Yeah, I know tipping the Sharks is risky, but meh.

Changing to Roosters due to their dominant record against Cowboys & Bowen/Thurston unavaliable.

EDIT: Changing to Broncos as well. Broncos are due for a win and the Sharks are missing Barrett, Gallen & Tupou.

Real up-tempo start from Penrith here. Interesting to see if they can keep it up now it's 6-6.

Don't see why it's such a surprising tip - hell, you tipped them yourself.

They may be decimated but I've been hearing about Copley and especially Ben Hunt for over a year now, and I've actually seen a bit of Hunt and was impressed. Reckon they'll do fine. Cronulla are dire even at full strength and Barrett, Gallen and Tupou all are out.

Penrith doing their best ti piss this away in the 2nd half, despite that last try, but what's with the Dogs 1st halves? 20-0 down to Newcastle, behind against the Swine Flu last week and struggling vs a below strength Panther outfit tonight.

Not premiership material despite winning tonight.

Andrew Ryan did his best to help Penrith get on top early, really should have been ahead at half-time imo.

If we win by more then five points this week, we are in the top 8. Haha crazy season.

Don't think there is one side close to premiership material. Reckon it will come down to who hot in the last month.

I think we've all banged on someone else's hotel room door, barely clothed, in the early hours of the morning.

Yeh this exactly, its 2005 all over again. No team can claim to be the best really its just a matter of who will play the best when it counts. Which makes me think actually that its going to be Dragons and Cowboys come the business end as they have the coaches/key players to be there when the big moments are to be won.

Not sure about the key players, when it comes to the Dragons. Don't think Soward/Hornby is premiership winning halves combo. But if Bennett can win a premiership with Perry at half back, then it could win it with anyone even Robson. I do get a sence that both Bulldogs, Dragons and Boncos peaked a bit early and now everyone worked out their 'new' game. They need to change it around a lot before they become predicatable.

Cowboys are my bet. Neil Henry reminds me a lot of CB and Hasler. His got his own style and just need a group of players that were half decent and he could put together a premiership team.

Yeah, I'm with ya Tharmi. Think the Cows can go far.

St. George should get found out soon, IMO their attacks way to reliant on Soward.
