Nine's tipsters have turned on the Dolphins, with the majority tipping the Eels to continue their recent resurgence by banking another two points at home on Thursday night. Speaking on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and the Eighth's Tips, Brad Fittler and Andrew Johns split their predictions, with Fittler expecting Parramatta's better recent form to give them the edge due to a good record at CommBank Stadium and the transformation that has been evident since Mitchell Moses returned from injury.

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.

North Queensland on Friday night visit Suncorp Stadium to face the Broncos in a much-anticipated Queensland derby, with both teams licking their wounds.

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.
