 R25 Souths 34-12 McDonald Jones 15,212 welcomed return in the front-row, backing up from origin, after his side were 2017 R3 Souths 24-18 McDonald Jones 15,212 completely dominated in the middle last week. Suaso Sue drops back to the 2018 R9 Souths 36-18 McDonald Jones 22,718 bench, with Matt Croker going back to the reserves to round out the changes. 2019 R13 Newcastle 20-12 Stadium Australia 8,253 2020 R10 Newcastle 20-18 Bankwest Stadium 4,249 Who to watch: With a very young and unexperienced halves pairing, either one 2020 FN Souths 46-20 Stadium Australia 17,212 of the Rabbitohs second-rowers could have a field day running at them. Keaon Kolomatangi is a big body who will be extremely hard to stop close to the line, so look for the Rabbitohs to give him a lot of ball in that area of the field to get over BIGGEST WINS the top of the much smaller bodies opposing him. 1999 R23 Newcastle 60-0 McDonald Jones 21,820

2015 R20 Souths 52-6 Stadium Australia 14,603 Backing up from origin, Daniel Saifiti simply has to turn up and put in a big performance for his club side this week. Against a front-row pairing of Mark MILESTONES Nicholls and Tavita Tatola, the Knights enforcer certainly has an opportunity to PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... get his team on the front foot. He will need to do so if his side are any chance at a Damien Cook (SOU) 100 career points 6 points surprise win on Saturday night. Tautau Moga (SOU) 100 career points 8 points Favourite: Souths are heavy favourites to win this clash against two teams on South Sydney (since 1908) 38000 points 35 points the opposite end of the ladder. Hymel Hunt (NEW) 50 club games 1 game Kalyn Ponga (NEW) 400 career points 2 points My tip: South Sydney are coming off the bye, look better on paper and are at 400 club points 14 points home. Seemingly, they have everything going their way to win this game. The Kurt Mann (NEW) 50 club games 1 game Knights, you would think, have to be desperate to get the win and a rude shock Mitch Barnett (NEW) 100 club & career points 4 points could catch South Sydney out if the Knights can stand their ground against them. Still, in recent weeks there hasn’t been a lot of desperation shown by Match stats courtesy of the Knights and it’s hard to see them suddenly turning it around. South Sydney should simply be too good for the Knights to handle. South Sydney by 14.

Back when the Raiders and Broncos dominated, Stuart would go on to finish with three titles in LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com the lime green, while Walters returned home to win another five as a Bronco.

Now at the polar opposite of the halcyon days, the 13th placed Raiders host the MATCH OFFICIALS 15th ranked Broncos in what promise to be icy conditions this Saturday.

RAYMONDWyatt NRL BUNKER Matt NOYEN It was only three weeks ago when Walters sparked a Brisbane revival. But the forward punch that rolled the Roosters in the season’s biggest upset vanished quicker than it appeared.

Match Stats Last week’s 52-24 humiliation to St George Illawarra in the absence of Origin stars Xavier Coates and Payne Haas saw a return of old habits. A six-point lead HEAD TO HEAD: 52 MATCHES nearing the break quickly became a halftime deficit that rapidly escalated into BRISBANE 30-21 (1 DRAWS) 34 unanswered points. At GIO Stadium Canberra: 26 matches, Canberra 14-11 (1 draw) The return of Karmichael Hunt for the first time since 2009 could lift the Broncos’ spirits, but with Canberra’s Josh Papalii back from suspension, the LAST TEN: BRISBANE 6-4 best of Matthew Lodge and Tom Flegler will be a non-negotiable for Brisbane to SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD be a serious threat. 2012 R22 Canberra 28-12 GIO Stadium 9,850 2013 R13 Canberra 30-18 GIO Stadium 10,419 But if the Broncos need anything, it’s confidence. And if Walters stumbles 2014 R13 Brisbane 28-4 GIO Stadium 8,094 across some, then Stuart should join the same queue. If not for a narrow escape 2015 R12 Brisbane 24-12 GIO Stadium 10,090 against the last placed Bulldogs during Magic Round, the Raiders would have dropped eight straight. 2016 R14 Brisbane 26-18 Suncorp Stadium 25,021 2017 R4 Brisbane 13-12 Suncorp Stadium 29,370 Talk of disharmony and uncertainty among the playing group has eroded the 2017 R16 Brisbane 30-20 GIO Stadium 15,652 club’s tenacity.

VENUE Central Coast Stadium, Gosford NSW WATCH Fox League & Kayo Sports A well-used Central Coast Stadium (playing host to an A-League soccer final LISTEN ABC, 2GB, 4BC just 18 hours prior to Sunday's contest) hosts Sunday's contest between the Warriors and Melbourne, and to be honest - who knows what to make of this LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com one so far out from kickoff?

At the time of writing this preview - before Origin I - the Warriors of course MATCH OFFICIALS were unaffected by any missing players and so will be largely able to go into REFEREE this game settled. The only question hanging over their 21 man squad that was TOUCH JUDGES Darian FURNER named this week will be whether Addin Fonua-Blake - named in the reserves - Jon STONE will make it back into the lineup on game day. All that remains to ponder after NRL BUNKER Alan SHORTALL that is which Warriors side turns up - the surprise packet that challenges the premiership heavyweights, or the exhausted team that often shows signs of needing to go home?

Match Stats Melbourne on the other hand, usually go into most games focused and settled. Post-Origin makes it that much harder - coach Craig Bellamy will have plenty HEAD TO HEAD: 46 MATCHES to think about once Wednesday night's contest in Townsville is complete. He's named Addo-Carr, Munster, Kaufusi, Grant and Welch, along with an approved MELBOURNE 28-16 (2 DRAWS) 6-man reserves list to help cover any losses. At Central Coast Stadium: never met at this venue In bad news though - he's already lost prop-forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona. He LAST TEN: MELBOURNE 10-0 unsuccessfully challenged a Contrary Conduct charge and sits out this week's SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD game. Thankfully, Reimis Smith (who challenged a Careless High Tackle charge) 2016 R3 Melbourne 21-14 Mt Smart Stadium 16,214 was cleared to play. 2016 R8 Melbourne 42-0 AAMI Park 21,233 So the story here really is - this one is just an unpredictable mess. Form and 2017 R2 Melbourne 26-10 Mt Smart Stadium 9,811 class should dictate that Melbourne win, but ultimately it may just come down to 2017 R8 Melbourne 20-14 AAMI Park 22,153 how settled the lineup is going into this one. 2018 R8 Melbourne 50-10 AAMI Park 25,731 2018 R19 Melbourne 12-6 Mt Smart Stadium 17,695 Looking back at the Warriors - they might also be buoyed by some inspiring 2019 R7 Melbourne 13-12 AAMI Park 21,539 news, with the Auckland-based club announcing this week they're headed home 2019 R13 Melbourne 32-10 Mt Smart Stadium 12,957 for a one-off game at Mt Smart in Round 22, where they'll host the Canterbury- 2020 R7 Melbourne 50-6 Netstrata Jubilee 90 Bankstown Bulldogs. The news of their impending return to their long-missed 2021 R7 Melbourne 42-20 AAMI Park 20,320 home may just be the tonic they need to break what is an absurdly-long losing streak against their opponents, with their last win against the Storm coming BIGGEST WINS way back in 2015. 2000 R20 Melbournre 56-10 Olympic Park 13,028 Who to watch: After spending a month on the wing, 2019 Dally M medal winner 2002 R11 Warriors 28-12 Olympic Park 8,873 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck returns to his favoured fullback position with a suspension sidelining break-out rookie Reece Walsh. Whether he takes time or adjust or just MILESTONES gets on with the job will no doubt have a significant impact on how the Warriors PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... stand up to the might of the Storm. (MEL) 100 career points 4 points With the return of Ryan Papenhuyzen imminent for Melbourne, this could be Cameron Munster (MEL) 200 club & career points 3 points one of the last times we get to see Nicho Hynes play a full match in the custodian George Jennings (MEL) 100 career points 4 points role. The Cronulla-bound fullback has attracted plenty of attention in recent Justin Olam (MEL) 100 club & career points 8 points weeks for some superb performances, and along with other members of the spine - namely Jahrome Hughes and Brandon Smith - will vital to keeping the Match stats courtesy of Storm outfit stable heading into this one, regardless of which Origin stars back up on Sunday.

Favourite: Melbourne haven't lost to the Warriors in their last ten and the punters don't think that's going to change this week either.

My tip: While this definitely represents a danger game for the Storm, it's hard to tip against them. They'll win this, but the margin will depend on how many of NEXT THREE: WARRIORS their Origin cohort are able to back up. Melbourne by 10. R15 NEWCASTLE AWAY McD. JONES R16 ST GEO ILLA HOME CEN.

22 | LEAGUEUNLIMITED.COM | THE FRONT ROW | VOL 2 ISSUE 14 #NRLEelsTigers Match Preview MATCH DETAILS DATE Sunday 13 June 2021 with Justin Davies KICKOFF 4:05pm AEST The resurgent Tigers head across town to face the top four Parramatta Eels in a VENUE Bankwest Stadium, Parramatta NSW crucial clash at Bankwest Stadium on Sunday afternoon. WATCH Nine Network & 9Now, Fox League & Kayo Sports LISTEN ABC, Triple M SYD / BNE, NRL Nation Parramatta’s huge result against the Knights was a much-needed tonic after being humbled by the Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs in back-to-back weeks. The Eels LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com are back inside the top four and ready to launch their attempt at that elusive Premiership.

MATCH OFFICIALS One accusation that has been levelled against the Eels is being unable to match REFEREE Grant ATKINS the top two when they get to towards the pointy end of the season. That falls on TOUCH JUDGES Dave MUNRO the shoulders of their spine players Clint Gutherson and Mitchell Moses which Peter GOUGH is compounded by the absence of hooker – a critical part of their NRL BUNKER Henry PERENARA gameplan. In a much-vaunted forward pack, off-season signing Isaiah Papali'I has been a standout for his new club and turned into a try-scoring weapon. The former Match Stats Warrior alongside representative forwards Regan Campbell-Gillard and Junior Paulo can lay the platform for the Eels backline to sizzle in the winter sun and HEAD TO HEAD: 42 MATCHES complete the double on their western rivals. PARRAMATTA 26-15 (1 DRAW) At Bankwest Stadium: 4 matches, Parramatta 4-0 It was a rocky start to the season for Wests Tigers but now, the joint venture notched up back-to-back victories for the first time this year against Dragons and Panthers. Now they head to Bankwest for a vibe check against an Eels team LAST TEN: PARRAMATTA 8-2 which beat them by 14 on the Easter long weekend. SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD 2016 R21 Wests Tigers 23-8 Stadium Australia 14,428 It is another long weekend clash but the Tigers might have found some 2017 R7 Parramatta 26-22 Stadium Australia 28,249 consistency after giving their fans weekly heart palpitations. The move of Adam 2017 R20 Parramatta 17-16 Stadium Australia 30,901 Doueihi to centre has worked wonders and helped them to put 60 points on in 2018 R4 Wests Tigers 30-20 Stadium Australia 30,420 their two wins. 2018 R8 Parramatta 24-22 Stadium Australia 17,555 If they are to continue that plenty will fall on the shoulders of mercurial halfback 2019 R6 Parramatta 51-6 Bankwest Stadium 29,047 Luke Brooks. He has been at the joint venture since 2013 and has been involved 2019 R17 Parramatta 30-18 Bankwest Stadium 24,125 the their fruitless campaigns. Coming up against former teammate Mitchell 2020 R11 Parramatta 26-16 Bankwest Stadium 6,403 Moses, Brooks will want to take his side to a top eight berth and it starts with 2020 R20 Parramatta 28-24 Bankwest Stadium 7,359 overcoming the Eels. 2021 R4 Parramatta 36-22 Stadium Australia 29,056 Pride comes before the fall, Tigers have seen this story plenty of times before. BIGGEST WINS The joint venture side gets themselves hyped up and within two points of the top eight. The usual end to this story sees them beaten, usually by a wide margin and 2001 R11 Parramatta 66-12 14,802 back into the purgatory they have existed in since 2011. 2004 R12 Wests Tigers 33-6 Leichhardt Oval 18,883 Who to watch: Waqa Blake swapped edges last weekend for the Eels and the MILESTONES veteran looked much more settled in his work against an admittedly poor PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... Knights side. Blake faces a tougher matchup this week and alongside youngster Bryce Cartwright (PAR) 100 career points 4 points Haze Dunster will need to repeat their effort against a vibrant Tigers side and Mitchell Moses (PAR) 800 career points 2 points cement their spot in the Eels backline. 600 club points 3 points The Tigers are riding high in recent weeks and one of their big reasons is back Adam Doueihi (WST) 200 career points 12 points rower Luciano Leilua who has been bright in all his runs and bends through the James Tamou (WST) 100 career points 4 points line. Coming up against the Eels forward pack will test Leilua and his forward mates as they try to make it three in a row for the first time this season. Match stats courtesy of Favourite: The Eels won the earlier matchup and come into the game off thrashing the Knights and sit third so go into the contest as justified favourites.

My tip: I think the Eels win this one. Parramatta by .8

24 | LEAGUEUNLIMITED.COM | THE FRONT ROW | VOL 2 ISSUE 14 #NRLBulldogsDragons Match Preview MATCH DETAILS with Emile El-Azar DATE Monday 14 May 2021 (Queen's Birthday) KICKOFF 4:00pm AEST The Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs return home to Stadium Australia for the VENUE Stadium Australia, Sydney Olympic Park NSW first time since Round 8, for their now-traditional Queens Birthday meeting with WATCH Fox League & Kayo Sports the St George Illawarra Dragons. LISTEN ABC, Canterbury are coming into this after a hard fought two points earned from the LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com bye... oh yes, and the five straight losses before that, the most recent being a 30-4 loss to Penrith in which the 'Dogs got strangely positive reviews for a heavy MATCH OFFICIALS loss. This should tell you how low the bar has been set. REFEREE Gerard SUTTON The Red V are coming in off the back of a huge 52-24 win over the Brisbane TOUCH JUDGES Phil HENDERSON Broncos, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Todd SMITH NRL BUNKER Ashley KLEIN In team news, well - both teams don’t have to worry much about State of Origin wreaking havoc on their lineups.

Canterbury's Jeremy Marshall King returns from injury to reclaim the Number 9 Match Stats jersey. The other dummy half option Sione Katoa also returns - from suspension HEAD TO HEAD: 41 MATCHES - and takes Brad Deitz' spot on the bench. Chris Smith’s suspension has been completed, however coach Trent Barrett has CANTERBURY 25-16 (no draws) not seen it fit to name him, while Deitz (injured) and Jackson Topine (baffling At Stadium Australia: 21 matches, Canterbury 13-8 omission) have come out of the side. Then there’s the mystery of key off-season signing, halfback Kyle Flanagan. Not named in the NRL starting side, not named LAST TEN: 5-ALL in NSW Cup again, and not on the injury list. I’ll just leave it at that. SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD 2016 R21 Canterbury 13-10 Stadium Australia 15,008 The Saints have named the exact same 17 as last week. For this Bulldogs fan, this 2017 R14 Canterbury 16-2 Stadium Australia 24,083 is an extremely foreign concept, and I am supremely envious! 2017 R26 Canterbury 26-20 Stadium Australia 21,582 2018 R14 St Geo Illa 18-16 Stadium Australia 21,376 NSW utility Tariq Sims has been named on the extended bench, and should come into the 17 if he survives Origin. Poasa Faamausili will need to clear concussion 2018 R24 Canterbury 38-0 Netstrata Jubilee 12,436 protocols to take his spot on the bench. 2019 R5 St Geo Illa 40-4 Netstrata Jubilee 13,409 2019 R13 St Geo Illa 36-12 Stadium Australia 16,003 Last time they met - just five rounds ago at Kogarah - saw an easy 32-12 victory 2020 R4 Canterbury 22-2 Bankwest Stadium - for the Dragons. And if we're honest, where they very easily could have run in 2020 R10 St Geo Illa 28-22 WIN Stadium 1,619 50-plus. 2021 R9 St Geo Illa 32-12 Netstrata Jubilee 7,253 It was also (seemingly) the beginning of the end for Kyle Flanagan, hooked by BIGGEST WINS Barrett before half time, and not seen in Bulldogs (or Mounties) colours since. 2018 R24 Canterbury 38-0 Netstrata Jubilee 12,436 St George Illawarra have now won 4 of the last 5 clashes between these two 2019 R5 St Geo Illa 40-4 Netstrata Jubilee 13,409 sides. MILESTONES Who to watch: I’ll be watching to see what the Dragons' backline is going to do PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... to the Bulldogs' out of form, slow, and out of position fullbacks, wingers and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (CBY) 200 career points 4 points centres. I’m expecting Mikaele Ravalawa and Matt Dufty in particular to have an Josh Jackson (CBY) 100 club & career points 4 points absolute field day. (CBY) 200 career points 4 points Canterbury's team selection is not rewarding form, or punishing a lack of it. All Will Hopoate (CBY) 100 club points 4 points we have is Luke Thompson being the shining light in an otherwise depressing Corey Norman (SGI) 50 club games 1 game season. He is brilliant - and will lead from the front again. 100 club points 13 points Gerard Beale (SGI) 200 career points 4 points Favourite: At the time of writing, the Dragons are $1.20 favourites. St.George-Illawarra (since 1999) 12000 points 21 points My tip: The Dragons should win this rather comfortably. St George Illawarra Match stats courtesy of by 20.

Huddersfield v Warrington Victoria Park Sun 13 Jun 3:30pm Two of the Leeds senior squad have tested positive for Covid-19 in the last two days, requiring Castleford v Leeds Mobile Rocket Stadium Sun 13 Jun 3:30pm them to self-isolate for 10 days – and an additional seven players have been shown as close contacts of one or both of those players through Test and Trace.

Under the RFL’s Covid-19 protocols, a team can apply to postpone a match if seven or more senior players are unavailable as a result of Covid-19 – either through positive tests or as close contacts – and the RFL have therefore accepted Leeds’s request to postpone Friday’s fixture.

As with the versus fixture, which has also been postponed as a result of Covid-19, the clubs will liaise with the RFL on a possible date to rearrange the match later in the season – although the Betfred Super League table will again be determined by win points percentage to allow for the possibility of not all fixtures being fulfilled.

Sky Sports had been due to show the Leeds Rhinos versus St Helens game, but will now cover the match between Hull KR and (kick-off 7.45pm).
