Chris Boulous writes: The last time the Knights played at Suncorp Stadium the Broncos defeated the Wayne Bennett-coached Knights 48-6. A lot has changed since then. Not only does Bennett coach the Broncos, he has them on top of the table and as they showed last week can win games purely on their defence. They will also enter the game with confidence knowing they have a good record against the Knights winning their previous three head-to-head matches  and scoring more than 100 points in the process. They also have the luxury of continuing their rotation policy with Sam Thaiday earning a rest with Corey Parker and Justin Hodges returning from their lay offs.The Knights are at the other end of the scale as their season goes from bad to worse with nine losses from their past 10 games This week they lose Kade Snowden (suspension) and Chris Houston (finger)  for the trip north with Jarrod Mullen, Jeremy Smith and Tyrone Roberts to be monitored up until the team departs for Brisbane on Thursday.

Chris Boulous writes: It will be a family affair when the Rabbitohs and Sea Eagles play for two vital competition points on Friday night. It will be the first time Luke Burgess (Sea Eagles) faces his former teammates and brothers George and Tom Burgess (Rabbitohs). Glenn Stewart (thumb) is also racing the clock to return to face brother Brett. Family loyalties aside, both teams will be desperate to kick-start the second part of their season with a win.The Rabbitohs have had a fortnight to think about the trashing they got at the hands of the Wests Tigers and welcome back Greg Inglis in the No.1 jumper.The Sea Eagles will be looking to climb off the bottom off the ladder and search for consecutive wins for only the second time this year. The return to form of Kieran Foran and Feleti Mateo are good signs for Geoff Toovey's team who will be looking for revenge from their big loss to the Rabbitohs in last year's qualifying final.

Chris Boulous writes: One player will decide this contest: Shaun Johsnon. The No.7 was brilliant in the Warrior's win against the Titans and a repeat performance will continue the Warriors' recent stranglehold against the Raiders which has seen them win their last four games; three coming by 50 points or more. The Raiders went within inches of upsetting the league's hottest team last week and will be confident of forcing an upset across the ditch with Blake Austin leading the way. A strong performance from Josh Papalii against the powerful Warriors forward pack could secure him a Queensland jumper. New recruit Joey Leilua has been named 18th man for the Raiders. The usual travel weary Raiders have won five out of seven games on the road this season.

Cowboys v Sharks

Chris Boulous writes: How many Houdini-like escapes do the Cowboys have left in them? The good news for the Sharks is their magician will be missing this week with Johnathan Thurston being rested as they search for an unprecedented 12 wins in a row. Insert Michael Morgan as the home team look to prove they are not a one trick pony. The Sharks have a knack of lifting against the top teams and could have skipper Paul Gallen on deck for the trip north. NRL.com stats reveal the Sharks are 14th for tries scored (36); an area they need to improve if they want to match the confident Cowboys who have won their last four games without playing anywhere near their best.

Eels v Dragons

Eels: 1 Corey Norman 2 Semi Radradra 3 Will Hopoate 4 Brad Takairangi 5 Ryan Morgan 6 Luke Kelly 7 Chris Sandow 8 Junior Paulo 9 Cody Nelson 10 Tim Mannah (c) 11 David Gower 12 Tepai Moeroa 13 Danny Wicks 14 Darcy Lussick 15 Pauli Pauli 16 Daniel Alvero 17 Joseph Paulo

Chris Boulous writes: The Eels off-field drama has somewhat taken the attention off their growing injury toll. This week the Eels will have a new fullback (Corey Norman), five eighth (Luke Kelly and hooker (Cody Nelson) for their clash against the Dragons. Two very different preparations for Saturday's game with the Eels entering the game off the bye while the Dragons are on the short turn around from Monday night football. No doubt the Eels will direct the majority of the attack down their left side with NRL.com statistics revealing their left edge is the most potent in the competition with 31 tries scored. Interestingly, the Dragons right side defence is the tightest in the competition with only 11 tries conceded.

Chris Boulous writes: Expect a fast paced game with plenty of points. NRL.com stats reveal both teams are in the top five for quick play the balls and in the last seven games between these teams an average of 42 points have been scored. Aidan Sezer's injury stretches the Titans depth but they will take confidence in knowing they have won nine of their last 14 games played in NSW. The Roosters will be looking to turn around their form on the Central Coast losing their last five games at the venue since 2008. The Roosters welcome back Michael Jennings from his club-imposed suspension.

Chris Boulous writes: The battle of the cats is a must-win both game for both teams if either harbour ambitions of finals footy in 2015. The Tigers will welcome a rare day game at Leichhardt and they will also be boosted by the return of captain Robbie Farah. Injuries continue to plague the Panthers with James Segeyaro the latest name on the casualty list and will be missing for at least a month. James Mansour will make his long awaited return as the Panthers look to avoid four straight losses.The Tigers have had the wood over the Panthers in recent times winning seven of their last eight games.

Bulldogs v Storm

Bulldogs: 1 Brett Morris 2 Curtis Rona 3 Josh Morris 4 Tim Lafai 5 Sam Perrett 6 Moses Mbye 7 Trent Hodkinson 8 Aiden Tolman 9 Michael Lichaa 10 David Klemmer 11 Shaun Lane 12 Frank Pritchard 13 Greg Eastwood 14 Sam Kasiano 15 Lloyd Perrett 16 Tim Browne 17 Josh Reynolds.

Chris Boulous writes: Whatever the result on the field, the Bulldogs will be the winner for taking a home game back to Belmore. The Bulldogs return to their spiritual home having won three of their last four games and welcome back Brett Morris and Trent Hodkinson against a Storm team they have defeated the last four times.  Minus Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater, the visitors no doubt will base their game around defence where they dominate a lot of the categories. NRL.com stats also show have the best completion rate (80 per cent) in the competition. The match up between halves Blake Green and Moses Mbye is an intriguing one with  the pair unexpected attacking sources for their team's this season combining for 10 tries, 10 try assists, 12 line breaks and nine try assists.
