Yeah that's absolutely stunning tbh. He's been incredible. 50 something tackles against the Dogs on Friday. He's been a machine for my DT

I do agree with you but half of the backrowers selected play similar games except Bird, Gallen, Watmough, Mason, Learoyd-Lahrs and Laffranchi. As long as you pick 2-3 of Lewis, Stewart, Creagh, Young and Waterhouse you got enough players that do a Hindmarsh type job and probably add more in attack. with the NSW backrow it is more about balance then the actual names.
Though with Johnson in England, there probably a good chance Queensland may pick some more wide-running backrowers that make 8 tackles i.e Dave Taylor.
Also not sure why the NSW City selectors didn't give Jon Sutton a run. He finally starting to look like 5/8 and they pick a centre on the bench, make no sence.

Burgey mentioned the need for a handicap, and for me tipping like feces appears to be what the doctor demanded. Good scores for Ripper and Craig, while NUFAN moves to within 1 point of the lead.

Nudge to dcye who failed to tip for the second consecutive round. Also it looks like Morgieb will drop out of the comp soon enough
As mentioned I wont be able to run the tipping comp for the next two weeks as I'm overseas. If someone wants to give a running update they're welcome to, (email musicisnotatoy at gmail dot com for the current version of the spreadsheet) however if not tip as usual, and I will compile the scores when I get back on the 18th May
Also what's everyone's thoughts on including the test match and City/Country?

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs. St George-Illawarra Dragons
Canberra Raiders vs. Melbourne Storm
Sydney Roosters vs. Newcastle Knights
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles vs. Parramatta Eels

Should be back by round 11, but not sure if I'll be in a fit state to post any tips as I get back the Friday.

Smith Laughs at Salary Cap Increase
Getting really tired of this to be honest. Why league players think they are ENTITLED to be paid more is beyond me. They say 'oh, look at what other sportsmen get". That's like a suburban accountant (of which I am one) looking at one of the 'big four' accounting firms in the City and saying "look at what those accountants get". It's ludicrous.
The rugby league players need to learn that they will get paid in proportion to what the game generates. There's no way any league player will get $800 000 like Judd or Brown because, guess what? The game that those guys play is followed nationally and rakes in hundreds of thousands more than what League does.
Besides, I heard a stat tonight that NRL players get 23% of the Australian league pie, while AFL players get just 19%. So, whatever way you spin it, the league boys are on a decent wicket. They should also realise that guys who earn $500 000 a year are never going to win a PR battle by complaining that they are underpaid.

And geez Hayne, who I love as a player, looked like an arse on the back page of the paper today saying that "I could walk away from the game at the conclusion of my contract because of the salary cap restrictions".
FFS he has just signed a four year $2 million deal. The earliest he can 'walk away' from league is 2014. And if you're walking away with $2 mllion in your back pocket, I don't think the punters are going to exactly feel your pain.

Long contract didn't phase SBW, tbf.
Hayne could be like gold dust in France too because, if his Fijian connections are solid enough to qualify for a passport he'd be entitled to Kolpak status, so won't be classed as an overseas player.

Not Everyone Has Friends Who Will Stump up $850 000 for breach of contract though.
It's a clear breach of contract if Hayne were to walk out. Consequently, he would liable for massive damages.
