South Sydney Rabbitohs v Manly Sea Eagles: Friday 09:00
Despite the Rabbitohs being the home team, this one won't be played at their home ground. Instead they're playing at the Allianz Stadium, home of the Sydney Roosters. The Rabbitohs are also without George Burgess, misses out due to suspension for a shoulder charge last week. They've won just one of their last five games and I wouldn't be surprised to see that become one in six here.

Manly come into this game following an impressive victory over the in-form Raiders last week and continue to be the surprise package of this season. The half-back partnership of Cherry Evens and Black Green is working exceptionally well and I expect them to decimate the Bunnies' line. Back Manly -2 at 10/11.
North Queensland Cowboys v Parramatta Eels: Friday 10:50
The Cowboys have been ravaged by injuries over the past couple of weeks and have really missed Jonathon Thurston, so to see him back in the 19-man squad is enough for me. The Eels haven't managed to cover this handicap at the Cowboys since 2010 so I'm happy to back that record continuing. Back Cowboys -6 at 10/11.
Canterbury Bulldogs v Canberra Raiders: Saturday 08:00
Only St. George Illawara have outscored Canberra this season and I expect the Raiders to continue scoring well in a victory at Canterbury. The Bulldogs haven't been consistent at all this year and a lack of flair from their half-backs means they only average around 16 points per game - not enough to win this one.

When the Raiders get their noses in front they're a difficult team to beat and the form of Englishmen
When the raiders get one top, they are a hard team to beat, and the form of Englishmen Elliott Whitehead and Josh Hodgson is very pleasing... from an Englishman's point-of-view anyway. Back Raiders -6 at 10/11.
We advise on 1 point per bet, and a ½ point on the treble at 6.2/1.
