This week’s round 14 of the NRL will see two of the best Fijian players in the competition face off in what many say will be quite a showdown.

Dragons winger Mikaele Ravalawa has turned a corner in his young NRL career in recent months and this weekend will come up against fellow Bati Maika Sivo, arguably the NRL’s form winger over the past 18 months.

Although they may be at similar points of their careers experience-wise, Sivo is four years older than Ravalawa which is likely indicative of their development to date.

This year alone, Ravalawa has scored eight tries to Sivo’s 11 but is averaging 145 metres per game compared to his Eels counterpart’s 123.

Tackle breaks are also almost identical with Sivo managing 33 and Ravalawa 32.

The Dragons will take play Parramatta Eels on Friday at 9.55pm.

Meanwhile, the Roosters will open round 14 on Thursday against the Storm at 9.50pm.

Another match on Friday sees the Panthers playing the Warriors at 8pm and this match will be shown live on FBC Sports on the Walesi platform.

There will be three games on Saturday with the Sharks playing the Titans at 5pm before the Rabbitohs meet the Cowboys at 7.30pm.

You can watch the Rabbitohs/Cowboys match live on FBC Sports.

At 9.35pm on Saturday, the Raiders takes on the Broncos.

Two games will be played on Sunday with the Knights facing the Sea Eagles at 4pm and the Bulldogs battles the West Tigers at 6.05pm.
