[Bucking Beads]

Dogs to win by plenty
Bunnies are in for a big win and it will be a good thing for the Southerners.
Cowboys to get the chocolates.
Broncos to pull off an upset.

 

[Son Edo]

Was joking with my tips.

Dogs should win.

Bunnies and Knights are both missing key players but the Bunnies should win convincingly.

Cowboys are due a win but are missing too many players, Titans should win comfortably.

Warriors should win but their away form is garbage, best chance for an upset.

 

[broncos4life]

Tell ya what, Mitch brown can bomb a try

 

[Son Edo]

Bludger of a game. Are all games like this during the origin period?

 

[broncos4life]

They are usually a bit below par, but these two teams should have no excuse, especially the dragons

 

[Alec]

Missing Merrin is a pretty huge blow, especially since he's almost been doing more than the rest of their forwards combined.

 

[Fozz]

Dumb stuff from Barba. Dragons have done a good job keeping him in check.

 

[broncos4life]

Missing Merrin is a pretty huge blow, especially since he's almost been doing more than the rest of their forwards combined.

I see what your saying, but missing one forward is hardly an excuse

 

[Coxy]

**** origin affected rounds are boring as hell. Please play origin on weekends instead. Please!

 

[Big Pete]

And as long as Fien is able to play first grade halfback - Peter Wallace can never be regarded as the worst halfback in the competition.

Terrible option.

This game won't end, wonder if Fien will set up the match winner.

 

[Big Pete]

Miss it Jamie, miss it for all your Northern brothers.
