4/7 for me, still leading my tipping comp, pretty hard week this one with a few upsets.

Its amazing the difference that Johns and Benji make to their sides. I guess the Warriors can start their season now, their out of the negatives.

Orford starting to fit into the Sea Eagles pretty well know, good signs in our win over the Roosters.

 

[Mister Wright]

God Damn! From 7 to 2 tips in the space of the week. How quickly the mighty have fallen...There's always next week.

 

[BoyBrumby]

My tips as entered into Kyle's comp:

Cowboys
Sharks
Panthers
Sea Eagles
Storm
Knights
Dragons

Gone for Manly as this week's token upset tip. They can't keep playing horrible & the Roosters keep starting awfully. I'm hoping @ Brookvale Manly will be outta sight before they wake up.

4/7 this round. Bloody Johns....

Chuffed I called Manly tho.

 

[chaminda_00]

BTW guys is Johns out for a while or was it just he didn't pull up will before the game?

4/7 for me. Plugging away at the moment.

NRL site says "minor neck injury", but he's had neck probs before, so make of that what you will....

It's unrelated to his previous injury, apparently. Happened when he was doing weights earlier on in the week.

Sensational player.

just this week, but with neck injuries you never can tell...

Good to see the Sunday Roast back on Channel Nine yesterday morning. Can't stand Matt Johns, though - an arrogant piece of work. His bagging out of Shane Webcke yesterday was ordinary. The only thing nice about him is Reg Reagan.

i dont mind Matty, was good to see TK back on the box though, i always wondered what happened to him, hes an excellent league commentator, Nine could do a lot worse than give him a fulltime contract to help their quite pathetic league coverage...

Phil Gould's an absolute joke though. The sooner he goes the better! Did anyone hear him arguing with Rabs in the Dragons v Broncs game? Dead set tool, lucky Warren burned him.

For sure. TK used to read the sports news for Channel Ten here in Brisbane. He then called league for a few years on Optus. Now he's bobbed up again. Top bloke. Likes a laugh.

 

[Burpey]

I don't rate TK at all. Ever listened to the Big Sports Breakfast, hosted by himself and Richard Freedman? An absolute joke of a show: wrong facts, ludicrous claims, bias.

However, he was a champion back in the day on Optus. I used to love watching Reserve Grade on the box in 1997. The only positive from Super League

apparently hes going to be on SR all season, a shame Paul Kent wont be on there cause he puts MG in his place, but Kennedy is an ideal replacement...

I'm glad someone at Channel Nine put Paul Kent in his place

what? Paul Kent was good on the Sunday Roast, the main reason he's not on it this year is because of his role with the telegraph has changed, hes not working on League so much any more as he is other sections...

Yeah Kent was great. His arguing with MG last year was funny. MG hardly ever talks sense and couldn't stand Kent's opinions because he believes that you can only comment on Rugby League if you have played the game at a high level.

Judiciary charges today were pretty interesting, Billy Slater is looking at 6 weeks, 7 if he fights and loses, he deserves every one of them, u cant just go around kicking people. Scott Hill is looking at 3 weeks, a few others like Lolesi, Robinson will all get a week, same with Simon Woolford, however loading from previous offences may mean he'll get 2...

 

[Burpey]

Lolesi = lucky. Who cares if it might have been shoulder? Truly wreckless.
