Dragons beat Knights 20-4 & Eels beat Doggies 34-22.0 from 2 which is not a good way to start the tipping this round.
 
Tigers underestimated the GC & turned in a very poor 1st 1/2 to be 6-24,game over despite a more committed & enthusiastic 2nd 1/2 effort.

Rooster and Warriors, what a game. Ended up 31-31. What a finish, just amazing to watch.
Great game,Manly beat Broncos by 13 in which Shaun Berrigan has been ruled out for the rest of the season.Broncos look shot to pieces.Too many stars out of the side.
 
In Bundy night footy the Sharks tackle the Storm.Expect this to be a reasonable match with Storm kicking clear in the 2nd half.
 
Storm scrape home in Bundy night fooy with a 17-16 victory over Sharks.Was a great game with Storm starting slow & being down 14-0 early.To Storm's credit they fought back & grinded a close victory.Sharks played really well & I'd rather Storm be sluggish now than in the semis.
 
All hail King Freddie.

Never seen a coach like him. So calm and relaxed, actually seems to enjoy the game rather than stress out completely like most coaches.

A breath of fresh air to the game :clap

Why the Roosters haven't appointed him coach for next year is beyond me.Will now probably make the 8.

I think their heirachy is still in shock at the turnaround MB.

They were just about on skid row(worse than even RFC ;) ) after dumping Ricky Stuart, missing out on Wayne Bennett and then everything that could go wrong did under Chris Anderson.

Football is a funny game at times.
 
Credit (through clenched teeth) to Easts & Fittler on their turnaround.Fittler's in a 'no lose' position re no expectation , hence the calm demeanour etc.Phil Gould has returned & involved himself in much of the work 'behind the scenes' re preparation,mentoring & the like.

Tigers ? We'll now struggle to make the finals.Can't see us making much of an impact if we do as unable to play consistently well to string wins together &/or prevail in the arm wrestles.Need some size & pace next year but not 'Robinson Crusoe' re that want.
 
Storm beat Roosters 14-6 in good game to watch.Storms defence was good but their attack was average leaving them with plenty of concerns before the playoffs.At least they have time to sort out their attack.Great effort from an undermanned Broncos.
 
In Bundy night footy the Panthers take on the Cowboys.Have tipped the Cowboys but not with much confidence as they've been very inconsistent.Should be a good game as Panthers try & avoid the wooden spoon.
 
Am getting tired of the bleating coming from Broncoland, yes theyve had a shi run with injuries but this continual sooking about the Storm is getting thin.

Me thinks the Broncos may be feeling the heat of missing the Semis for the first time in eons.

Panthers have been the tipsters nightmare this year they have ruined mine i know for sure, also Sharks and Roosters have made tipping difficult in back half of season.

Always tip the Raiders at home in the depths of winter is my tactic its been very fruitful this year. ;)

Storm are looking a bit less potent over past few weeks abnd need a lift to gear up for the finals.

Inglis back into the centres is a start with Folau and Turner on the wings and Slater in the #1.

Put Boofa Geyer in at 5/8 thats my 2 cents anyways.

Doggies layed some wallpaper over a few cracks with their hammering of the Raiders who have been ok for mine this year, and have a big future with the likes of Carney, Zillman, Bronx Goodwin, Tilse, Costigan, Learoyd Lars, Dobson, Chalk, Hinchcliffe etc.

Been a bumper season with some twist to come.

Can the Bunnies do it ......................... it'd be nice to see em make the finals for the sake of their long suffering fans at least.
