With just six weeks remaining in the regular season, there's plenty to play for across the NRL as teams look to cement their spots in the top-four and top-eight.

Brisbane will be hoping to continue their strong campaign against a desperate Roosters outfit to kick off the round, while Parramatta and Melbourne will square off on Friday night. 

Tariq Sims and Martin Taupau are both facing time on the sidelines due to suspension, while Cowboys second-rower Jeremiah Nanai is out with a shoulder injury.
