The first week of the NRL finals is almost set, with the Dolphins and Knights to face off in a do-or-die battle for the last spot in the top eight on Sunday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles will be looking to secure home ground advantage with a win over the Sharks.
While those results are still yet to be determined, we already have some idea of what next week’s match-ups will be and when they may take place.

Cowboys THRASH Dogs to secure home final | 02:45
The Panthers are set to host the Roosters at BlueBet Stadium and are expected to play on Friday night given the top four teams have historically always played on either the Friday or Saturday as a reward for finishing at the top of the ladder.
It is a move that would make sense given fourth-placed Cronulla would otherwise be backing up on five days’ notice, with the Sharks instead likely to take on the Storm on the Saturday.
That would leave the Sea Eagles vs Bulldogs and Cowboys vs Dolphins/Knights games to fill out the remaining slots, with the final schedule to be confirmed on Sunday night.
