Nate Myles facing 6-8 weeks as well for his dangerous throw on Ben Cross.
:laugh:

Myles looks like a caveman. Not saying this to cast aspersions on his personality mind you and I'm sure it could be said of other players as well. He has a dwarf's head on a normal person's body.

Round 16 Results

Boy Brumby - 71
James90 - 70
Mr Wright - 70
Morgieb - 69
Burgey - 69
Clapo - 68
Chaminda_00 - 68
DCYE - 67
Tozzer - 66
99* - 63
Simon - 62

Brumby takes the sole lead, and records the only real position change after a rather uninspiring round of tipping. No-one tipped the Warriors, which was no big surprise, only 2 tipped the Roosters, and iirc only 1 tipped the Sharks. *99 suffered the worst though, only scoring 2 compared to 3's and 4's from the rest.
Doubt Clapo is going to even count the scores up, but anyway:


Sea Eagles
Dragons
Storm
Panthers
Bulldogs
ITSTL :p

So glad I made the decision to head down to enemy territory for the deciding game. It was a fantastic game, and there was plenty of atmosphere. Very interesting to see the difference in stadium's between Suncorp and ANZ. Suncorp definitely has more of a 'cauldron' feel, whereas ANZ is just massive and impressive in it's own way.

The game was amazing, and we certainly looked a better side at the start with both Prince and Thurston on the field, however we found a way to win, and that is what QLD is all about, and JT - he's just something else.

Will be a game I will always remember, and the best part was heading down to the front of the stand for the lap of victory to a pretty much empty stadium with all the wonderful Queenslanders left.

Great, great feeling. Can't wait to head down in two years time for our 5th straight series win.

30 is a pretty high cut off for the 8. It was only 24 last season. It's good though, means the better teams are more evenly matched which we all want to see. Last year was kinda boring as we all knew the Storm would win it....This season there are quite a few genuine contenders.

I know I'm not part of the tipping comp, but...

Titans v Sea Eagles - No Bailey, No Prince - No Titans. Will lose at home for the second time this season.
Knights v Dragons - The Dragons' flukey winning streak has to end soon. How lucky have they been with Origin this year? Playing the Broncos, Storm and Titans without their Origin stars. Beat the Roosters, however it was easily the worst performance the Roosters have turned in this season. They have been lucky this season, very lucky.
Storm v Raiders - Raiders won't touch them in Melbourne
Eels v Panthers - Tough one, but the Eels played like pus last week and I want to see a young Penny side get up. Lachlan Coote is a legend is a junior from my local club.
Bulldogs v Rabbitohs - Geez this game'll be crap. The Rabbitohs should be ashamed that they only managed to scrape a win against the worst NRL side ever fielded last week while at full strength...They'll have their tails up though, and should win it I suppose.
