Canterbury Bulldogs vs Cronulla Sharks (Sun 2pm, ANZ)
Last Five: Cronulla 4 wins, Canterbury 1 win
Based on recent form this is the most competitive game of the round. The Bulldogs hammered the Dragons on the weekend keeping the Red V scoreless. Although not playing finals this year all signs are positive for Dean Payne and The Kennel for 2019. For Cronulla they are coming home strong and the blood is in the water. Although tonight’s revelations of salary cap breach investigation in Cronulla may lead to repercussions for a Sweet September.
PREDICTION: Bulldogs by 4

Brisbane Broncos vs Manly Sea Eagles (Sun 4:10pm, Suncorp)
Last Five: Brisbane 3 wins, Manly 2 wins
Broncos on a strong run home. Manly now know that they will be looking for a new coach for 2019 and need to run the broom through Brookvale if Trent Barrett’s comments are anything to go by. In this case Benny’s Broncos to dismantle a woeful Manly side.
PREDICTION: Brisbane by 20+
