Thanks for setting up for 2024, e'cat.... I think I'm all signed up... and rearing to go.

The way last season turned out, this season is looking very interesting.... the clubs that were in freefall last season appear to be heading in that same direction this time around...
The clubs that started heading up last season appear to have strengthened their rosters and their next generation players have another NRL season's experience to build on.... except the Sharks, their fans have already added and turned on an extra porch light in hope of a 2nd coming in their lifetime....

With more depth, younger players given their chance and last season's experience.
I, like others, am expecting a more consistant run for the Dolphins.

Pre season challenge started last night with the Dogs defeating a mostly unheard of Storm side.
Tonight the Indigenous Allstars games are on, with the women first at 4.50pm AEST.
Time is ticking on the start of the season proper, so get signed up for the tipping comp.
Everyone welcome.

Ok. I am in. Will be using my usual strategy of blindly tipping all the QLD teams each week.  Worked well last year until the Dolphins ran out of puff, the Cowboys decided to underperform and the Titans….. well less said about them the better. Good luck guys. 

You deserve it! 🤪

Oh no, they’re all ganging up on me …. 🤔🤣🤪🤣

At your age I’d be concerned about your heart if that (highly unlikely) event manages to happen …. 🤪🤣

We all would be - it should be our collective mission.

I’ll be happy if I beat Kelvin too! 

It could be your year. As long as you beat Kelvin, I'll be happy.
As for the pin, I think it's not necessary if you follow the link.

Okay. Just joined. I’m sure you’re all shaking in your boots now. 
 
@ellicat, I didn’t seem to need any pin?

Well, it's already that time of year again. All Stars game is on in a fortnight on 16thh Feb.
I'll get the tipping comp up and running again over the next few days and post the details in this thread.
All members are free to join in.

If any one is interested I have a couple of boxes of old fishing magazines in excellent condition. The internet is convenient, however anyone who likes to feel paper between their fingers may be interested.
PM me if you are interested

Was hoping bellamy would take the job but madge will do. 2024 nsw 3-0

A few surprises, but a good looking first up team.

Thanks everyone. Yep, very excited at the game last night and I may have been guilty of counting my chickens before they hatched when we led 24-8 ….. 🙄🤪.
Hats off to Penrith - brilliant effort to come back and win and also obviously to seal their third straight premiership. Proud of the Broncos, very gallant in defeat and I’m sure they’ll be better for the experience next year. Looking forward to watching the replay when I get time. 

Thanks for organising @ellicat and for your insightful and informative updates @Gad. Congrats Kelvin! I will be back again next season supporting all the Qld teams as usual. 

Yeah, thanks Gad for your weekly updates and summaries. Always a good read and often humorous.

And Thanks to you Gad, without you putting up the teams/ venues and the scores we would all have been worse off.
Look forward to seeing you doing the same next season.🙂

Congrats Kelvin, another stand out AFO tipping season finish.

Thanks e'cat for again setting up the comp for us diehards.

Stay safe everyone, and we'll catch up at next season's kick of.
