Pool may well jackpot over $1,000,000 this week. I have got my money on:

Eels 1-10 / 11-20
Panthers 1-20 / 11-20
Sarks 1-10 / Broncos 1-10
Storm 11-20
Bulldogs 11-20
Manly 1-10 / 11-20 / Souths 1-10
Dragons 1-10

2x2x2x3 = $24

Chuck,

Click on 'User CP' at the top of the page, then go to 'Edit Options'. Then go down to 'Date and Time Options' and use the 'DST Correction Option'. That might get you back on the right time.

One of the winners took a $1 mystery bet, according to Sydney's The Daily Telegraph. And the fool doesn't even know that he has won it. I'm not exactly sure about the numbers, but for a pool of 161k could you not select a few thousand combinations and have it covered? Are you allowed to do that?

Very interesting that someone got it on a mystery Mercurial.
To take every combination(including draws) with 7 games would cost $823,543. To take all combinations without draws would cost $279,936.
So very rarely would you make money by covering all combinations.
