[Big Pete]

Teams are in for Round 7.

We've got a few big name players like Tedesco, Wighton & Nanai all making their returns. However it's the Bulldogs team that is of particular interest. Their forward pack has been bolstered by the return of Faitala-Mariner, Kikau and TPJ. It's going to be a big game for Pangai Jr who has missed the first six games and has promised the Bulldogs that if he doesn't perform well he'll give them permission to release him from his contract.

It does come at the cost of Addo-Carr who was a big part of their attack. It'll be interesting to see how they adjust and if they can take the Eels on through the middle.

I have no idea how Cronulla vs. Sydney got scheduled for 6:00pm. Is there any reasons why the Warriors don't have a mortgage on that spot? You'd think 8:00pm on a Friday would suit them just fine?

I’ve got to say, watching that try he scored, I had no idea Averillo was that quick, might be tempting to push him out as cover for Addo-Carr

 

[LittleDavey]

Some awful games to pick in the tipping this week. Souths will either win by 30 or lose by 2-6 depending on whether they turn up or not. Sharks and Roosters could go either way but I think the troops back for the Rorters will get them the win. Storm should account for Manly, but can the Cowboys regroup over a committed Warriors side over the ditch? You'd expect the Panthers to shred the Knights...was the Broncos loss a slip up they had to have, or the start of a slide in both form and confidence as a result? Are the demons of last year really gone? Will the Raiders turn up again at home, and what can the Dragons muster? Finally, will the Eels build on a scrappy win against the cellar dwellers or will the Dogs bite them?

Most importantly, will the poor hapless Tigers manage to sneak 2 points off the bye, or is even that a bridge too far?

 

[Fernando]

Every match this round looks good

 

[1910]

Te Whare is a good story. 12 months ago Whare was playing BRL. Now listed in NRL sides.

Little kicks that make him turn around will test him if he gets a run.

 

[Sproj]

Umm...there are some weird rankings in here this week. For example, the Knights are apparently a top four side.
