Saturday, ANZ Stadium, 7.30pm

Referee: Tony Archer

Verdict: The Dragons are finding form at the right time with last week's win over the Warriors arguably their most complete game of the season. Given that came on the back of a win over Brisbane, and it's easy to see why they still remain a chance of a top four finish. The Eels were unimpressive in beating the lowly Bulldogs last week. The loss of halfback Brett Finch is huge, with the Eels to put their faith in the untried halves combination of Feleti Mateo and Kris Keating.

Key: Desperation - the Dragons need a win to confirm a finals spot and keep alive hopes of a top four finish, while it's all over for the Eels if they don't continue their belated winning streak.

Tip: Dragons
