Roosters v Newcastle
Friday 5.40pm
Aussie Stadium
The 3rd place Sydney Roosters come off their bye this week to face a Newcastle side confident after postying a good win over North Sydney last week. The Knights are a team that plays with a lot of enthusiasm but it will take more than that to beat the Roosters, who are living up to the potential they've had over the past couple of years.

Norths v Newtown
Saturday 3.00pm
North Sydney Oval
The Frank Hyde Cup has already been decided but there will still be plenty of feeling when the Bears host Newtown. The iunjured Ben Black has been named in the starting line up and for the sake of Norths he better play. Newtown will be looking out for their 5th win in a row. The return of Wade L'Estrange from suspension will boost the Jets off the bench.

Bulldogs v Canberra
Saturday 3.40pm
Express Advocate Stadium
The Bulldogs have another game on the road at Gosford. They will be hoping that it will not be a repeat of their last home match in Gosford where thety were walloped by Balmain. The Bulldogs put in a better showing last week against Souths and they will have to be at their best if they are to overcome the 4th placed Raiders, on a high after demolishing the Sharks last week.

Manly v Souths
Saturday 5.15pm
Brookvale Oval
The Sea Eagles are back at home after a humiliating loss to Parramatta this week. Manly will find their opponents a bit easier to handle this week. They face a South Sydney side on the fringe of the Top 8 after beating the Bulldogs last week. Manly will have to be wary of Souths,. The Bunnies are hungry for a top 8 spot. A win could see them in the 8. Manly would be hoping to deliver some of the form that took them to the top of the table earlier this year.
----
Parramatta v Wests
Saturday 5.30pm
Parramatta Stadium
This match could be another blowout if both sides mirror their performances last week. Parramatta were on fire putting 44 points past Manly while the Magpies turned in a woeful defensive effort at Henson Park. Parramatta want to maintain their lead at the top of the table. They will have plenty of ammo to fire at Wests, who are without the very useful Liam Fulton for the match.
----
Cronulla v Cougars
Sunday 12.30pm
Toyota Park
The Sharks return home to the Shire this week following the hiding they copped in Canberra. It won't get any easier for the home side. Their opponents are a Cougars side looking to make amends following their convincing defeat at the hands of the Saints last week. The return of Ben Rogers will be a boost for the Cougars. The Sharks have a poor record at Toyota Park this year.
----
Dragons v Balmain
Sunday 12.50pm
Oki Jubilee Stadium
The match of the round is between the 2nd placed Saints and the 6th placed Tigers. The Dragons easily outplayed the Cougars last week and with such a strong backline, they will have no problems putting points past the Tigers. However, Balmain can never be discounted. They are coming off the bye after losing to Newtown in a bruising encounter. Losing Jeff Lima for the season will hurt the often unpredictable Tigers but they certainly have the heart to match it with the Saints.
