Let’s take a look at the weekend fixtures for Round 18 of the NRL.

 

DRAGONS vs CANBERRA RAIDERS – Sat 12 Sep @ 07:00, Wollongong

The Raiders have been far from their 2019 levels yet have looked good of late, despite coming up short against the Roosters last week. The Dragons are a side out of the playoff running and fresh off defeats to the Titans and Cowboys. The boys from Canberra should enjoy this opportunity to start their run into the knockouts.

 

GOLD COAST TITANS vs BRISBANE BRONCOS – Sat 12 Sep @ 09:30, Gold Coast

Both teams are well down on the log but it’s the less fancied neighbours who come into this one off the back of two victories and surely keen to be yet another team to put the boot into a Broncos side who just can’t wait for 2020 to end. In their first real Siebold-less outing Brisbane didn’t disgrace themselves against Penrith and they won’t be keen to suffer defeat to the “lesser” Queenslanders. I find this match tough to call and will only get involved in a few alternative plays.

 

SYDNEY ROOSTERS vs NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS – Sat 12 Sep @ 11:35, SCG Sydney

Despite a recent thumping at the hands of the Warriors, Newcastle have done enough to ensure a playoff berth. But in this one they square off against the might Chooks without their most lethal weapon, Ponga, and I don’t see it ending well for the Knights.

 

MELBOURNE STORM vs NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS – Sun 13 Sep @ 08:05, Sunshine Coast

The one team is all class and the other is utter garbage. This cap is understandably high as the clinical Storm should have little trouble in putting the woeful Cowboys away on Sunday.

 

CRONULLA SHARKS vs NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS – Sun 13 Sep @ 10:30, Sydney

The Sharks get the opportunity to well and truly secure their playoff spot by beating their direct rivals for a top eight spot. The Warriors have shown some good fight for the most part during 2020 and have certainly punched above their weight given the obstacles they have encountered. With Magicman Shaun Johnson back for Cronulla I have to favour them to get the job done.
