Haha.

Cowboys and Manly 0 from 2. Broncos 2 from 2. Does it get any better.

Even though it's hurting my tips. Great to see.

Had no idea what was going through the Melbourne heads, no plan b or c or heck a plan a. Can't wait for Inglis to comeback whenever that will be. Anyone want to tip how many weeks Ben Ross and Brett White will get? Ross at least 3 and White 1.

They said Brett White will get three weeks and did anybody see on 7 news that Ricky Stuart was almost crying when he was reminding Ben Ross that he will miss him for the amount of weeks he will be gone for? :laugh:

As for suspensions, it will be a joke if Karmichael Hunt is suspended, nothing in it as Anasta was slipping and he has said he will back Hunt anyway not to get a ban.

2/8 for me. Disgraceful. Got 7/8 last week so that should soften the blow.

Thoughts on this round:

* There was nothing in the Hunt hit on Braith. Anasta was quite clearly slipping into it and Hunt isn't a dirty player. What bothered me was the way Hunt carried on after the hit like he meant to do it. That was in poor taste. He will probably get 1 week for a careless tackle.
* Ross is a dog for that hit on Cronk. At least 4 weeks. White did nothing any other player wouldn't have done though. I fully support him going in there and cracking Ross in the face after such a dirty shot on his halfback. Any good team man would've done the same.
* We were unlucky. Most teams usually have a game or two where the ref screws them over every year. Hope we've got ours out of the way early. Playing the Storm coming off a loss won't be easy though. Huge challenge.
* Good to see Soward playing well for the Dragqueens. The Chooks taught him everything he knows of course :p
* The Warriors played bloody well. Looks like they're going to be their enigmatic selves again this year.

4 this week, cant believe so many people tipped the Titans, this is the NRL, teams almost always (unless you are penrith) hit back after being hammered in the media all week. Combined with the fact the Titans are rubbish away and Dragons have a very good record at WIN stadium, everything pointed towards a StGeorge victory...

Simon & Wright were the only 2 people to get at least 50% of the games right, whilst Dav, Bugs, Morgieb, Smith & Burgey only got 1. Seeing as Stedman, Pinchy & Matteh didn't put tips in last week, I've done what we're doing in the AFL one, and gave you a round 1 score equivalent to the lowest tipper. Have done the same for Nufan this round as well.
