If you think about it, I was emphasizing your point if anything.
Still, I don't know if SBW is that big a loss. His form has been mediocre by his lofty standards so far in 2014 & Friend means a lot more to them and would have been a much bigger loss considering the conditions.

Just can't catch a break.
You pick the favorites, they lose. You don't pick them, not only do they win, but they win convincingly.
FMD.

The Tigers SF?!
I knew you were a freak, I didn't know you were THAT much of a freak.
Guess you were pulling for the bounce back factor and the Roosters complacency kicking into over-drive sans Friend & SBW?
You weren't too off in the first half but as Ari said, Roosters are a second half footy team and they just clicked. Crazy how they seem to go off the boil like that. No doubt they've got a premiership winning roster but their respect for the football is shocking. It's not too late to turn it all around and come up smelling roses but they've got to put an 80 minute performance on either the Warriors, Storm or Souths to really flex their muscles.
It's a tough run to the finals, they'll either sink or swim.

I tipped Raiders because of the hoodoo. I tipped Storm.
I tipped Tigers for 2 reasons.
1. I was hoping they would bounce back.
2. Just about every other time I picked the Roosters, they lost.
Roosters and Rabbitohs have fucked me over so many times this year.
Hell, I came close to winning 3k a week after I won the 5k. Unfortunately, I tipped Rabbitohs to beat Tigers and they lost.

There must be plenty of trouble in the Tigers playing group. To get beaten 48-4 after trailing 8-0 is embarrassing and to concede 112 points in 2 games is dire.
As bad as the Tigers were the Roosters were terrific in wet conditions and crucial players are finding form at the right time. The Roosters are still a shot at the premiership.

Knights have done well to hit back here.
They lead 24-22 at HT.
Mamo has been the stand-out player for me. Just a very determined runner, fights in every tackle and he just creates opportunity through a combination of his speed, agility and strength.
Former Bronco Harry Pondekas scored a nice try to make it 22-10, beating 3 Warriors defenders to a Mamo grubber in the in-goal and suffering a concussion in the process.

Newcastle NYC win 40-34.
Dramatic game, sin-bins, spitting allegations and a lot of missed opportunities.
Just thought the Knights showed more grit on their line and NZ were guilty of handing over too much possession at poor times.
