Some tantalizing match-ups look set to unfold tonight. The fleet footed Michael Jennings will do battle in the centres with Dean Whare, who's fast establishing himself as one of the best defensive centres in the league. The attacking flair of Bryce Cartwright will go head to head with hard nose Roosters forwards Jared Warea-Hargeaves and Dylan Napa. While there's probably no bigger match-up than the head to head battle of the two kiwi wonder-kids Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
