Round 25 Discussion

[Ari Gold]

Still can't believe that McGuire dropped Issac Luke. Did Luke try to break a leg in training or something? Eels would be the perfect game to play him back into form, given their defence is made up of humpty dumpty eggshells.

 

[Son Edo]

So it's true? I agree that the Eels game would bring his confidence back, dropping him wouldn't do anything.

Anyway Dogs/Raiders should be an interesting clash and hard to tip. Dogs are due for that loss while Raiders have won 3 in row but before that they were so hot and cold, so a loss for them should be on the brink surely.

Manly - just think we're another week of improvement off being able to beat a top team
Bulldogs - Raiders due for a shocker, weaker Bulldogs or not.
Titans - they're on a roll
Dragons - as crap as they are, at home they should be too good for the sacked coach bounce back
Cowboys by plenty
Tigers by plenty
Souths by plenty
Storm by plenty

If that all happens I believe that puts the Broncos in 8th level with Raiders and Titans...

 

[Son Edo]

Sea Eagles - Not taking any chances.
Raiders - Bulldogs resting Barba and others but I think they've debunked that rumour. Too bad i already put my tips in.
Titans
Dragons - Flip of the coin. Warriors only motivation is getting a new coach but they've never won at Wollongong. And the Dragons have 6 successive victories over them, so statistically you gotta go with the Dragons.
Cowboys
Roosters - No Farah and the Roosters are a bogey team for the Tigers.
Rabbitohs
Storm

 

[jarro65]

Sea-Eagles - just ...
Bulldogs - still too classy for the Raiders.
Titans - gaining confidence at the right time of year.
Dragons - Warriors = crap !!
Cowboys - At home, tough to beat.
Roosters - No Farah, no chance.
Rabbitohs - Parra have their mind on their last game sendoff for Hindy and Burty
Storm - Sharks look flaky.

 

[user_nat]

I've gone with all the favourites this week.

Sea Eagles - Unfortunately
Bulldogs - This one was actually hard, I think Canberra are a good chance here.
Titans - Panthers suck..
Dragons - Warriors suck..
Cowboys - Knights will be playing for their season, Cows should win anyhow
Tigers - Hopefully they lose, we need it.
Rabbitohs - Because they are playing the Eels.
Storm - at home.

Really hope Canberra lose..

 

[Kaz]

Ennis could be rested from the Dogs team.

 

[Coxy]

Storm - Sharks look flaky.

I LOL'd

 

[jarro65]

[Big Pete]

Only Ennis missing.

Contemplating switching tip...nah.

 

[user_nat]

I knew I should have tipped Canberra. Lame for many reasons..

 

[Kaz]

Only Ennis missing.

Contemplating switching tip...nah.

[spoilers]You should have switched.[/spoilers]

 

[The Brizz]

1/2 so far dang! Went to the safe side and tipped Manly unfortunately I sent in my tips prior to finding out about possible Dogs being rested.

 

[Big Pete]

Why? I'm 1/2 now instead of 0/2.

 

[Son Edo]

2/2
