Penrith Panthers v Canberra Raiders
6:00pm AEST on Fox and Kayo
Glen Willow Oval, Mudgee
1.61-2.33
>A massive top-of-the-table Friday Night Football double-header begins in Central West NSW at Glen Willow Stadium in Mudgee. The Panthers had their nine-game winning streak snapped in an 18-22 loss to the Storm last round. The Raiders are well-rested after a bye and are coming off a commanding win over Manly in Round 23. Penrith co-captain Yeo has been named on the extended bench and is a chance to return from injury. The Raiders have named an unchanged 17 from their last victory, showcasing the stability that has taken them to the top of the ladder. The head-to-head record is incredibly tight, with Penrith winning 43 games to Canberra's 38 since 1982.

>GAME 2
Melbourne Storm v Canterbury Bulldogs
8:00pm AEST on Fox, Kayo and Ch9
AAMI Park, Melbourne
1.55-2.46
>It's second against third as the Storm and Bulldogs jostle for positions in the Top 4. The Storm are on a 4-game winning streak, including a vital victory over the Panthers last week. They have been building ominously towards September. The Bulldogs have lost two of their last three, including a 12-32 defeat to the Roosters, a result that exposed some potential defensive frailties. The Storm have named fullback Papenhuyzen on their extended bench as he looks to return from a concussion. The Bulldogs have named an unchanged 17 but have Tupouniua and Montoya on their extended bench as potential late inclusions. The historical record is almost perfectly split, with the Storm winning 24 of 46 games and the Bulldogs 22. Recent history is heavily skewed towards Melbourne, winning eight of the last ten encounters between the clubs.
Storm 1-12 2.80
Storm 13+ 2.95
Bulldogs 1-12 3.30
Bulldogs 13+ 6.75
Storm -4.5 1.91 Bulldogs +4.5 1.89
