Tipping

[Red]

Pretty Good tipping last week. Myself, Equaliser and Josh all got 7 right. Josh won on for and against. He tipped Melbourne to win by 10 and they won by 8. Was a really easy week for tipping, I felt. GC let us all down. What a strange team!

How about this week? Really disappointed Wayne dropped Te Whare. I understand he's a little unfit and overweight but Brenko Lee is much more unfit and overweight. Anyway, what do they say? I'm taking my marbles and going home by tipping Melbourne.

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers - Penrith
2. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters - St George
3. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels - Souths
4. Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights - Cronulla
5. Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys - NQ
6. Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm - Melbourne by 10
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans - GC
8. Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles - Canberra

I'm going with Storm as well. The non-selection of Te Whare for Brenko Lee is bizarre.

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers - Penrith
2. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters - Roosters
3. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels - Souths
4. Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights - Cronulla
5. Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys - NQ
6. Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm - Melbourne by 8
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans - Bulldogs
8. Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles - Canberra

Last week was as easy as it get. Broncos-Melbourne was difficult. Never know what you're going to get with the Titans.

If I didn't know Wayne didn't drink, I'd think he was drunk recalling Brenko. Storm will beat us and Wayne will learn that he has to pick the best available team.

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers - Penrith
2. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters - Roosters
3. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels - Souths
4. Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights - Cronulla
5. Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys - NQ
6. Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm - Melbourne by 10
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans - Dogs
8. Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles - Canberra

 

[Equaliser]

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers - Penrith
2. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Sydney Roosters - Roosters
3. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels - Souths
4. Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights - Cronulla
5. Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys - Wests Tigers
6. Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm - Melbourne by 12 (Wayne is Bellamy's coaching son. As if the game wasn't going to be hard enough before Wayne recalled Brenko Lee.)
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans - GC
8. Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles - Manly

If the Dolphins win this game....... Well we won't be premiership favourites this season no matter what happens from now but ti will propel us close to premiership favourites. We have Brenko but they also have Remis-Smith, a fringe first grader in the centres. Keeping Munster quiet will be the key. Good game to see where JMK is going up against Grant as well.

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers - Penrith
2. SGI vs Sydney Roosters - Roosters
3. South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Parramatta Eels - Souths
4. Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights - Cronulla
5. Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys - NQ
6. Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm - Dolphins by 4
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans - GC
8. Canberra Raiders vs Manly Sea Eagles - Canberra

Anyone want to try tipping? It's really concerning for us. Will be severely weakened. If JMK is still out, I don't give us much chance. It will definitely be Wallace, Gilbert, Kafusi, Milf out. Probably Brenko Lee (not a huge loss) and maybe JMK.

1. Gold Coast Titans vs Wests Tigers: Gold Coast
2. Canberra Raiders vs Warriors: Warriors
3. Manly Sea Eagles vs Dolphins: Manly by 4
4. St George Illawarra vs South Sydney: Souths
5. Brisbane Broncos vs Newcastle Knights: Brisbane
6. Sydney Roosters vs Penrith Panthers: Penrith
7. Melbourne Storm vs Cronulla Sharks: Melbourne
8. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Parramatta Eels: Parramatta

Which result is better for us?

1. North Queensland vs Penrith Panthers: Penrith. They are going to be in the top 4. We might be in a fight with the Cowboys for a spot in the 8.
2. Newcastle Knights vs Sydney Roosters: Newcastle even though both might be in a fight with us for the top 8. It's nice to see the Roosters struggling. Just as long as they don't pawn off Sam Walker onto us.
3. Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles: Difficult one. I think Manly are more likely to make the 8 but Parramatta, like us could go either way.
4. Wests Tigers vs Melbourne Storm: Storm will be in the 8 and Tigers won't so..... Doesn't really matter.
5. Cronulla Sharks vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: Similar to #4 just not quite as extreme. Sharks will almost certainly be in the 8 and Dogs almost certainly won't.

Now that it would take a minor miracle for us to make the top 8, I wonder if anyone else wants to have a bit of fun with the tipping? If so, please only tip the margin for Dolphins games so it's easy to see who won:

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters: Broncos
2. Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs: Rabbits
3. Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels: Storm
4. Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights: Canberra
5. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Manly Sea Eagles: Manly
6. Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks: Penrith
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Dolphins: Dolphins by 16
8. Gold Coast Titans vs North Queensland Cowboys: Cowboys

 

[Equaliser]

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters: Roosters
2. Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs: Rabbits

6. Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks: Penrith

Need to start it from Round 1 next year.

1. Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters: Broncos
2. Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs: Rabbits
3. Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels: Storm
4. Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights: Canberra
5. St George Illawarra Dragons vs Manly Sea Eagles: Manly
6. Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks: Penrith
7. Canterbury Bulldogs vs Dolphins: Dolphins by 10
8. Gold Coast Titans vs North Queensland Cowboys: Cowboys

Looks like a really easy round to tip. There will probably be an upset, I'm thinking Newcastle over Canberra (but sticking with Canberra) but other than that, the only close game is shaping up as Broncos v Roosters.

And Canterbury are apparently getting a few back from injury this week. Should still win. If not, the season will likely end up near where a lot of experts had it ending for us in the pre-season.
