Yeah, if it was last year.

I could use a heap of people playing in England, but I can't be ****ed.

Neville Costigan playing both Front and Second Row? ITSTL

Ok, on the topic of players leaving clubs, this is a team of Raiders players still playing the NRL, apart from Carney. Can't think of another centre though;

1. William Zillman
2. Michael Robertson
3. Colin Best
4. Aadm Mogg
5. Bronx Goodwin
6. Todd Carney
7. Brett Finch
8. Ben Cross
9. Ryan Hinchcliffe
10. Brent Kite
11. Michael Henderson
12. Neville Costigan
13. Nathan Smith

14. Michael Hodgson
15. Nick Kouparitsas
16. Todd Payten
17. Luke Priddis

Coach: Neil Henry

Henderson never played for the Raiders, Kouparitisis never made first grade, Mogg plays in England and Kite never played first grade for Canberra either.

The point we were making was more about the quality of Broncos players that have left, 15 internationals or Origin reps. The only Rep players in that Raiders list other than Kite and Mogg are Luke Priddis, Brett Finch and Ben Cross.

What a guy.

And Finch is poo anyway, it's no wonder the Raiders didn't want him.

Round 20 Tips

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


Tigers to beat the Raiders is the game I'm least confident about solely on the basis of the match being in Canberra, but I thought the Tigers were fantastic last week, so I'll go them again.

Not very confident after back to back weeks of scoring 1. As long as Bulldogs, Cowboys and Raiders win I dont care about the rest.

Regretting getting tickets to this lopsided face-off.

We will see which Rabbitohs team that turns up. The team that turns up and can smash a team to pieces or the team that will show up and look like they never played a game of footy in their lives?

CW Tipping Ladder

2. Tozzer 83.03
3. NUFAN 83.03
4. luffy 82.04
5. Prince EWS 82.03
6. MrWright 82.02
7. Brumby 81.02

17. Burgey 73.01
18. James90 73.01
19. MorgieB 71.01
20. Blewy 66.02

In what was a pretty poor round of tipping, PEWS, Ausage & 99* topped with 5, whilst Jack and Ripper were the only other 2 to tip above 50% with 4. 3's for everyone else bar Wright, Morgie, and of course Simon, who has plummeted down the ladder tipping just 1 for the second week in a row. No tips again from Blewy (who is now 5 points behind second last), who i will drop from the ladder if I don't get any tips from him this week.

The last 7 rounds will be tight, as there are still 11 people within 4 points of top spot.

Oh, and thanks for tallying up etc. last week Brumby, especially for actually posting peoples scores for the round I was going to send you my spreadsheet (but obviously forgot), and was dreading having to count everyones scores all over again
