Qualifying final 1: Penrith Panthers (1st) v Sydney Roosters (4th), Friday 7.50pm EST / 10:50pm NZT at Panthers Stadium
After winning 15 straight games to claim the minor premiership, the Panthers face back-to-back premiers Sydney Roosters for a spot in the preliminary final.
The Roosters lost 60-8 to South Sydney last week and have a point to prove.
Elimination final 1: Canberra Raiders (5th) v Cronulla Sharks (8th), Saturday 5.40pm EST / 8:40pm NZT at GIO Stadium
The Raiders defeated the Sharks in round 20 and they'll lock horns again - but this time in sudden death.
Canberra rested many of their stars last round and Cronulla are also due to get a host of players back for this do-or-die clash.
Qualifying final 2: Melbourne Storm (2nd) v Parramatta Eels (3rd), Saturday 7.50pm EST / 10:50pm NZT at Suncorp Stadium
The Storm have been consistent all year, finishing second, while the Eels started strong but have mixed their form late.
Elimination final 2: South Sydney Rabbitohs (6th) v Newcastle Knights (7th), Sunday 4.05pm EST / 7:05pm NZT at ANZ Stadium
Newcastle had all but sewn up a home final after round 19. But their shock loss to the Titans and South Sydney's mammoth win over the Roosters means the Knights will now travel to Homebush.
