The Roar's NRL expert tips and predictions are for Preliminary finals. Mary will lead the discussion this week. The Crowd's tips will be counted in The Roars' tips.

Parramatta are playing in the Finals series. Parramata are well-rested and playing a home final in 30 degree heat. Penrith are relentless and exceptional and I'm expecting them to win. Souths can beat Penlith, but they need to go right on the day.

There are three finals games left to play. Parramatta play the Cowboys. Penrith play South Sydney. The Panthers have been unstoppable all season. Souths make too many errors to keep Penrhys off balance. The Eels play against the Panthers. They have a better defence. In their entire finals 2021 series they scored 6 tries.
