Looking for a cheat sheet for the weekend’s upcoming games?
Here’s as much information that we could cram into one size fits all visual.
Plus our famed barely interesting stats all in the one place for this week of fewer games.
Dolphins and Souths have only met once before. It was in Brisbane and on a Thursday night, just like this season, except this game is at Kayo Stadium aka Dolphin Oval in Redcliffe aka Kippa Ring. Souths have won the only game between these sides.
Dolphins have won three of their four Thursday games v Sydney clubs. The only loss was against Souths. The Dolphins only game at Redcliffe on a Thursday v Sydney clubs ended in victory and maybe a beer at the Belvedere Hotel. And Wayne Bennett doing karoake.
Dolphins loss v Dragons last start was their first loss to a Sydney team this season (seven games).
Souths win % on a Thursday is 56%, against Queensland sides it is 58% and 60% for away games.
Souths haven’t lost in Winter this season. Or it’s five wins in a row. Either way they are in good form.

TEAM RESULTS LAST TEN SEASONS WHEN ROUND HAS ONLY FOUR OR FIVE GAMES
The shortened-game rounds are something we have to put up with until State of Origin goes standalone.
But that doesn’t mean we take the tipping any less seriously. And along those lines we have some stats to see if some NRL teams take these shortened game rounds more seriously than others. Or are just better at it.
We’ve gone back ten seasons and included games outside of finals when there were either four or five games.
