Andrew Johns, Brad Fittler and Nine experts pick their winners

3 weeks ago | nine.com.au | Ben Glover

No one saw the Raiders coming when they sprung an upset against the Broncos in round two and Andrew Johns can see a similar result coming when Ricky Stuart's men host the Sharks on Thursday night. While the bookies have listed the Raiders as $2.32 outsiders on the back of two straight losses, the Eighth Immortal is backing them to continue winning ways at home in just their second outing for the season in Canberra.

The Panthers face a huge challenge to avoid starting the season with a 1-3 record as they face Wayne Bennett's Rabbitohs on Thursday night without the best player in the NRL. Champion halfback Nathan Cleary was knocked out of Penrith's round three game against the Storm with his side showing extraordinary resilience to stay in the game against the premiership favourites, gallantly going down 30-24.

The absence of Nelson Asofa-Solomona for Sunday's grand final has been a huge talking point this week and Brad Fittler is expecting it to hurt the Storm in a surprising area. While most see the star's suspension as an advantage to Penrith's middle forwards, with the jobs of dominant front-rowers James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota becoming easier, Fittler looks to the flanks to identify the true edge.

Roosters legend Brad Fittler has expressed 'surprise' at a team selection trend that has emerged in the finals, with coaches turning to their big men in an effort to grab a stranglehold on the middle of the field. Fittler has picked his old team to upset the Storm in a clash that Andrew Johns says will deliver the premiership winner, and picked out an interesting quirk in the team lists.

The Cowboys are being heavily tipped to continue the Sharks' shocking finals drought, with a charter flight and a resurgent star keys to a fly in, fly out ambush. Both Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler are picking the Cowboys to progress to a preliminary final clash with the Panthers, with the pressure on maligned halfback Nicho Hynes and Cronulla's poor recent finals record weighing heavily on the hosts for Friday night's elimination clash.

Nathan Cleary's much anticipated return from a shoulder injury for Friday night's qualifying final has given the Panthers clear favouritism as they host the battle worn Roosters but according to Andrew Johns, the gun halfback's fitness has been overstated.

Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler can't remember a time when the final regular season round had so much hinging on it. From second place and the home final that comes with it, to the battles for fifth, sixth and seventh and the Knights v Dolphins game that will determine who finishes eighth, almost every game of the round has something at stake.

The Cowboys could seal a home final by beating an understrength Storm side on Thursday night, setting them up as a "dangerous" floater in the playoffs, thanks in part to a surprise axing. Speaking on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and The Eighth, Brad Fittler wondered aloud if veteran halfback Chad Townsend could make his way back into the side in time for finals but conceded that his replacement, Jake Clifford, has "killed it" since being called into the side.
