ROUND 21 FIXTURES: Roosters v Broncos, Bulldogs v Dragons, Warriors v Panthers, Eels v Tigers, Cowboys v Storm, Rabbitohs v Raiders, Sea Eagles v Knights, Titans v Sharks.
Paul Kent's top tips:
Score so far: 103
No brainer: Tough to find one but the Bulldogs should bounce back.
Upset: Penrith has good form against the Warriors, winning the past three.
Coin toss: Plenty here, but toughest to pick is Roosters-Broncos.
James Phelps's top tips:
Score so far: 103
No brainer: Bulldogs to pants the poor Dragons.
Upset: Maybe the Titans?
Coin toss: Cowboys v Storm will go down to the wire.
Dean Ritchie's top tips:
Score so far: 101
No brainer: Manly have discovered some form and will be too good for the Knights at Brookie.
Upset: After upsetting the Broncos last week, the Panthers to win in New Zealand.
Coin toss: The Sharks' winning streak will be under serious threat on the Gold Coast.
Paul Crawley's top tips:
Score so far: 100
No brainer: Manly over Newcastle.
Upset: Eels out of finals contention but there is enough pride in this team to still spring an upset against Tigers.
Coin toss: Wouldn't surprise to see Titans shock Sharks, at home on Monday night.
David Riccio's top tips:
Score so far: 100
No brainer: Raiders. Too much strike for a Rabbitohs side unable to score points.
Upset: Cowboys. Crazy to say it, but without Thurston, Melbourne should start favourites.
Coin toss: Sharks. The Titans will treat this match like a final, with the Sharks their greatest barometer of where they sit in regards to giving the premiership a shake.
Nick Walshaw's top tips:
Score so far: 100
No brainer: Canterbury over a struggling Dragons.
Upset: Can't find one.
Coin toss: Couldn't tip them, but reckon Penrith are a chance against the Warriors.
Barry Toohey's top tips:
Score so far: 99
No brainer: Manly at home.
Upset: In their current form, Broncos are no sure things to beat second last placed Roosters.
Coin toss: Warriors-Penrith could go either way.
Rebecca Wilson's top tips:
Score so far: 93
No brainer: Sea Eagles.
Upset: Titans.
Coin toss: Warriors v Panthers.
Phil Rothfield's top tips:
Score so far: 92
No brainer: Bulldogs to bounce back from last week's shocker in Townsville.
Upset: Roosters to beat the Broncos with the home advantage.
Coin toss: Titans and Sharks could be a golden point decider.
Christian Nicolussi's top tips:
Score so far: 85
No brainer: Canberra will continue poor old South Sydney's woes with a big win.
Upset: The Chookies will salute at home - they've been improving each week.
Coin toss: The Titans and Sharks will go down to the wire.
