**Official** NRL 2009 Thread

[99*]

Think the Knights have a very good match up, we've already beaten the Doggies without Gids and I'm sure Mullo was injured and we put them away by half time. (Of course we let them back in the second but we held on.)

Now they're without Noddy and don't look at all like the doggies earlier in the comp. Loving the fact we play them instead of the Titans at Skilled.

*Quick little point* Newcastle have beaten all of the top eight sides bar Parra this season. Not too bad going into the finals to see we can beat the best of them.

 

[Burgey]

Hmmm, very interesting.

Coincidence that Parra had nothing to play for and lost big? By contrast, in previous weeks it was sudden death and they fired up. Likewise, the Dragons had little to play for in the last few weeks (and lost), but had a top two spot to play for last Friday and won. I think psychology plays a huge part.

I wouldn't write Parra off.

If Parra beat Saints this week, I will disrobe and run backwards down Martin Place at 1pm the following Monday. Won't happen. Saints too good.

 

[Mister Wright]

Eels & Storm to go out after the first week.

How dare you predict Manly win? I thought you would support Melbourne and their various Queenslanders?

 

[Ausage]

I still can't believe Parra were ever close to title favoritism.

Reckon the Broncos and Eels will be the first teams out. (hopefully I can get rid of this damn avatar)

Nah. Hate Melbourne tbh. Bellamy's a wanker.

Fair enough.

Are you making the trip down to Skilled for the Titans - Broncos game? I'm going, I might have a few people coming with me.

Bit embarrassing at how much better I went at NRL tipping than AFL.

[Johnners]

Thanks to all who participated. It was good to see 18 people stick with it right through the season, compared to just 11 in 2008

 

[NUFAN]

Well done Clapo! What was the final margin between first and second?? I really needed Sharkies to win, ah well.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, fair play to Clapo. 4th's respectable enough. A season of consolidation after the glory of 2008.

 

[Johnners]

Sorry, though I'd put the scores up as well. Edited in now, final margin was 3 points though. I had it wrapped up Saturday night thanks to the Rabbits last minute try, didn't think it was appropriate to let you all know then however

 

[BoyBrumby]

Knew I was ****ed when Souths & Manly got up, so CBA to change any of Sunday's tips to force a result.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, cool. I've just had an email from Sportal to say I've won their Fantasy NRL Team Based Game and an iPhone.

Only scunner is I'm pretty sure I have to be an Oz resident to claim it.

Sounds like one of those "good and bad news" jokes.

Do you know anyone in Australia? You could always just send it to them and have them mail it through to you when it arrives. TBH, even if you don't, I'd it for you.
