Tigers v Dragons
Bulldogs v Cowboys
Titans v Warriors
Roosters v Sharks
Raiders v Storm
Eels v Broncos
Knights v Rabbitohs

Third week in a row I'm tipping Easts. Will rage hard if they lose again, but would have raged harder if I finally jumped off them and they won. No Anasta so the chances of rage are high.

Oh...please...I can't handle the Broncos losing 4 in a row.

I've had the Dogs as my pick for Premiers for a few months now. Tonight just confirmed to me that they're the best, most consistent side in the comp.

Apart from the Dragons that is.

Both teams a world apart from the rest atm.

I still think when it comes down to the hard work in September Cowboys will be amongst it too. I know they've had a few problems playing away etc... But I think they can be up there still.

I think Melbourne is starting to show a lot more consistentcy, but the Bulldogs and Dragons are a lote better footy. I'm impressed with the Titans so far, although Rogersand Harrison are out of tomorrow's game with the Warriors.

So glad I stayed true.

WTF? How'd the Sharks lose to those ****s?

Cause Sharks aren't much better themselves.

Canberra starting out strong to take a 14-4 lead into half time. Canberra's defending to let Cameron Smith score was about as soft as NSW's when Israel Folau scored on Wednesday night.

 

[Burgey]

Currently at Paraa Stadium with the family. $40 for 4 tickets good value, for what may end up a 0-0 draw.

 

[luffy]

Raiders up 20-4 now.

Typical.

 

[Simon]

20-10 with 19 to go. Pretty sure I was the only one to tip Canberra, its still anyones game though.

 

[luffy]

Storm are starting to look good, but we'll see if Raiders can hold on.

EDIT: ****. 20-14 with kick to come.

Make it 20-16.

 

[Simon]

Not looking good now. Although Raiders are still looking like scoring.

 

[Craig]

Congratulations Canberra. I thought Melbourne got a few harsh calls against them, but that is no excuse, the Raiders were simply the better team and how good was Terry Campese out there? He made so many big plays in both attack and defence. I thought Josh Duggun had a strong game as well. TLL had a pretty strong game. However, is it me or is Adam Blair starting to look like Guy Sebastian with his afro?

 

[Simon]

Campo really showed he can perform in the big games. Hes still injured and probably needs a few weeks off but I dont think thats going to happen. If TLL isnt playing in game 3 then the NSW selectors arent fair dinkum.
Dugan is a future rep star, that was easily his best game in the top grade.

 

[luffy]

And now Raiders will lose by 40 next week.

 

[Simon]

And now Raiders will lose by 40 next week.

Naa Raiders are certainties next week, home team always wins Raiders vs Titans games.

 

[luffy]

Well, if we're too reliant on stats, Raiders shouldn't have won today seeing as they hadn't beat the Storm for 7 years.
