Scroll below for the current leaderboard and Round 25 tips by Johns, Fittler and all Nine's expert tipsters!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n If Melbourne lose to Cronulla<\/a>, who need a win to seal a top-eight berth, and the Panthers beat an Eels side<\/a> that is understrength due to Brad Arthur's decision to rest players, the Storm will surrender top spot, gifting the $100,000 reward for winning the minor premiership to Penrith.<\/p>\n "One thing that is clear is I think the minor premiership means very little," Fittler said, referencing the Storm's decision to rest their biggest names.<\/p>\n "I know there's a little cheque at the end but the way clubs are holding players out and… Anyway, maybe (the NRL) could look into that because it's most probably something that's a little bit more important than teams take it."<\/p>\n That prompted Johns' left-field solution: "I think it's $100,000. Do you know what they should do? They should throw a free trip for 30 to Vegas for a week, I reckon teams would try then."<\/p>\n The Storm have rested Cameron Munster, Christian Welch, Felise Kaufusi, Jesse Bromwich, Josh Addo-Carr, Kenny Bromwich and Reimis Smith, with Craig Bellamy fielding a barely recognisable 17, while the Eels will be missing Clinton Gutherson, Junior Paulo, Mitchell Moses, Marata Niukore and Waqa Blake for their clash with the Panthers.<\/p>\n Ivan Cleary went the other way, fielding his strongest line-up available in a match that Johns, the Eels halves coach, is tipping the Panthers to win by 50 points.<\/p>\n The Rabbitohs, who won't finish lower than third and are unlikely to jump either the Storm or Panthers into second also rested their guns with Adam Reynolds, Damien Cook, Cody Walker, Dane Gagai, Liam Knight and Tom Burgess all sitting out of their clash with the Dragons. They are also missing Latrell Mitchell due to his season-ending suspension.<\/p>\n Andrew Johns:<\/strong> Raiders, Sharks, Panthers, Knights, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Warriors, Tigers<\/p>\n Brad Fittler:<\/strong> Roosters, Sharks, Panthers, Broncos, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Titans, Bulldogs<\/p>\n James Bracey:<\/strong> Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Broncos, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Titans, Tigers<\/p>\n Darren Lockyer:<\/strong> Raiders, Broncos, Storm, Panthers, Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Titans, Bulldogs<\/p>\n The Mole:<\/strong> Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Knights, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Titans, Tigers<\/p>\n Paul Gallen: <\/strong>Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Broncos, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Warriors, Tigers\u00a0<\/p>\n Peter Psaltis:<\/strong> Raiders, Storm, Panthers, Broncos, Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Titans, Tigers<\/p>\n Billy Slater:<\/strong> Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Knights, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Titans, Tigers<\/p>\n Ruan Sims:<\/strong> Raiders, Storm, Panthers, Broncos, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Titans, Tigers<\/p>\n Tim Elbra:<\/strong> Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Knights, Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Titans, Wests Tigers<\/p>\n Ben Glover:<\/strong> Roosters, Storm, Panthers, Knights, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Warriors, Tigers<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
