Fantastic from the Titans tonight. So good to see Manly lose after leading well.

**** I hate that club. If they played Canterbury in a Grand FInal it's be like trying to choose between terminal cancer and ebola.

A good NBA, NFL, MLB or top player from EPL/La Liga/Serie A earns more in a week than a rugby league player does in a year. Even the AFL has a $7.95 million salary cap that is much more lenient than the NRL's.
I'm not really sure how that relates to the NRL's situation. The salary cap may or may not be too low, but what guys earn in those sports bears no relation to what can be afforded by NRL clubs.

Was tempted to put $100 on Titans when it was 22-12. So pissed off that I kept my money in my pocket.

Not sure how to score you here Craig. I should have picked it up earlier, but you didn't actually tip the Raiders/Rabbits game.

Give me five points then. Since I correctly tipped the Bulldogs, Eels, Panthers, Dragons, and Storm to win.

Good week for Burgey and Clapo who both get 6. Have scored Craig at 5 pending appeal against alleged tipping cap breaches. Blewy and dcye fail to tip, and *99 drops out as per his request.

Also I wont be around to compile and score rounds 9 and 10, the City/Country and Aus/NZ test as I'm going overseas (Vietnam :)). Happy to fully recompile the scores when I get back, or if someone wants to do the honors for those 2 weeks let me know and I'll email you the round 8 version of the spreadsheet next Monday.

Can't bring myself to tip the Broncos regardless of anything. Also risky tipping Storm, depends on whether they're motivated or not.

Reckon Gallop's handled the whole thing extremely well, much like he always does btw. Really impressed with him.

Gus Gould on the other hand... gah.

Looks like Brisbane are set to lose Israel Folau.

Can't say I am terribly disappointed. With Hodges coming back next year (the best centre in the game), I reckon Folau is a bit superfluous considering (a) he takes up $400 000 of our cap (b) he has hardly set the world alight since he's been here. I mean, how many of those tries from cross field bombs (that he used to score in his sleep for Melbourne) has he scored for us? About six, I reckon. Be good to use that money to get Hennant back, and some more grunt in the engine room.

Tolman and Lima will be up for grabs, so if you don't get Hannant, then they would be two good grabs. As WRT to Folau, well I'm starting to see him as bit of a mercenary. Came up with the family reasons story so make his story look legit so he would go to Brisbane, but if Brisbane didn't offer him 400k a season, and say a Sydney club did, he would of signed for the Sydney club. GAGF.

My tips for the week:

Saturday May 1
Warriors vs Raiders
Titans vs Panthers
Cowboys vs Storm
Dragons vs Sharks

Sunday May 2
Wests Tigers vs Roosters
Rabbitohs vs Sea Eagles

I think it's a bit harsh labeling a footy player as a mercenary because they chose a 1m offer to switch codes. Who wouldn't change careers if offered a 600k per year pay rise? The NRL is just going to have to accept it will lose players if the ARU wants to stump up that kind of money.
