Thursday Night, ANZ Stadium
While the Dogs' season may be all but over, there's no doubting they'd love than to slow down the high-flying Eels who are on a five-game winning streak and surging towards finals football.
Wins over the Broncos and Storm in recent weeks have seen the Eels climb to sixth on the NRL ladder, thanks in large part to their forward pack who have produced big metres over that span of time.
The Bulldogs will enter the game with a bit of confidence knowing that they pushed the Eels to golden point just over a month ago. Brett Morris' return will also give the Bulldogs a boost while the Eels go in unchanged with a potential top four spot on the line.
Expect another tight encounter between these two old rivals but it's too hard to go past the form that the Eels are in.

Friday Night, Sydney Cricket Ground
The Dragons slide down the ladder continues as they sit on the fringe of the top 8 following a disastrous loss to the Knights last will and the Rabbitohs will look to pile on the misery come Friday night.
Adam Reynolds and Sam Burgess have both been named by the Rabbitohs after overcoming injuries while the Dragons have an unchanged side as they look to hold on to their finals spot.
The Dragons have registered an astonishing 38 offloads in the past fortnight and will look to further bolster those numbers on Friday night as the Rabbitohs defence remains one of the worst in the competition.
The Bunnies season has been disappointing, to say the least however their recent record at the SCG is one that will give them hope heading into Friday night. They've managed to win five out of their last six matches at the venue and if that's anything to go by, the Dragons may wish they'd have played this fixture at their traditional home ground.
The bookmakers have the Dragons as clear favourites and deservedly so, however, don't count the Rabbitohs out of an upset.

Friday Night, 1300SMILES Stadium
The Cowboys host the ladder leaders on Friday night in a blockbuster clash in Townsville. After going down to the Roosters last week, the Cowboys lost touch with the top four and will look to bounce back against a Storm side coming off a clinical performance at home against Manly.
The Storm welcome back Billy Slater into the side, however, Cameron Munster is out due to an ankle injury while the Cowboys have included Shaun Fensom onto their bench.
Cameron Smith put in an extraordinary performance last week in his 350th game while Melbourne's outside backs also continued their strong 2017 with Suliasi Vunivali crossing the try line once more while Curtis Scott and Josh Addo-Carr continued to blossom in their new partnership.
The Cowboys will no doubt be up for the right knowing full well that a big scalp like the Storm could be what they need to propel themselves in the right direction as finals football fast approaches. A loss could also see them slip as far as seventh with the Eels and Sea Eagles ready to pounce.
The Storm starts as favourites and deservedly so. After last week's thumping of Manly, they now boast the best attack and defence in the competition which is a big reason why it's very hard to look past them.

Saturday Afternoon, McDonald Jones Stadium
The Knights head back home buoyed by their third win of the season after a courageous win over the Dragons last week.
A win over a top eight side is sure to give them the confidence to go back to back this week over a Warriors side reeling after four losses on the trot.
The Knights' forward pack led by the Saifiti brothers were unstoppable last week combining for 351 metres and will look to carry that momentum forward in front of their home crowd. The Warriors, who will be without Bodene Thompson for the remainder of 2017, will look to get back to the basics by completing their sets and making their metres. When given the opportunity, they should have too much poise and class in attack for a side that has missed more tackles than any other team in 2017.
The Warriors enter the game as favourites however there is value in the Knights camp. With a little bit of confidence behind them, can they chalk up two in a row?

Saturday Night, CBUS Super Stadium
Both teams head into the local derby in losing form after the Titans were embarrassed by the Tigers while the Broncos ran into a red hot Eels side.
The Broncos lost touch with the top two last week and relinquished the third spot on the ladder while losing hooker Andrew McCullough for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. As a result, Kodi Nikorima pairs with Anthony Milford in the halves with Ben Hunt donning the number nine jersey. There is talk of Sam Thaiday possibly taking the reigns at hooker as well - or that could just be another string to Wayne Bennett's bow.
The Titans are simply playing for pride at this point of the season and will want to put in a better performance after last week. They've won just four out of 10 local derbies against the Broncos at home but will take belief from their 20-point win over the reigning premiers three weeks ago.
The Broncos have had the wood over their little brother with 17 wins in 22 meetings and are firm favourites to extend that dominance this weekend.

Saturday Night, Southern Cross Group Stadium
Without lighting the NRL world on fire, the Sharks are there or there about in 2017 and are priming themselves for finals football. The Broncos loss was their gain last week and will look to keep the pressure on the top two with a win over a Raiders side clinging to their finals hopes.
The Raiders will enter the shire knowing the Sharks are an average 5-5 at home this season and come off a strong 14-point win last week over South Sydney. Jordan Rapana and Josh Papalii return to bolster the Green Machine while Jack Bird comes back into the centres for the Sharks.
The battle of the packs promises to be a must-watch match up in a game that can make or break Canberra's season. A loss for the Sharks could also kill off any hope of a top two finals birth.
The Raiders are not to be written off however with the Sharks gearing up for a September assault, it's hard to see them dropping this one.

Sunday Afternoon, Lottoland
Manly will be hoping they can put a terrible fortnight behind them and recoup against a Roosters side pushing for top spot.
Addin Fonua-Blake misses the game due to suspension with Lloyd Perrett coming into the side for him as the Sea Eagles try to avoid slipping out of the top eight with just over a month to the finals.
The Roosters can also ill-afford to drop this game with the Sharks circling for second position on the ladder. With a game against the Storm looming next week, the tricolours could also experience a slide of their own beginning at Lottoland this Sunday.
Trent Barrett's men need to get back to what has worked for them all season by using their forwards to get the ball to their speedy outside men in Dylan Walker and Akuila Uate who've combined for 23 tries in 2017.
The Roosters head in with an unchanged 17 as they seek to keep their minor premiership hopes alive.
The Sea Eagles boast a less than impressive 5-5 record at home in 2017 and will start as outsiders with the bookies in a game that is poised to give the top eight a shake up, one way or another.

Sunday Afternoon, Pepper Stadium
Father and son go head to head to close out the round as Ivan Cleary looks to put a dent in Nathan Cleary's finals hopes.
The Tigers head into the clash on the back of a big win over the Titans last week while the Panthers will be seeking maximum points - both on the scoreboard and the ladder - as they look to climb into the top eight.
Panthers skipper Matt Moylan remains no certainty to take his place after a hamstring injury continues to bother him while Moses Leota returns in the number 13 jersey.
The Tigers have given up the third-most points in the competition which doesn't bode well for them given the Panthers have scored a league-best 25 tries in the last 20 minutes of games in 2017.
While the Tigers have matched sides for a reasonable percentage of time in 2017, their momentary lapses cost them all too often, often losing the battle in the middle of the park, allowing teams to waltz through their defence. Their attack remains potent and extremely dangerous when on song and there's no doubt they'll look to target the at times sloppy defence that Penrith possesses.
While Ivan would've taught Nathan a lot of what he knows, we can see that coming back to bite him this time around with the Panthers chalking up a comfortable win.
