Tragedy that Lockyer is out for tomorrow.

Hope Hunt plays at fullback, with Slats from the bench.

Reckon Hunt is gonna start at 6 and Prince be on the bench.

Considering that happened last time, it'll probably happen this time.

Secretely death-riding Prince, but hoping for a Qld victory.

It's a tough juggling act. lol

Just so sick of people exaggerating his ability.

Starting to get sick of Bellamy - I've had a bellyful.

He carries on like he's god's gift to coaching.

Have a look at the cattle he has - he should get good results.

Not too displeased with Melbourne losing 18-0 to the Titans. Away to the Titans and with 10 players on Origin duty (and Will Chambers gone for the season), it could of been a carve up Sea Eagles v Roosters style, but it wasn't. Although it is crap Melbourne doesn't have a bye along with the Titans and watch each other go mano - e - mano at Skilled next week with both sides at full strength, now that would be a contest.

Good one NRL.

Round 13 Results

Mr Wright - 58
Boy Brumby - 58
Morgieb - 57
James90 - 56
DCYE - 56
Burgey - 56
Tozzer - 55
Chaminda_00 - 54
Clapo - 53
Simon - 51
99* - 51
Matteh - 40

Wright finally has a poor round, which enables everyone bar Simon (who also tipped 3) catch up 2-3 points. The only match that no-one tipped correctly was, no surprises here, the Rabbitohs getting up over the Warriors. Everyone tipped the Titans game correctly though, which wasn't that hard really, given the Storm had 10 of their top 17 missing.

Round 14: 13-16 June 2008
Roosters vs. Panthers
Sharks vs. Warriors
Raiders vs. Broncos
Wests Tigers vs. Eels
Cowboys vs. Knights

How would the NRL have known that Titans would be at the top of the table at this time of year? Better than them having a Storm v Broncos game.

Well they did give them a million home games at the start of season, surely they thought they would be up there atleast with the draw they gave them.

Should just hurry up and make Origin a stand alone event. Have said it before, and will say it again, it's ridiculous that a team should be disadvangted by having 10 players out due to a match that has absolutely no bearing on the NRL competition.

My lord, there are so many obvious things like that which can improve rugby league...yet they never get implemented. It would be great if rep players only had to play once each week during a season. I've said it before that Channel Nine need rugby league much more than league needs Channel Nine, and yet the networks also seem to take precedence.

Thirstin' (pardon the pun) for this.

Hope they play Thunderstruck.

Go Qld.

Just smash 'em.

Turner hope your enjoying this match, cus it is going to be your last. Don't think even Grothe could have done worse.

Inglis pretty gun so far, awsome stuff from a pure fans POV. Doing well to not be 30-40 behind IMO.
