Crap, no Hurrell ?!?
This will be interesting

 

[Unbreakable]

Man this is a tough week of tipping.. I was reasonably happy getting 5/8 last week.

Bulldogs
Sharks
Panthers
Eagles
Cowboys
Roosters
Warriors
Tigers

I guess that's what I'll go, I always find teams that play awful first week rarely play bad 2nd week, hence why I've gone Bulldogs, Sharks, Eagles, Cowboys, Warriors.

I could easily get 0/8 or 8/8 this week, it's a complete lottery.

I'm hopeful that the Broncos can win, but we seem to always suck against the Sharks for some reason, and knowing our luck Barba will come out and have a blinder.

3/8 last week :(

Should be another good round with some quality clashes. Really keen to see how the Cowboys bounce back.

Round 2 is notoriously difficult to pick.

Can't really base anything on Round 1 and teams can struggle to replicate their form while others will only get better.

On FootyTips I went...

Bulldogs
Broncos
Panthers
Storm
Cowboys
Rabbitohs
Raiders
Wests

I'm only confident on the Panthers beating the Titans, everything else is completely up in the air for me.

My tips are pretty close to Grimmiqs with one exception Dragons/Tigers. Honestly, that's the one game I keep tossing and turning on the most but I've gone with my initial tip on the basis that the Dragons will miss Dugan.

I'd also like to take the time to remind members of our spoiler policy. Live discussion threads are entirely that, live, so if fans want to discuss the NSW telecast they most certainly can do so.

That's a fair warning to anyone who wants to avoid being spoiled.

Faith in Jennings !

I'm banking on DWZ scoring at least 3 tries.

 

[Sproj]

Parra with a million knee injuries in that game.

[Broncoman]

Score was unfair on Parra they were a lot more competitive than the score shows. Silly mistakes and taking the wrong options on the backfoot is what killed them in the end and the Dogs took advantage. Trent Hodkinson had a top game which is good for my supercoach team.

I just knew when Sandow apparently said "I'll win the game for us" that it would be Sandow of old. That chip was never on IMO, but he'd happily try it 10 times for it to come off just once.

And what a nuffie Champion is.

Littlejohn is playing NSW Cup for Manly.

It appears that Mateo will play five eighth tonight against Melbourne.
