W/TIGERS v's SHARKS
Hard game to pick to start the round as the sharks beat the panthers before S.O.O 1 without Kimmorely, and at penrith,but have struggled twice since then [with him] the tigers have also struggled the last 2 weeks and their record at campbelltown is poor. Tip ,SHARKS by 6
RAIDERS v's BRONCOS
The raiders have Woolforde and Chifcoske back, while the broncos have a few missing to the origin game and these games are normally close with 7 of the last 10 being by less than 10 points[ except for 2 games, R 25 in 2001 & R25 2002,both being in QLD,winning 1 each]. Tip ,RAIDERS BY 10
KNIGHTS v's EELS
Should be a straight forward win to the eels against a depleted knights, but before the 1st s.o.o the eels stuggled to score points at home against manly, winning 18-12, that and complacency are there only dangers, both the eels and knights have 5 wins each from their last 10 clashes with only 1 flogging in that time, eels winning 40-0 in 2001 before losing the G/F, the knights have won 3 of the last 4 at home against the eels,losing 18-16 last year with a few players out also ?Tip EELS by 14
SOUTHS v's MANLY
Manly without Kennedy and co. before s.o.o 1 struggled also for points losing to the eels, also away from home, could find this a tough game against the Rabbits, Tipping an upset, RABBITS by 10
WARRIORS v's STORM
The warriors had an easy win before the 1st origin smashing souths ,whilst the storm were beaten at home by a out of form bulldogs,and with no Slater,Smith,King and Hill i cant see nothing but a warriors win, Tip WARRIORS by 18
DRAGONS v's COWBOYS
This one is 50-50 also with the dragons scraping in 18-16 against a depleted the knights [away] before origin1 ,with cowboys having the bye,with 11 players out between them it could go either way,the cowboys won by 2 pts last year at origin time at win stadium , looks like it could be won in the forwards so a slight leaning to the cowboys .
