ROUND 27 MATCHUPS - Bulldogs v Broncos - Titans v Dolphins - Roosters v Rabbitohs - Warriors v Sea Eagles - Sharks v Storm - Cowboys v Raiders - Panthers v Tigers We discuss: Panthers & Warriors — who finishes as minor premiers? Can the Dolphins finish the regular season strongly? Roosters v Rabbitohs — can South Sydney secure a home final? Warriors v Sea Eagles — can the Warriors finish No.1? Sharks v Storm — can Cronulla find some form before the finals? Cowboys v Raiders — can North Queensland build momentum? Panthers v Tigers — will Penrith rest players or go all-out for the minor premiership? Plus plenty of Josh Morris v Chad Townsend tipping banter, big calls, potential upsets and predictions for who we think will win every game. With the finals just around the corner, every tip matters.
