Hello and welcome to our coverage of a Friday night double-header, with two teams in the bottom half of the top eight battling against two teams fighting to earn a spot in the finals.

First up, the fifth-placed Dolphins visit the 10th-placed Sea Eagles at Manly’s 4 Pines Park. The Sea Eagles are two wins outside the eight after five straight losses and the Dolphins are two wins clear of eighth, with four rounds left to play. Can Manly turn their form around with a big scalp here?

Then the ninth-placed Bulldogs take on seventh-placed South Sydney in a game that could have a huge say on the finals places. Canterbury are looking to bounce back from last week’s tough two-point loss to the Roosters while the Rabbitohs are out to take back-to-back wins for the first time since June.

Kick-off for game one is 6pm, game two begins at 8pm.
