Saturday, April 7  results

Tigers 11  v  10 Storm 

Guess who picked the TIGGERS 

One maybe two, too many seasoned internal cogs have had to be replaced over the last 2 seasons at the Storm.. Bellamy will rebuild the motor during this first half of the season. Cowboys should not have upped their original offered price to keep Scott.

Warriors 22  v  12 Cowboys

Warriors 5/5!!!  Cowboys 1/5???

my keyboard thoughts: the future up and coming Cowboy stars, that carried them through the last half of the 2017 season, are already showing post 2017 season burn out stress. Along with this, Thurston`s injury time out last season has not solved his complex shoulder problems and has let the mental ageing process catch up with his ageing injury racked body process?

Knights 15   v  10 Broncos

Well played Knights

Broncos what can one say about them at present.. Broncos, what can one say at present: Big body, short legs, ok for slow  short course, Shetland pony club gallops.

Capt, fullback playing with post injury restrictioned recovery form. So much senior matured experience missing, that comes about by having to throw many into the deep end all at once, because of necessity and not by experienced maturing choice/form.

Improvement will come... when ???

Titans 32  v  20 Sea Eagles

This week, Com Games and Titans - Gold Coast... glowing. Manly and Northern Beaches... crying.

Eels 6  v  12 Panthers

Die hard Parra fans thought they saw a glimmer of hope during this game, Panthers fans saw a lowered level 3rd placed team struggle, playing against 16th placed Eels..

[Old Scaley]

Geez @ellicat, you are having a golden run with your tipping! You must have picked a couple of the upsets this weekend to get 7. Which one did you miss?

[ellicat]

Haha, I missed the Tigers. D'oh!

[Old Scaley]

That is hilarious Brian, tipping some crazy upsets and then not tipping your own team.

[natang]

Ellicat i learnt from you not to go against the tigers!!!! I was with you the whole way til i chamged to manly 10mins before kick off! Nathan trust your gutt dumbass I said to myself!!!!!

[Old Scaley]

I have changed my tips at the last minute a lot this year and it hasn’t worked out for me once.

[kmcrosby78]

Just noticed I get the away team - go the Bunnies!!!!  

[kmcrosby78]

I honestly can't believe some of you clowns tipped against the Bunnies - it was obvious after their gutsy performance last week against the Dragons that they would win this week ..........

Broncos have been foxing and will smash the Storm this week..... 

Cowboys are going to romp it it. They have been a bit shell shocked so far but are about to show some NQ spirit... I hope...

[Gad]

After Bennett giving utility Nikorima the flick for last week, and the Storm still coming to terms with how much unseen things Cronk took with him to the Roosters, while their aura is rebuilding I`ll tip the Broncos, even though the Storm has a very good record at Suncorp.

Where the Cowboys are concerned, I have more faith in the Titans losing than of the Cowboys winning. I tipped the Cowboys hoping that their fans reaction from the last round game, will have more affect than the media`s bagging of Thurston.

[Old Scaley]

Late mail. Johnston out of the Warriors team tonight. Should really change my tip to the Dragons now but since that hasn’t worked for me all season I will leave it on the Warriors. That is a pretty good reason for all you smart tipsters to back the Dragons. 

Go the Broncos.

[Drop Bear]

Lets go Broncos! I don't really have anything intelligent to add. sorry... Is that Wally Lewis? runs away while you are all looking...

I bloody changed mine because of this. Watching on my phone in a gig regretting changing AGAIN........

[natang]

I think this round will be tough... Titans v Cowboys they both suck at present but hopefully GAD is right!

[kmcrosby78]

I changed my tip for the Broncos v Storm game - decided to listen to my 6yr old son (that and it's been raining). Could be a good omen for the Broncos ........

[natang]

Melbourne used to rain though......

Friday, April 20  results

Warriors 20 v  12 Dragons

Score says it all... Warriors beat Dragons

Broncos 20  v  34 Storm

Storm won at Suncorp Stadium again!

[Drop Bear]

We was robbed i tells ya governor!

I need a hug.... 

[Old Scaley]

Both were great games. Storm and Warriors were red hot. Worst refereeing decision of the year by Ashley Klein for awarding a try to a player who was busy telling everyone that he dropped the ball and didn’t score a try. Back to reserve grade Ashley (and the bunker).

well yep that was a drop kick. Good try billy.

So I guess that means that about 50% of drop balls in the future will be ruled as drop kicks not knock ons?  Every butter-fingered player who drops the ball will do their best to get a boot to it and hope a team mate can regather. What a crock of sh#t.

[kmcrosby78]

Yep, Alfie Langer managed to get all his tries without the ball hitting the ground before his foot ......... Will probably be the only time this year a player is telling his teammates it's a no try and then it gets awarded .....
