Cheers for the stats Goldmember...
I reckon the Broncos, Cowboys and Roosters will all win again...Broncos will need to get the points before their playing schedule is crowded with Origin obligations...Cowboys should win a close one and the Roosters are quietly going along their merry way winning games...they are looking good! (Glad for Fittler...he's been a great servant for league!)

Not sure about my doggies against the Dragons...both had a bad day at the office last week esp the Bulldogs..staying away from this one.

I'm picking the Tigers against the Raiders this weekend...Raiders forwards looked a little lost last week and their backs usually get good momentum from Davico and Wiki (both out with injury)...heard Benji Marshall is back for the Tigers and he will add some creative spark for them cos tries have been hard to come by this season..defence is good though! Close one...

Staying away from the Warriors v Manly and Eels v Storm...both travelling teams should win their respective games but you cant pick the mood of the home teams...they are both so erratic! Warriors look a lost cause though (and unfortunately that is when they are at their most dangerous- ironic isn't it?)...Actually, feel sorry for the coaches of all 4 teams LOL...well maybe not the Melbourne bloke!! Good luck this weekend...

Well done Goldmember, true to your word. :wink:

Some very interesting games again this week. Brisbane and Newcastle will be interesting. Both teams had great wins with patched up teams last week.

Broncos, just, losing berrigan will make it tighter, but their record up there is so strong maybe it will be survival of the fittest.

Desi, bulldogs are specials, i know they were lethargical against the knights but i'm sure they will be on the money in this game,cause whichever way i look at it i cant see the dragons winning..

cowboys are on a roll , so they should win, even at a neutral ground ,not interested that much.

I think the roosters will rack up a big win [32 pts]despite the sharks recent form, as they were given a big start by the storm.

Warriors? manly? who cares ,i don't.

W/tigers should win this, with benji marshall coming back, straight to 5/8 [ where he should of been playing instead of in the centres]and there only game at campbelltown this year, they were a bit unlucky against the broncos. i watched the raiders and they were pathetic against the sharks,struggled against the knights ,flogged by the roosters and were average against the broncos AND started favourite in 3/4 games ? FAVOURITE AGAIN,give me a brake. BOOKIES TEAM!!!

Think the storm should win , good record against the eels,plus i'm sure they wont go as bad as they did against the sharks.

cheers

I think Ill have a go at the roosters -3.5 @$1.50

Goldmember,

The bookies are probably still rating Canberra on what they did last year.

And Canberra @$1.80

After the sharks game i rated canberra in the bottom 6 sides, 3 weeks, nothing has changed.

Too bad if you backed the cowboys on the nswtab, you get .69c for your $1

Gold,
Went with the doggies after your call... cheers...Cowboys v Souths a close game but neither team seemed to want to win...jeez, 69cents..well at least you get something back LOL!
