Simon, Wright & Brumby have managed to grab themselves an early break, each scoring 6 for the round. *99 had a shocker though, tipping only 2 correctly. Not tips from Nufan & Bugs again. If you miss the first 2/3 games, you can still put in tips for the remaining games in the round.

Storm/Broncs is a head-scratcher, but I can't see 3 defeats on the bounce for Melbourne. Be about as many as they lost last year all told.

Remaining rock-solid on my Dragons tho. Staunch, me.

Neil Henry apparently, I doubt he's going to have many problems getting a release from Canberra as a lot of Raiders players "apparently" wouldn't be too sad to see him leave,

Henry's looking to go to North Queensland apparently.

He will leave the Raiders at the end of the season after getting a release, was pretty obvious this was going to happen.

Dragons for the spoon.

 

[Simon]

Dragons for the spoon.

hmm Wayne Bennett has coached in the NSWRL/ARL/SL/NRL for 22 years and missed the finals three times and its fair to say hes a slightly better coach than Nathan Brown who hasn't managed to pick up a wooden spoon, so I can't see Bennett doing any worse...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I meant this year. There'll be nothing in it for Brown.

Next year with Wayne I'd back them for the top 8.

Next year with Wayne I'd back them for the top 8.

ah ok, thats understandable, be surprised if Brown see's out the year anyway.

 

[Craig]

He will leave the Raiders at the end of the season after getting a release, was pretty obvious this was going to happen.

David Furner is going to be the new coach for Canberra next year. WHat is his coaching record like Simon?

 

[chaminda_00]

Hopefully Matai and Vaealiki are injuried for the rest of season. We might just be able to make to 8.
