Weather forecast: Clear, 7-21?C, 5% chance rain, Wind 14kph W Centrebet: Panthers $1.95 Dragons $1.85 Leagueunlimited.com tip: Both sides have players in doubt but should be fielding near to full strength teams. Saints have had the edge this year with two big wins but the Panthers are hitting form and will be playing in front of a sell-out home crowd. Expect a tough encounter up front and some attacking football out wide. Dragons by 4.

The Broncos are tipped by many to sneak home but with players being rested last weekend, the Storm may very well cause an upset. Storm by 2.
