Bulldogs vs Roosters

Matchup - Krisnan Inu vs Shaun Kenny-Dowall. Kiwi internationals who are both big, mobile and skillful.

Key player - Anthony Minichello will have to lead his young group of troops in to a tough, physical battle. He needs to be heavily involved with the ball and organised without it.

Keep an eye on - Daniel Mortimer getting a start in the halves.

Verdict - Bulldogs >12

Tigers vs Raiders

Matchup - Benji Marshall vs David Campese. Obvious reasons really.

Key player - Masada Iosefa will have to get his team rolling forward and keep his game pretty simple from dummy half.

Keep an eye on - How David Shillington plays after being dropped for Origin 2.

Verdict - Tigers <12

Eels vs Rabbitohs

Matchup - Chris Sandow vs Adam Reynolds. Two classy playmakers who will get a chance to shine with Origin depriving them of their super star comrade/s

Key player - Jake Mullaney. Will he be able to add the necessary attacking power with Jarryd Hayne on Origin duty?

Keep an eye on - Tom Burgess, George's twin will get a run from the bench. Will be fun to see another Burgess in action

Verdict - Eels <12

Titans vs Storm

Key player - Gareth Widdop will have to have a huge influence on the Storm's attack from fullback

Verdict - Titans >12
