>GAME 1
New Zealand Warriors v St George-Illawarra Dragons
6:00pm AEST on Fox and Kayo
Go Media Stadium, Auckland
1.58-2.39
>The hosts have slipped out of the Top 4 & face a danger game against a side with back-to-back wins. The Warriors have slipped out of the top four after three consecutive losses, most recently a 32-14 defeat to the Bulldogs. The Dragons have knocked off the ladder-leading Raiders and the Sharks in consecutive weeks. The Warriors claimed a tight 15-14 victory when the teams met in Round 10 this season. This is a classic clash of momentum. The Warriors are under immense pressure and another loss could see them slide as low as seventh, while the Dragons are playing with confidence and freedom.

>GAME 2
Sydney Roosters v Canterbury Bulldogs
8:00pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9
Allianz Stadium, Moore Park
2.10-1.75
>In Round 23 the hosts enhanced their Top 8 chances, while the visitors took a giant step towards the Top 4. This Friday night clash should be a cracker. The Roosters have exploded into form, scoring 84 points in their last two games, including a 64-12 thrashing of the Dolphins in Round 23. The Bulldogs continue their stellar season, sitting third on the ladder. They bounced back from a loss to the Tigers with a gritty 32-14 win over the Warriors last weekend. The Roosters have a narrow 26-24 lead in head-to-head clashes since 1998. The Bulldogs won the earlier encounter this season, coming back from 14-0 down to win 24-20 in Round 11. This match pits the Roosters' red-hot attack against the Bulldogs' league-best defence. Containing James Tedesco will be the key for the Bulldogs, while the Roosters must overcome a poor home record at Allianz Stadium this season.
