You could try using Chrome to do it.

I finally got it working on Chrome. @Drop Bear and @Old Scaley will be pleased!

Good outcome and kudos to @Angry51 and @ellicat - proof that NRL tipsters will go to great lengths to try to have someone below them in a tipping comp .........

We knew you could do it Greg.

I said to ellicat last week, " that Greg's a goer " and he agreed

with me.

Good onya mate.

[Hweebe]

Fingers crossed Reynolds actually makes the field for round 1. Positive covid test today.

[Old Scaley]

Better than a broken leg which was my tip for his pre-season injury.

[Gad]

Okay I'm registered... let's go 2022

I checked the women's form, throughout last Sunday 3 games, gee they're some hot form in their backs.... and it was good to see their forwards, in the games too

Looking at that article, it is amazing how many players are out on suspension. Melbourne has 5.

Wrap of NRLW Round 2 
Mares and fillies 28 v Dames 10... Titanides 26 v Hens 16...  Drakainas 10 v Eeletes 0

[ellicat]

Fair warning to everyone that the games start this Thursday, so get your tips in. Team lists will be out Tuesday. Tigers will beat Storm...you saw it here first.

[Gad]

Okay, here we go for 2022. 
As most will be aware NSW ( from our border down past Sydney and coastal inland areas) is at present having some major Qld type, rain event and devastating flooding that comes with these events. I'm sure all our thoughts are with those affected.
I've checked the NRL site and could not see any venue changes for any of the games this round. May I suggest with the continuing rain and flooding down there, we all keep an eye and ear out for the possibility of game venue changes.

Which ever way this goes I 'd have a wild guess and say the known mud larks are all in with a chance.
My big tip for Drop Bear and Greg. Storm, Storm, Storm they have never lost an NRL Round 1 game... YET 
 
Good luck to my fellow tipsters

[ellicat]

Has anyone tried the free 'Pick 'em' competition on the NRL site ?

With a $100K up for grabs each week, you'd be mad not to give it a go.

I'm going to win it this week, by the way. It is a shared prize so if you could wait until Round 2 that'd be appreciated.

[Angry51]

Gad, Was that Storm tip also for Brian.

Cause he'll probably tip the Tigers.

"silly fellow "

[Old Scaley]

Tips are in. Couldn’t help myself and went all the Qld teams. Still, the early rounds are always prone to upsets so who knows.

No, I would never encourage /guide/influence any one, from tipping their own team... after all, who am I to put doubt in the mind of some one who will be kneeling, hands clasped in front, pleading eyes looking to the heaven in desperation and hope....

Origin is still away off, but Wally's fired the first salvo

Has anyone had trouble signing up to this? The page isn't opening on my work computer and I've put all of my details into the sign up page on my phone but get nowhere when I click Join/Submit??

[GregOug]

Ah. Good to see. That $100 I paid to the tipping people is obviously working.

No dramas for me, Kelvin. I had some issues last year as the password requires you to use a symbol e.g. $ sign. Maybe give that a go.

Thanks Brian, I added a symbol but still no good. Seems to accept my details but when I then click on my preferred NRL team and click Next (or Submit or whatever the button is) it comes up with an error. Perhaps it doesn't like Broncos fans ....... .  I will try again tomorrow.

[Drop Bear]

What rhymes with habit and tastes delicious? 

[Angry51]

How do you fix a computer screen that has turned upside down?

Hang on!!! Drop Bear's at the top of the screen, I thought my screen was buggered.....

 

 

 

 

[kmcrosby78]

I am really regretting not doing proper research leading into the season like @ellicat ….. oh, hang on ….

[Angry51]

Yeah, he's like Coles,,,down,down,down,,,,

[ellicat]

Haha. I might be going to get my first zero !

[Angry51]

Don't worry, not doing so good myself,,

Saved by the Dragons @ellicat. I had the misfortune to watch most of that game. It was like watching the 2020 Broncos play the 2021 Broncos. Both teams did their best to lose.

Oh how I chuckled when I read this. Tigers beating the storm....... Tigers 10 storm 4 at half time.... 

 

[ellicat]

After the Storm found a loophole with the suspension of Cheese, I changed my tip to Storm. I thought we just needed to shut down Solomona and Hughes and we were a good chance. It worked in the first half but not the second. 5 tries to 4 against the Storm wasn't too hard to take though.

We certainly have made it easier for their next competitors with injuries to Welch, Smith and Jennings out for fair stretches.

I'm thinking Wally is a little over tired because of his media commitments and the new love life, and he was thinking of  Eric Grothe snr

Round One results

Thursday, March 10

Panthers 28  vs. 6 Sea Eagles

no Grand Final hang over for the black cats…

Friday, March 11

Raiders 24  vs  19. Sharks
This turned into an ify-ify ( that means boring at times, for me) grinding game, the Raiders came out of the blocks to hold an 18-6 lead at half time.
All up it was the usual type of performance both these teams, have offered over the last few seasons…
 Broncos 11  vs. 4 Rabbitohs
Well, that was an unexpected result for most…. just take a moment, and take in the fact…. both teams played without Reynold’s….

Saturday, March 12

Roosters 6  vs. 20 Knights
hmmm. another- fancy that result

Warriors 16  vs.  28 Dragons
it’s a bit hard for the Dragon’s fans to know what the season holds for them..  after al,l we all know the Warriors may or may not turn up on the day…

Tigers 16  vs. 26 Storm
Round 1.. the Storm, again!

Sunday, March 13

Eels 32  vs. 28 Titans
Coaching quote… ‘defence, defence, defence’!. entertaining viewing…
on that display, will the Titan fans be in for a good season 2022

Cowboys 4  vs. 6 Bulldogs
what to think….. I don’t know……

For me the 2 best viewing games played this weekend, were the NRL Eels 32 v 28 Titans and the NRLW Broncos 22 v 18 Dragons… both hard fought with plenty of talent and skills on display

[Gad]

here we go again... good luck

Can the Broncs back up a win against the doggies? Reynolds into the side as well.

If both teams play like they did last week, the broncs should win by 13+. The dogs were very lucky to scrape home against the cows, and the broncos played with unusual grit and determination. Reynolds will add game management and better 5th tackle options so they should improve over last week’s efforts.

I remember last season after each one of their very few wins i would be hyped and they would severely let me down with a dismal performance the week after. Will this be a more gritty and resilient broncos team? I like how Capewell brings some premiership and origin experience to the team.
