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.

 

try to imagine how the ever loyal Doggie and Warrior fan feels... season after season, after season  at least the Bronco's fans have only had to suffer utter heart break for 2 seasons since 1988...  

here we go again... good luck

Not sure how Eric Grothe snuck into the team ahead of Brent Tate  

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

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

Gad, Was that Storm tip also for Brian.

Cause he'll probably tip the Tigers.

"silly fellow "

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.... 

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

Evening Sunny boy,  I'm guessing that these rainy days are not your kind of days....
My piscatorial reel arsenal is made up of Okuma spinners and br's, Shimano spinners and baitcasters, ABU Ambassadeur overheads and Alveys...  daiwa reels and I had a rocky relationship in the late 70's-early 80's so parting was never regretted 
I'm not a reel servicing guru, so my in side reel services are very basic ones, clean out and regrease/oil, bearing, cogs, shafts etc.  
all my Okumas have phillips head screws for getting into the workings

https://www.reelschematic.com/reel-schematics/okuma-reel-schematics/

hope this is of some help to you

Howdy ubnt... I've bought Okuma reels in sizes 20-80 (2000-8000) since the mid 2000's. I have 2 of their 60 size bait feeders/runners, that I bought around 2010, that are still running great...  a rinse and clean after use, along regular 6-12 month home services the Okuma range is a bang for buck reel....
The only bad reports I've heard of any Okuma reel has been from those who have never bought/used one and/or by the Richard who abuses every thing he buys and can not reason that everything has it's pre- crap itself limit 

NRL trials start this week end

GO the mighty Dolphins.... oops, I got ahead of my self there 

Thanks e'cat, for setting up this years tipping comp, I'll be in again. as soon as I finish checking out the winter olympics form of the ladies, I'll register.... I must admit, I'm finding it hard to fully appreciate their form with all that bulky winter gear they wear

...... does everyone have a new favourite female Italian player .......... .

Nah. I don't have favourites, I enjoy the form of all the female players.... from the way they gently hold and massage the 2 balls in one hand to select one, the stretch for the power serve, and the following grunts.... for some reason, the men's side of it just doesn't hold the same interest for me...

'Happy Australia Day!'... hmmmmm, I guess the 'Happy' bit depends on which side of the barbed wire divide...
Thanks Hamish, I am and the same wish to you and all AFO's

Welcome SteveO. I'm not familiar with the area you are in, but in saying that may I suggest you wear your a bl**dy mask!.
just joking  I think
I'm sure with the members on here some will be along to offer you good first hand intel on the area

 while bearing in mind Greg's opening service shot, smack bang down the centerline, t'is with caution and trembling trepidation that I offer... I hope all and families had an enjoyable and safe Chrissy, and wish the same for the coming year...
if it's not so, blame the blues they're the spreaders of bad tidings (I've got over the Wuhan connection)

When asked how many hooks per line in Qld, Google tells me

"Up to three fishing lines are permitted consisting of a total of six hooks. An artificial fly, lure, bait jig or gang hook is considered equal to one hook. A cross line, drum line, free-floating line or set line is not included as a fishing line. You must be present with the line at all times."

So if you consider a deep dropper as a set line then it doesn't seem to matter ??

Ok, the way the regs are set out they talk to the individual rec fisho... as obvious as the danglers on a Brahman bull 
So, I am allowed to fish with up to 3 lines.. rods, hand lines etc with a total of 6 hooks. each rod, handline etc is considered/looked upon as a 'line'
What are not classed as rec fishing lines are cross lines, drum lines, free-floating lines or set lines, therefore they are illegal to use

2022 NRL DRAW
https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/details-leaked-about-16year-first-in-2022-nrl-draw/news-story/2a1b240445e2b8e28aff8411a0b44023

The Sunshine Coast takes in a large area as per 'fishing wise' south of Caloundra to north of Noosa and points east of them...
I lived in Noosaville in the late 80's early 90's, in those times I regularly found good jack numbers between the ferry site going over to North Shore and the mouth of the first lake up river. Also in Weyba creek from the wooden pedestrian bridge at Weyba creek conservation/bridge park up to the area around the Eenie creek bridge, this area I fished from a yak.
Good catches of flatty and whiting are/were found around the mouth/frying pan area with the bonus of good sized grunter bream available along the mangroves of the point leading into The Woods bay... early crack of dawns tide phases also brought on good size trevally in the bay area.... 
Obviously that was 30 odd years ago but with the structure around those areas results should be there if one works it to the productive tidal phases. 
Pop into a local tackle/bait shop up that way and buy some hooks etc and ask what's the go for fishing locally up there.
