The last round of the NRLW regular season kicks off on Thursday night when Cronulla host the Wests Tigers on home soil.
On Saturday, Brisbane will attempt to give themselves a shot at the minor premiership when they travel to Sydney to take on St George Illawarra.
Newcastle can confirm their place in the finals with a win over North Queensland, who dropped out of contention last week.
The Knights enter into the weekend ahead of Parramatta on points differential, with the Eels the only side who could still grab a finals spot despite sitting outside the top-four heading into the round.
Parramatta feature in the last game of the round on Sunday when they take on the ladder-leading Sydney Roosters, while before this clash Canberra takes on the Gold Coast.
