Roosters v Storm The Roosters finished the season as Minor Premiers for the third straight season and did it in style with a dominating display over their bitter rivals, the Rabbitohs. They were up by this score at HT and perhaps took their foot off the accelerator somewhat; however what was displayed in the first …

Broncos (2nd) v Storm (5th) The Broncos flexed their muscles last week against the Rabbitohs, turning out one of their most dominating performances of the season in a 47-12 victory. It was a sign that this team is beginning to peak at the right time and silenced many doubts about their halves. The loss in …

Rabbitohs (4th) v Broncos (2nd) The Rabbitohs are reeling currently, with a loss to the Bulldogs compounded by an injury to Greg Inglis. The loss wasn’t an ideal outcome, but it was somewhat expected with the players that were missing. Still, they were unable to gain momentum early on in the match through a lack …

Broncos (1st) v Bulldogs (8th) The competition leaders were given a large reality check last week in the way of a 30-point drubbing to Manly.

Nevertheless, they put together some brilliant passages of football that reiterates their standing at the top of the competition ladder. They were guilty of releasing the pressure …

Storm (6th) v Panthers (11th) The form of the home team has slipped in recent weeks; to the point where they are sliding down the competition table. If this trend was to continue, it won’t be long until they are fighting for a position in the bottom half of the Top 8; with their current …

Raiders (11th) v Knights (15th) A match between two sides outside the Top 8 is hardly going to get anyone exciting for the sole match on a Friday night, but it is the platform that the Raiders (and their sponsors!) have longed for. Ironically enough, the Knights were the last team the Raiders beat just …

Panthers (10th) v Rabbitohs (5th) Both sides head …
