Hello sports fans and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of this Saturday's NRL action.

I'm Simon Smale and it is my pleasure to be here with you on this fine Saturday for Round 16 of the National Rugby League.

We're kicking things off on the sunny Gold Coast this afternoon as the Titans host the Warriors.

Later, the Roosters and the Bulldogs meet in a top eight showdown in Gosford and then the resurgent South Sydney take on Manly at the Olympic stadium.

Every day is a good day when there's footy to get into, so let's do just that.
