Caine's round 16 tips:
Dragons v Eels
"I'm nervous with no Frizell and i'll be suprised if JDB plays. I'm expecting a very good Parra performance and they have a great record v the Dragons too, BUT the Win Stadium factor is big and think they can fall in."
Tip: Dragons by 6
Warriors v Sharks
"Isaac Luke [is a] significant out. Aaron Woods [is a] significant in (assuming he plays). Sharks too tough and are building nicely. Warriors have folded like a deck chair v the big gun teams this year. Sharks need this for any hope of a top four finish."
Tip: Sharks by 8
Roosters v StormÂ
"Because the coin landed on heads. The last month both teams have defended their heart out. I think you can win this one without scoring 20."
Tip: Roosters by 1
Panthers v Sea Eagles
"Maloney seems to have celebrated the Blues win well. Freddy has been quiet public on his players going back and doing a job for their club teams. Eyes will be on him for a big one. Big Bill Kikau back wont hurt either. Big doubt on DWZ playing which is a worry."
Tip: Panthers by 10
Knights v Bulldogs
"Low confidence here. Gut says Knights however Hopoate had a blinder at fullback for Tonga and I'm a big fan of the two Bulldog debutants Lachlan Lewis and Ofahiki Ogden. I think this game will be still alive in the final ten and if that's the case you want Boy Wonder (Ponga) on your side."
Tip: Knights by 4
Broncos v Raiders
"Hodgson with one explosive game under his belt, they scored 44-0 in the time he was on the field against the Tigers so I'm loathe to take him on. The Raiders' season goes on the line here."
Tip: Raiders by 6.
Wests Tigers v TitansÂ
"Sunny Day + Mbye + Farah + Leichhardt + off a big loss = Tigers certainties. They have so many reasons to be up and about for this one."
Tip: Tigers by 12
Rabbitohs v CowboysÂ
"Just a strong gut feel. Remember the Cowboys had the Bunnies beat just a month or so ago before a heartbreaking loss on the bell. I have a feeling Jake Granville has a big game against the Blues' #9 Damian Cook and throws himself into the Maroon #9 conversation for Game III."
Tip: Cowboys by 4
