Brisbane Broncos vs St George Illawarra Dragons – Thursday night – Suncorp Stadium
Sometimes I repeat myself. Often times its because I'm a tad forgetful, but occassionally I repeat myself because I'm trying to make a bloody good point. Last week I mentioned the Dragons had scored just three tries in their last four hours of football. We're now up to 5 hours and 20 minutes, and they're still on three tries. Their last two away outings have yielded no tries at all, and here they are in another away game, against a team that recently beat the team that just beat the Dragons 36-0. The Broncos are yet to taste defeat at home this season, and I suspect I can repeat that statement in a weeks time.
Verdict – Broncos by 10
Result - Broncos 26 defeated Dragons 0
South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters – Friday night – ANZ Stadium
At the start of the season I would have highlighted this game in the schedule, but a lot can change in five weeks. The Eels/Raiders clash the next day looks more enticing, and I would never have said that five weeks ago. These sides actually met in round one when the Rabbitohs put the Chooks to the sword in a clinical display. Things have only gotten worse for the tricolours since then. Losing is a much harder habit to break than winning, and there's no reason to think they've cured their woes yet. To make matters worse, the Rabbitohs will take great delight in pinning some tailfeathers to the bottom of the ladder. No doubt the Chooks will try - there's every chance they'll lift and give us their best performance of the year thus far, but they shan't be winning. No they shan't.
Verdict – Rabbitohs by 10
Result - Roosters 17 defeated Rabbitohs 10
Parramatta Eels vs Canberra Raiders – Saturday afternoon – Pirtek Stadium
I'm teetering here, and I'm very close to tipping the Raiders. Their form is tremendous, their record against the Eels is good and they have a better strike rate in daytime games. That's three good reasons to tip them, but here are my three reasons I'm not:
- Successive away games and a short turnaround from Monday night.
- Iosia Soliola is out and he give the Raiders some real punch in the middle third.
- Nathan Peats is back for the Eels, and if he can keep his body together long enough he'll be quite the footballer.
It seems odd to say this, but we could be looking at the game of the round. If you like a bet back the Raiders with the handicap start - if they don't win I don't think they'll lose by much.
Verdict – Eels by 2
Result - Eels 36 defeated Raiders 6
New Zealand Warriors vs Manly Sea Eagles – Saturday night – Mt Smart Stadium
The Warriors are a frustrating outfit at the worst of times, so I've made a bit of an effort to avoid watching them this season. I didn't think I was missing out on much, until I found out (just now) that the Warriors have an interchange player named 'Jazz'. That is outstanding, and some very brave parenting from someone out there. I don't know if Jazz is any good, but I have a copy of 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis...and I will listen to it, right after this game. For reasons I can't quite fathom the Warriors are a very short priced favourite here. They did beat the Roosters last week...just, but the Sea Eagles just beat the Roosters too. Granted the Sea Eagles are missing a few key personel, but they win a lot more games at Mt Smart Stadium than the Warriors. Trent Barrett has given his side a nice little freshen up leading into this game and I'm taking a punt that they'll respond positively.
Verdict – Sea Eagles by 4
Result - Sea Eagles 34 defeated Warriors 18
Penrith Panthers vs North Queensland Cowboys – Saturday night – Pepper Stadium
At the risk of upsetting our resident Coach Potato, the Panthers are lucky they aren't sitting on zero points right now. They deserved the wins they got, and they were against decent opposition, but if things didn't work out they could be hanging out with the Roosters (and after the Mitchell Pearce fiasco no-one wants to socialize with them). Now at the risk of pleasing our resident Coach Potato, the Panthers could also, with a little more luck, be entrenched in the top four. All their losses, like their wins, have been by narrow margins. I happen to think the Panthers are a team on the rise - Matt Moylan will improve each week, and Segeyaro and Whare should return in the next fortnight or so. Now at the risk of upsetting our resident Coach Potato yet again, I won't be tipping them here. The Cowboys are the form team in the NRL right now and, given the Panthers victories over the Broncos and Eels, they'll be preparing for a contest on Saturday night. If this game was mid-winter and smack-bang in the middle of the Origin series I could entertain a victory for the locals...but not right now. Here's a little stat for you - five games down and Jonathan Thurston is yet to make a single error this season. All those touches and all that running around like a terrier in defence...and not a single error. If he keeps this up he might end up being a pretty decent footballer one day.
Verdict – Cowboys by 4
Result - Cowboys 23 defeated Panthers 18
Cronulla Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans – Sunday afternoon – Southern Cross Group Stadium
As a man who likes to poke sticks at the Cronulla club from time to time it unnerves me a little to say this, but here goes - I like the look of this squad. They have the combination of tough, aggressive forwards, level-headed playmakers and exciting backs just about right. Can they actually bring the Shire their first premiership? I say no, but the rumblings have already started on the beaches. Ben Barba appears to have his zing back, and rugby league is a much better spectacle when the little men are zinging. As for the Titans, they've won more games than they've lost - not too bad for the team most assumed would run last. This challenge might be just beyond them - Cameron Cullen makes his NRL debut in the halves and this won't be the easiest place to start your first grade career. There are a few other notable inclusions for the visitors (David Shillington, William Zillman), and they'll give this a good shake. The Sharks to prevail, shaken but not stirred. The name is Bird...Jack Bird.
Verdict – Sharks by 4
Result - Sharks 25 defeated Titans 20
Newcastle Knights vs Wests Tigers – Sunday afternoon – Hunter Stadium
If the Knights repeat that effort from last week they beat the Tigers on Sunday, particularly with the support of a home crowd. I do have a rich history of backing the Knights in these Sunday afternoon fixtures in the Hunter, and it's a strategy that has served me well over the years. But, and there's always a but, this is very young Newcastle squad, and its quite the challenge to back up after a strong effort and produce another strong effort. I suspect they'll be below their best this weekend, and that's a level that doesn't win games in the NRL. The Tigers have lost three games in a row, but they've been competitive. Narrow losses to the Sharks and the Eels is better form than it used to be. Curtis Sironen returns to an otherwise settled Tigers line-up. You want to have points in you to win these afternoon fixtures, and the Tigers have scored 114 in five games - not bad given that they won game where they didn't score at all.
Verdict – Tigers by 8
Result - Knights 18 defeated Tigers 16
Melbourne Storm vs Canterbury Bulldogs – Monday night – AAMI Park
There are four teams below the Storm on the ladder with a better points differential this season, including the Bulldogs. Such is the nature of the purple machine, particularly early in the season where they do enough to keep on winning and not much more. They aren't at their best, but they've won four from five and are undefeated at home. Their only loss came at the hands of the Sharks on a Monday night in Cronulla, and even then they only conceded 14 points. This is a difficult team to tip against, even when you know they aren't firing on all cylinders. While the Storm are a metronome, the Bulldogs remain a riddle wrapped inside an enigma. Just when you convince yourself they're a premiership force (racking up 42 points against the Bunnies) they underperform a week later in a game where I had them pegged as a lock. I'll stick with what I know, and I know the Storm. I don't expect it to be pretty, but they'll get the job done. I've a feeling this game will be the lowest scoring for the round - adjust your betting accordingly.
Verdict – Storm by 7
Result - Bulldogs 18 defeated Storm 12

Hello, my tips for this week are:
Broncos by 26- I'm sorry to say but we are going to get smashed big time this week just like just week.
Rabbitohs by 8- Rabbitohs will be too good here. Not yet for the Roosters.
Eels by 2- Eels to get back in the winners circle with a thrilling win.
Warriors by 10- Warriors will be too strong here. Manly haven't been too good at the moment and really need to improve in attack especially against a good attacking team in the warriors.
Panthers by 4- Panthers to upset the Cowboys here which will continue the trend of home game for Cowboys=win and away game for Cowboys=loss.
Sharks by 14- Sharks too good here. But it's going to be interesting seeing the young five-eighth for Titans Cameron Cullen on debut how it'll pan out for him and it'll be good to see another good game from Ash Taylor and also Barba for Sharks.
Knights by 6- Knights to finally get their first win here.
And Storm by 10- Both teams didn't play too well last week even though Storm won their game. I think Storm to get up here and win yet again at home.
So basically what I could've said is all ups this week.
Good luck to everyone. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evening Folks
This weeks tips look a bit user friendly, what do you reckon? I would like to challenge Rocket Ryan into being one of the first to post his/her tips this week instead of sitting back and drawing ideas from the rest of us, come on Rocket what do you say about this challenge?
I know Coach has rattled on about the refs and the bunker system but it is playing a bigger part in our game then it is suppose to. I agree with Coach 100% that they are still getting decisions wrong but faster, are they listening to the commentators.
The bunker needs to be able to advise the refs on any wrong doing including forward passes.
Submitted by Annonymous on
So where are your tips then tigerholic?
Submitted by Coach Potato on
Tigerholic, Michael Gordon scored a try on the back of taking a pass in an offside position and it wasn't seen. What hope is there?
My gripe this week is why can't we name and shame the Bunker-heads like we used to. Like bloody Oral-B, won't even show their faces. Remember they would publicise who the video ref was before each game. Now we just don't know. Do they rotate? I hope so, cause they can sit on his middle finger and rotate. All we know these days is that they all have the first name, Archie. Not good enough NRL.
Submitted by Coach Potato on
Got another one.
Today's paper reports Raiders were whisked away straight after the game, off to Bankstown airport to fit players into two 10-seater aircraft, $10,000 at the kindly NRL's expense due to a 5 day turnaround.
Q1? Are you showing Canberra favours by this action or are all teams entitled to similar treatment in a similar situation?
Q2? The weight of 10 players would bloody outweigh one of those 10-seaters, how did they get those things off the ground?
Q3? Not to mention it would be like trying to fit extra passengers into a Tokyo peak hour train. Comfort level minus 100. What was the in-flight movie, hopefully not Land of the Giants?
Q3? The paper says the team arrived back at 1am. NRL, don't you think it's highly embarrassing that such a waste of money saw the supporters buses and fans who drove beat these flying tin cans back into Canberra? What shows as the point of this exercise in dunce-cap-ology? Eg Who's putting their hand up as responsible? Any takers?
Submitted by Coach Potato on
Oops sorry two question 3's . Pretend one of them says Q4.
Submitted by tigerholic on
Hello Annonymous , has Rocket Ryan hired you to stick up for him, I do hope you are qualified for the job. If you were watching last weeks tips being posted, mine were posted very early and remained the same.
With a call sign like "Annonymous" , who do you follow, I'm thinking you would have to be a Queenslander who follows a NSW based team to be so brave as to attack the reigning champion, I look forward to your next move, but be cautious, Rocket Ryan does not pop up too often to be able to offer any wit.

Good call "Annonymous" you are right to ask Tigerholic to post his tips early we all like to see what the expert is thinking, Coach Potato called him a genius for shying away from the tigers, most Tiger supporters would be much harsher, Coach your panthers should be sitting with the Roosters on the bottom of the ladder, they have had enormous amounts of luck the Broncos clocked off after 30 minutes and lost focus our worst effort this year and last week! well you should probably give the points back to the Eels after that fiasco unfolded last week.
Tigerholic have you gone mad calling for the Bunker to rule on forward passes during a game, how much disruption would that cause, here's a thought boys let the refs go and be allowed to make a call you always win some you always lose some, suits me fine.
"a "you must be confident your cowboys can take on the panthers and show soward and co the skill and effort required to be a top team, so far they done well and sit in the top four,they certainly had me worried when you came and played us here.
Well done Rick on your early tipping form, you will find more people including Tigerholic wanting to know what your thinking each week.

Submitted by Tailspin on
Hey Coach, I think the biggest blunder the bunker has made and probably the most obvious one, and correct me if I'm wrong, you also picked it out, was the Broncos v Cowboys game where the bunker called a knock on from JT but didn't see the bronco's winger out over the sideline with his hand on the ball which caused JT to knock on. Un bloody believable. But good game anyway.
Submitted by The Thinker on
Morning Anonymous,
Great to hear that you're still around. Good stuff.
All the best
Submitted by Baggy_Gee on
Look Rocket, if the Show Ponies clocked off early how is that a lucky Panthers win? Its a 80 minute game and as continually proven, you check out that's a one way ticket to a loss. The Eels game, I'm OK losing, yes it was a bit sad about the call, and that type of momentum change on the line is hard to absorb, especially when you have the game "won". That type of thinking is what lost us the game as well as soft edge defence. So stop whinging that your side doesn't have a full 80 minutes of game in them and accept that luck is only in the hands of the ref and if left on the field the better team won the day.

Here are what I think might transpire this weekend.
Broncos - Having a pretty good team, even in the games that they check the win box at half time and go MIA, it should be a walk. 5.5 hrs of football for 3 tries and what could/should have been a cricket score against them last week, hard to picture anything but a Broncos win. add in the Suncorp factor with hopefully 55,000 because of the school holidays, Ponies by a lot.
Rabbits - Not the blow out people are thinking, but again not close. Sam will be better for the run last weekend, but 16 points in 15 minutes then nothing but errors and missed opportunities will play on the Bunnies minds. There hopefully be a lift in the Roosters but lacking Pearce they seem to be the new Dragons in attack at the moment. Wins will start to come after round 8.
Eels - Boy am I worried about this game. I definitely rate Blake Austin as a half and they looked good against the Doggies last week. This talk of the short turn around is creating a mind set of making the game harder than it is. Ricky will have them revving as will Brad after last weeks showing, we so should have been able to hang on and win. The BOYS to do what they did to the Dogs and produce a blockbuster effort in defence and let Sami do his thing.
Warriors - Back to back wins and one when the chips were down, confidence with a capital W. We all know that the Warriors are a confidence team and playing at home going for 3 should see the fans come out in force. Many will be there at the end, but hopefully the fast start we know that the Warriors can produce will see them home.
Panthers - Hard to argue against 76-0 in the last pair of games, but look at the Bunnies, 90-4 or something after their first two games. There is just something about the Cowboys that bugs me, and it isn't the fact that they are the second team I love to watch lose. They seem to be back in the loop of waiting on JT to do his thing and some of their young guys aren't really jumping on that band wagon. Granville is great, and he will be a force, but you need to be able to follow the plan for the full 80, not when you choose. Panthers to squeak home in a thriller, chiller, when they get the Cowboys in Manilla.
Sharks - 50/50 honestly, yes rookie in the 6, but if need be, give him the boot, Bird moves back into the 6 and you basically have the team that is putting most pundits projections to shame. Home ground sways me to the Sharks and I think that they are going to pick up a bit of steam heading into origin.
Tigers - It seems that the tigers have more points in them then they had stories about coaches being fired last year. Again the mind set seemed to be rack the pool cue after getting out to a great lead last week, and against the current Knights side that might work. The real JT won't allow them to do that after the Titans came roaring back to spank them though, so a long long long long day at the office for the Knights and poor Nathan Brown.
Storm - All can't be well in the four seasons's if King Grub is having a whine about the ruck. It is usually close rank and work harder than the rest to get the win. As the Thinker has already pointed out winning is what they do best down there, and with a Bulldogs side that is so up and down, Stick with a good thing until you find a reason to switch. The Bulldogs for me aren't that reason.

Awesome. Thanks again Thinker. Thanks again everybody. Good luck with all your picks and go NZ Warriors. Kiwi Power ! Peow ! Peow ! ;-D
Submitted by The Joker on
Cheers Thinker.
I am not in your comp however I will post my tips.
Broncos - Most think broncs will win by a big margin in this one, I don't, I have the feeling dragons will muscle up in defence. Broncs by 6.
Rabbits - Too good here the rabbits. A sea of red and green at ANZ on a Friday night, bunnies love the night games, I think the chooks will start strong but I think rabbits will prevail. I have a feeling inglis won't see out the season with that knee though. Rabbits by 8
Eels - I'm with the thinker on thoughts about this one. The short turn around for the raiders plus a few inclusions and changes for the eels and Saturday arvo at pirtek!... easy.. Eels by 10
Warriors - Hardest game to tip in my opinion. Trbojevic back for manly will certainly lift them. And manlys record over warriors is pretty darn good... however.. this is not the same manly side and this is also not the same warriors side.. Saturday night in Kiwi land, their fans will get loud for this one, listen for the deep drum and barrier pounding ha!...Warriors by 2
Cowboys - Another tough one. Penrith are up and down for me. I find it very hard to know when to tip them, and this might justify that. Just looking at their last 2 rounds though..they just beat the eels and they just lost to the dragons, while cowboys kept dragons scoreless and put 36 points on them. I know it's pepper statdium and all and panthers fans will be loud in this one, however I am leaning towards thurstons cool and calm head to see the cows steal this one by 1 point.
Sharks - Toss a coin. I have no idea. Home ground advantage on a sunday afternoon. This would be the number one game I am worried of getting wrong. So i'll tip sharks but you should tip titans. Ha! Sharks by 2.
Tigers - Yes I am a Novocastrian and yes I find it more hard to tip our side than I do with Penrith. I think the knights will play well in this one, they always do against tigers. But this tigers side this year looks very good. We are due for a win and if we do win it will be off the back of a lot of home side favourable refs penalties. Can't tip knights yet. Tigers by 8
Bulldogs - Yep they sucked Monday night the dogs. But they usually turn it around pretty quickly. Winning their last 5 in a row against storm and the loss of slater is enough for me to cheer on the dogs in this one. Never really been a Storm fan. Go doggies! ..Dogs by 4.
Submitted by Tailspin on
Hey everyone, here we go again
Warriors at home and starting to put a few wins on the table by 6
Sharks by 8
Dogs by 8, have to improve on last performance and they have a good record against the storm

Eels by 2 but I'm not convinced, Raiders got their halves back and will only get better
Tigers by 8
Cowboys by 10, just too good here :)

Rocket, you are right we could be 0/5. Don't discount though we could just as easily be 5/0. Only 2 teams have been on every game til the dying minutes. The Broncos, and (wake up to yourself), the Panthers. Every other team has had at least one off game. The more you talk Rocket, the more you dribble. Panthers had Broncos 17-0 in the last 43 minutes. No team has kept Broncos scoreless in the 2nd half in the last season and a half. We done you like a chicken dinner buddy. BBQ'd Broncos. Was delicious.

The items can be jerseys, T-Shirts, jumpers, jackets, hats, socks and jocks, just to give you a chance Coach. This has to be honest and then we can announce the real supporters

Please get it right people. Gotta nip this in the bud. Noone's having a go at anyone else, at least not me anyway. I didn't call anyone a dribbler (that would be personal, and wrong). I called the stuff written was dribble which is my opinion. Whether people agree or disagree is up to them. When it comes to talking about your team and my team it's open slather. That's not having a go at anyone. Weird how people can't see the difference.
As for having a dig at the NRL and video ref's, they so need kicks up the butt. They deserve every bit of that.
Submitted by tigerholic on
Coach, were you agreeing with me or disagreeing?? I love the banter and comments and little digs, this is a footy site and all we do is talk about, think about, dream about and dribble about is footy.

Truth is I had a Canterbury footy as a kid because I think I liked blue colour. Adolescent I was a fierce Balmain fan and still have a Phillips jersey. Being a local Panthers always ran a close 2nd. Got who knows how many jerseys, polo shirts, training shirts, and the odd trinket, beer glass, key ring blah blah. Anyway heartbroken at having to merge with Wests. I so hated Wests. I just couldn't follow the new Tigers anymore. Late 90s I also received a Warriors DB bitter jersey as a present which I still have. I think they knew I liked the blue colour. I have a signed and framed Broncos jersey from 2001 preseason. Most of 2000 G/F team Lockyer Tuqiri Webke Tallis Sailor .Not a fan at all. Just figured these names on the one shirt might be worth something.
