Yeah same.
Will be interesting to see how the Broncos go.
 
Eels down Broncos 20-16 in good game of Bundy night footy.great effort from the undermanned Broncos who nearly pinched the game.
 
My tips for this round;

Storm
Raiders
Souths
Warriors
Doggies
Broncos
Eels
Tigers

Unfortunately already have the Storm game wrong with Roosters winning 3 in a row under new coach Brad Fittler.
 
In last nights games the winners were Warriors,Doggies & Souths.Titans look to be gone as are the Dragons from the finals race.
 
In todays games Manly beat the Eels & the Broncos beat the Sharks.Sharks,Dragons & Panthers the only 3 sides out of the finals race.Although can't see Knights,Raiders & Titans making finals either.
 
Tigers were good but more a case of NQ being no opposition.

Monday night winners seem to suffer a hangover next game so it'll be interesting to see how the Tigers fare,possibly without Hodgson, at the Gold Coast ,who'll probably be playing for their season,this Saturday . Visitors still some chance of a top 4 berth but need to string some wins together.

More realistic prospect is that there'll be an even hotter atmosphere (if at all possible) at this season's last Leichhardt fixture in the 2nd last round as the Tigers host Souths in what could be an elimination final 2 weeks early..

Is Hodgson injured again?
 
Relinquished the goalkicking duties after the 1st half.Limping badly mid 2nd half & replaced a few minutes before fulltime. Said to be a 'corked knee'...I'd sit him out of the GC game,given the short turnaround ,& see if he'll be ok for Friday week v Easts.

Agree MJ,Think you will beat Titans regardless.
 
Cowboys are not playing as the tight team they did 2 years ago and i cant help but feel that the so called inside player unrest last year still lingers.

A team with playmakers the calibre of Thurston, Smith, Bowen and Payne as well as Webb , Lillyman, Southern and Tronc should be doing much more.

Agree Craig,they are much better than what they are showing.May still yet miss out on finals.
 
That may definately be the case MB you may be right mate.

Dairy Farmers hasnt been a fortress of recent for them.

Great to see the BUnnies on the verge of finals action, a part of me wouldnt mind seeing make September, whilst they wont do much it is good for the NRL to have the Bunnies up thereabouts so good on em.

Also good to see the Raiders going nicely too, ive grown a soft spot for them too and rate alot of their kids, especially Carney, Zillman, Tilse, etc and they are a good solid unit.


Great win for the tiggies who i still have a slight hunch will be very dangerous come the finals and should make it to the preliminarys if they can keep building from now.

Well done to the Dogs for their get outta jail against the Dragons.

Lookin forward to next round already and i cant believe this season is almost gone after looking forward to it so much.

Great season so far and look forward to more twists and turns.
 
My tips for this week:

Bulldogs v Eels by 2 points

Knights v Dragons by 14

Titans v West Tigers by 4

Cowboys v Raiders by 7

Panthers v South Syd by 18

Roosters v Warriors by 6

Broncos v Sea Eagles by 5

Sharks v Storm by 11

Yep,this was discussed last year but couldn't be implemented until this year.Hopefully Storm win 1st final.
