Wally Lewis - Rabbitohs > Brisbane this week as his tips for this week.

I suppose given that the Rabbitohs have had some near misses in recent times and the Broncos have lost players to Origin, they could sneak up with an upset so I can see his logic.

Broncos will win. We still have a pretty strong forward pack; Webke, Thorn, Parker, Carlaw and Stagg. and it isn't like we're short in the backs either; Two-try Toupu, MacGuire, Bott and Boyd.

He also went Eels > Melbourne, although Melbourne are weakened with Origin and suspension etc.

It was funny when Melbourne smashed Newcastle 52-6 and there were doubts over Johns playing or not, he went Knights > Melbourne :laugh:

After the two of thrashings Melbourne has handed out to Brisbane in 1999 and 2005, he tends to tip against them...:laugh:

we havent tipped that many different Greg, i think Origin players missing will have a huge impact, some might argue that Roosters missing Finch and Anasta might make them stronger, maybe, but im still not tipping them :p

The shocking thing about this week is that all 14 teams can win if they have a good game. The hardest one for me to decide on was the Bulldogs v Raiders game. Bulldogs have a few big guys out for origin, but their backline is still sparkling. If the Raiders had of had Jason Smith playing I may have decided to tip for them. Cowboys v Sharks is the other tough one. I'm going with my gut and going for the Sharks. I'll need all the luck in the world to get a tip this week.

Carney is playing better than Jason Smith was before he got injured, Carney has to be the permenant number 6 now, when Michael Dobson comes back from Wigan he should slot into the 7 next year and Withers to hooker when Woolford goes to the Dragons.

Yeah Ive changed to the Tigers - damp conditions; better forward pack; need to win; potent halves. Anyway, how hungry are the Cowboys going to be!! They'll be absolutely ravenous! Matty Bowen bouncing back for a five try blitz. He might score a few in the second half too!

i didnt even remember the NRL was on last night, got caught up in the excitement of the World Cup, at least the Broncos match finishes at 11pm then the England match against Paraguay starts straight after that.
