EELS/PANTHERS ...Fair dinkum what are we going to see here, surely the panthers cant be discraceful 4 weeks in a row, if they play 30% better than last week that might be enough to get the cash against the poor eels. Or could the home crowd fire them up in the local derby???? Lottery....TIP....PANTHERS

STORM/BRONCOS....mmm ,The storm back at home should improve again , but still missing their front rower in chan, young white goes ok but the broncos have webcke, civoneceva and thorn in the same pack and playing strong and for that reason i will tip them. I think they will out muscle melbourne in the early exchanges , which will aloow lockyer, hunt , tate to put a few tries on....TIP...BRONCOS.

COWBOYS/KNIGHTS....The only way the knights can get a victory here is if the cowboys bus driver takes a wrong turn to the ground and ends up in cairns while all the players and coach are asleep...TIP,...COWBOYS

RAIDERS/DRAGONS..... Very tough game to pick as saints are desperate and the raiders are at home and unbeaten , and will look to continue the good start so early in the year. I would love to see canberra win as the saints to me are abunch of show ponies, got a feeling saints will win but im going to tip canberra through the brillance of Jason smith...TIP.....CANBERRA

SHARKS/DOGS.... My gut feeling is that the dogs wont win untill o,meley returns, in saying that i cant remember them losing 3 in a row. Will be very tough to go to shark park and get the 2 points against the gummies who play on so much enthusiasm down there. If the sharks are within 2-4 points with 20 to play they will win.....TIP.....SHARKS

WARRIORS/RABBITS....U would think the warriors will win this after the absolute pizzling they have copped in the press over in NZ all week.From all reports they have been punished heavily front page of the papers and on radio.....I will make them specials due to that fact...TIP....WARRIORS

ROOSTERS/TIGERS...mmm Will tip the roosters due to ricky stuarts track record of getting his side ready to play after a loss. I think the return of finch will give them good direction and that should be the difference. Could either be close if the tigers can withstand that up in ur face style defence the roosters adopt, but if they dont the chooks could win by 20 odd..TIP......ROOSTERS

BEST BET......Back the warriors at the line into the cowboys at the line for around 3.40-3.60, very good value, the knights will need 20 and they only get 11, and the warriors are only giving 5-6...

CHEERS, GOOD LUCK
