NRL Round 14: Cowboys vs Dragons, Friday night
Early prediction: Cowboys comfortably
The value:: Cowboys -12.5 at TopSport
- The Cowboys’ fortunes will be determined by how many back up from Origin, but look strong regardless

- Cowboys are in stellar form and have good back-up options
Titans vs Souths, Saturday afternoon
Early prediction: Souths
The value: Souths -6.5 at TopSport
- The promotion of Paul Turner to No. 6 looks a little bit of a desperate move by the Titans
- Titans will be sweating on Tino backing up, while Souths will be sweating on Murray and Arrow
- Souths can find holes in this Titans defence and cover the line
NRL Round 14: Roosters vs Storm, Saturday afternoon
Early prediction: Roosters, just
The value: Roosters +4.5 at TopSport
- Roosters blew some chances against a gritty Raiders last week, and clearly missed the structure Tedesco provides
- Although Manu was great at filling in, they missed Tedesco in the centres and will be desperate to get their line up back to normal
- Storm sweating on some big names from Origin
Broncos vs Raiders, Saturday night
Early prediction: Broncos
The value: Broncos -5.5 at TopSport
- Broncos in terrific form
- Reynolds returning from a short lay off
- Who backs up from Origin will be key… if they all back up, Broncos should be too strong

Early prediction: Wests, just
The value: Wests +6.5 at TopSport
- Wests will be interesting watching with a new coach

Knights vs Panthers, Sunday afternoon
Early prediction: Panthers
The value: Knights +14.5 at TopSport
- Knights will be absolutely sweating on the fitness of Ponga and Gagai
- Rumours that the Panthers might rest their halves, which could open this game up
- Knights not without a chance here, but much uncertainty around squads at present
Warriors vs Sharks, Sunday night
Early prediction: Sharks
The value: Total points over 43.5 at TopSport
- Footage from Warriors training is promising regarding their mindset after coach sacking
- Warriors welcome back Curran, which is a big inclusion
- Sharks have some strong outside backs and could really trouble the Warriors out wide
NRL Round 14: Bulldogs vs Eels, Monday night
Early prediction: Eels comfortably
The value: Eels -15.5 at TopSport
- Doggies could not beat a heavily depleted Panthers last week
- Not much risk in this game with the Eels barely affected by Origin
- Only real issue is complacency and whether the Eels turn up with the right mindset
