Soward says: Darren Nicholls is a huge out for the Dragons and they will struggle to be steered around the field without him. The Panthers are rolling at the moment with a great win against Newcastle last week. I think they win comfortably. Panthers by 12.

Soward says: It's really important for the Knights to bounce back, you want to try win your home games and they were disappointing last week against the Panthers. For the Mounties, I like what they're doing with their edge players and Sam Williams is arguably in some of the best form in the competition. Mounties by 12.

Soward says: The Warriors have been one of the most disappointing teams in the competition. There's a lot of pressure on Chanel Harris-Tavita because he was picked to be the five-eighth in the NRL team but it obviously hasn't panned out that way. They haven't been playing well but neither have Blacktown Workers although they welcome Trent Hodkinson into the team who will provide some experience. Both teams will be desperate for a win, so I'm tipping a draw.

Soward says: The thing with South Sydney is they're very similar to their first-grade team – they roll forward and got great shape on the edge and they have some quality halves as-well but will be without Conor Tracey this week. The Jets have been disappointing but are still finding their feet with new faces coming into the side. I'm tipping Rabbitohs by 6.

Soward says: For the Bulldogs, it really depends how those individual guys come back to the Canterbury Cup from the NRL. It's important they get their mindset right. On the other hand, the Magpies are rolling at the moment and Josh Reynolds may have another week after a big Tigers win last week. The Bulldogs were disappointing last week and lose some of their best guys to the top squad. Magpies by 10.

Soward says: Rip Taylor was quietly confident last week after they were written off by everyone. They really hung in there, completed well and young Brad Keighran had a fantastic game moving into the halves with Matt Mcilwrick at no.9. I think the Bears will win, but I think Wentworthville will be better than what I thought they were going to be if I'm judging off what we've seen in recent weeks, but I have the Bears by 8.
