Last Man Standing: NRL 2009-2013

[Burgey]

**** me, Newcastle are the real deal this year. Beaten every side in the top 4 unless I'm mistaken.

To beat the Dogs with no Gidley, McManus, Simpson or Patterson is a great effort, particularly Gidley.

Think Knights are the only option.

 

[Mister Wright]

Cowboys

 

[NUFAN]

Might change my mind if say Jamie Lyon gets injured on Wednesday night, but at the moment.
Manly Sea Eagles for the win.

After the end of the round, how about if we can follow the same new rule that's going on with AFL?

 

[Mister Wright]

Which is?

Not tipping against the bottom team? Interesting you say that when no one has done that this week.

Dont think its neccesary in this LMS as we only have 3 left standing after 2 weeks/

I only said that to start from next round if it generates interest. It would make things interesting, that's all.

I've no objections if people want to bring it in, but given the unpredictable nature of the NRL this year I don't know that we need to make tipping harder...

I'll get in very early and pick Bulldogs because if I didn't I'm pretty sure Kyle would have.

 

[Mister Wright]

Bulldogs

 

[alternative]

He still picks Bulldogs. Hmmm...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, poor form IMHO. Renders the round pointless to all intents.

Lol! Slow down Cowboy. Didn't read Nufan's post - just posted.

Will go Raiders.

However, in the style of 1930 NRL Grand Finals I reserve the right to a rematch if beaten. Will be happy with a Rock/Scissors/Paper challenge.
