We look at the individual match-ups set to light up NRL round 21, including Allgood v Matai round two Steve Matai was left fuming after his clash with Mitch Allgood. IT was only four rounds ago that we were talking about a Mitch Allgood brain explosion that finished up with Steve Matai spitting blood as the Eels prop spat the dummy. Allgood's flying fists came in the middle of a State of Origin series that redefined what was and was not acceptable on the football field, with referees sent an NRL edict directing them to sin bin players who crossed the line. While the game was well and truly over, as Manly battered their fierce rivals, Allgood was given a clip by the senior players in his team for letting them down, as he copped a two week suspension. The vagaries of the draw see the wooden spoon favourites again facing up against the Sea Eagles this weekend, and it won't be a surprise to see Allgood and Matai come together once again, with the Kiwi well-known for his penchant for a get-square. And in the spirit of that match-up, which we'll see on Saturday afternoon, foxsports.com.au has come up with five others that will be well worth the price of admission in round 21. Michael Jennings v Dean Whare: It's a case of master vs successor on Friday night at Penrith, with two of the competition's form centres going head-to-head in what promises to be an epic dual of speed and agility. Jennings has been a revelation at the Roosters in season 2013, rediscovering the electricity which made him one of the game's most dynamic players early in his career. He will no doubt be aiming to continue this impressive form against his former club after bagging a double when the Roosters played Penrith in round eight. However, the Panthers new go-to-man on the edge might have something to say about that. Whare has been a handful for opposition centres this year, scoring four tries, with seven try assists, 10 line break assists and 13 offloads. He also averages 18 tackles per game when playing in the centres and will no doubt be up quick to deny Jennings any room. Graig Gower v Scott Prince: Despite their aggregate age of 68, both Prince and Gower will be aiming to breathe life into their teams" attack when they meet at Hunter Stadium on Friday night. After yet another disappointing performance last week, 33-year-old Prince will need to rediscover his magic touch to not only ward off competition from Peter Wallace, but keep his 2014 NRL hopes alive. The ageless Gower, despite also being unsure about his playing career beyond 2013, will simply look to provide the same impact off the bench he has provided the Knights since returning to the NRL in Round 14; bagging a try and a line break and averaging 20 tackles. Shaun Johnson v Todd Carney: The individual match up of the round will see two brilliant playmakers in peak form battle it out for crucial competition points. Johnson has resurrected the mercurial style of play which took the Warriors to the 2011 grand final, while Carney has overcome the disappointment of Origin omission as well as a foot problem to lead scandal and injury riddled Cronulla to sixth-place on the ladder. Their individual stats are even more impressive. Johnson has laid on 10 try assists since round 10, following the Warriors two from eight start to the season. Carney, on the other hand, has helped his side over the line 18 times in 16 appearances. It's safe to say that whoever performs better on Saturday will snag a much needed win for their team. Anthony Milford v Billy Slater: Will Anthony Milford be the man to adopt the Queensland No.1 jersey in years to come? Only time will tell. But the young superstar gets a chance to stake his claim against the incumbent Maroons fullback this weekend. Milford has accrued a staggering 56 tackle busts, 10 line breaks and five tries in only 12 top grade games this year. Now, although he is narrowly outranked by Slater in all of these categories, including Billy's 16 appearances this season, don't expect 19-year-old Milford to let his idol get the rub of the green when it comes to impact on Sunday. Both men are game breakers with blistering speed and fancy feet. Look for them to inject themselves at every opportunity. Sam Burgess v Matt Scott: It would be easy to highlight the battle between playmaking masterminds Johnathan Thurston and Adam Reynolds. But on a fast, and no-doubt humid Townsville pitch, this game will be decided in the engine room. Enter Sam Burgess and Matt Scott. In the green corner, we have arguably the best forward in the world at the moment; a man whose hard metres and brutal defence has been the foundation for his side's rise to the top of the table. In the blue, we have an Australian Test prop who, despite being a little out of touch with his best form, has one key factor on his side; he is much more accustomed to the heat than the Yorkshire-born Burgess. Whoever can get their team on the front foot will go a long way to securing victory.
