Hi Thinker,

You can count me in.

Cheers and hope everyone is well!

Hi Thinker, i would be keen to tip again this year if possible!

Only fourteen sleeps to go,keep away from me Christine you are jinked.
As usual I am expecting an enormous season from the broncos unlike the tigers we just do not have back to back disaster seasons.
Looking forward to mounting an assault on the leader-board Thinker.

Christine...I long to see your name on the tipping ladder. You put your tips into the comments page every week so what's the difference putting them in to the Thinkers weekly tipping spreadsheet? Come on join in....

Yeah I definitely think that you should join Christine

Hi Steel Panther, yes, I did notice your t-shirt. I thought it was quite cool.
Although I'm not a great fan, I do like some of their songs.
Good luck with your tips.
Manyana.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to join this year but after thinking about it I did come 5th in my first attempt and I need to defend my A Game title and I saw Rocket Ryan’s name so I know I won’t come last so yeah I’m in.
I wonder how rocket Ryan ranked last year?
Or as Elmer Fudd would say
I wonder how wocket wyan wanked last year?
He may need a hand.

There he is with some more stuff for my garden ....Mister reliable.

Hello Christine I think you are the money with the rabbits don't worry about Benny with him you are definitely dealing with the butcher not the block as has happened here.

Hi All
Just had a look at the TAB current odds for the 2020 premiership they are as at 7pm 28/2/2020
Roosters ($4.25), Storm ($6.50), Raiders ($7.00), Manly ($10.00),
Eels ($10.00), Rabbits ($11.00), Broncos ($17.00), Cowboys ($19.00)
Panthers ($21.00), Sharks ($21.00), Knights ($23.00), Warriors ($34.00)
Dragons ($34.00), Tigers ($34.00) Bulldogs ($41.00) Titans ($101.00).
No doubt this will change as we near kickoff and injuries are taken into account. A number of those prices have me scratching my head but I'm no expert, particularly the Cowboys and the Knights. Of course the Broncos should be around $2.00 but I'm biased.

Hey Christine
I may not be here on Sunday but wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY for that day. Like you I'm getting older but certainly not wiser. I just enjoy waking up each morning and realising I'm still alive.
I hope you have a good day.

Hi Folks
Firstly I want to wish Christine a Happy Birthday for tomorrow. I hope you have a great 21st birthday:)
Christine, as others have asked earlier, I would like to see you join the main tipping comp and give the Chump Chop(Butcher) a hiding. My money would also be on you to finish well ahead of Rocket Ryan, given his name is nothing like the Rocket Scientist it suggests.
Can't wait for the season to kick off, as always very nervous waiting and hoping that the Tigers can start well.
Golf again today for me, as I did Thursday and Friday, its a hard life being off work.
As far as work goes, I am progressing well and I am planning on a return to work on the 1st June at this stage.

Watched the trial match today between Panthers & Eels and quite enjoyed it, some real NRL at last on free to air. Plenty of errors from both teams and ended up a 22 all draw. Best thing was it was played at Bega to support recent bush fire victims and both teams had spent a few days there to support the locals. Congratulations to both clubs and the NRL for this sort of community involvement.

Hello and good morning all my close associates at Thinkers tipping.
I know as I mentioned before, that I've been absent from the site for a while, but I've had a buildup of many "to do's", including medico's and I know I have to get myself into 100% condition for NRL tipping, which is very close on our doorstep and also coincides with our annual sports awards dinner here, the same weekend. Which has taken a fair amount of keyboard time with me, in being a co-organiser of the night.

Today - firstly Christine, a very happy birthday to you and we do share something in common on 1st March of each year. Today is the day I commenced by employment with the NSW Govt, but I dont want to go sounding off with the year.
I seem to recall you being a follower of S/Syd Rabbitohs and if so, they look to have a good unit on paper. Never mind Benny, as he still has the shrewdness of getting team right and then perfecting how they do things. I agree, you should give the tipping comp a go. Just post your tips after you feel you made all corrections and ready to nail the weekends winners. Good luck, we;ll speak down the track, as I have heaps going on and daylight is better time for me to be on computer, but them I still go to work during the day.

@Mark A - hello mate and I hope you've been knocking a few of those buffalo steaks over by now. Say hello to Greg and Wendy when u r next there.

@Steel Panther (Steely) - hope all is well with you and I've noticed Wello Phoenix have been getting into some victories in A-League.
I've also noticed u appear to be slipping up early here with Thinkers 2020 NRL Tipping Comp, because I don't see your name yet, as a confirmed starter. Good luck and get into it.

@Newbie - great seeing those EPL predictions you've been making. Liverpool went down this morning to mind you - Watford. Nil all at half time and Watford wins 3 nil. Cant believe it, but that's footy and it happens.

@Johnny A - hope all is well mate and that your mum is better. I could imagine the strain on you buddy, with all that travelling from Canberra to Kandos. Don't forget I'm still around and we can catch up one day for a deserved break in travel for you.

@Mary S, 'a', NuLife - Cowboys look like being a good side with their recent losses. We'll just need to gauge their form when on the road and playing away from NQ Stadium. Good luck with it all.

@Manyana - keep positive Miss, you'll do well like Christine in predicting. Just need to review what selections you make, before posting them. Christine had numerous changes each week and I can see why shoe just posts/blogs with us. But I reckon she'd throw a cat among the pigeons if she got into the real deal with us.

@BaggyG - Bankwest Stadium sure brings them together. I haven't been there yet but the atmosphere looks good. I was hoping to see an A-League match between W/Syd Wanderers and my Smurfs, but a few things have put paid to that and one includes my daughter preparing to go to London to work. We are sure going to miss her and I hope your "littlies" are going well also.

@Tigerholic - hope all is well Tiger. You've got the brothers together now and might just see a new brand of brew at West Tigers. TigPies have a coach who's been there and done that, all he's needed is the playing staff to get them there.

@Rocket R - Broncos will do good, they just need to get behind their coach and forget the past. Get on with it. They had some 50/50 players in 2019 and I would have relegated them, for players that wanted to put in an effort.

@Thinker and TLH - thanks mate for conducting this comp again for 2020. I'm looking forward to it and a real good showing from my Sea Eagles. Got a couple went under the knife, but they will be back.
I can see your thoughts on cutting prospective tippers off at a certain point, especially if one was to have a look at the final Thinker Scoreboard for 2019 and will notice that there were several that never tipped through to the 201 matches and a select group "spat it" after 120 games. Some never saw that figure out, but that makes it hard for keen ones sitting in the wings here, who would have loved to have tipped with us, but were instead "observers".

Good luck to all and I'll see you on the tipping pages, in around 10 days. Oh, BTW - Round 9 10th May, we have the Panthers v Sharks match here in Bx. Not the first time those two have played here.
Cheers all and keep well - Big Pete in Bx Country.

Always good to see a post from you Big Pete. Have missed your patter in the off season.

I'm feeling like I'm being readied for a season of depression with firstly my Rangers getting knocked out the Scottish Cup this morning to lowly Hearts. Follow that up with a sound touch up for the Warriors by the Tigers this afternoon. Have been impressed with the Phoenix this season. They have played some nice football & would have easily beaten Rangers with the way Rangers played today.

Good luck to your beloved Manly this season. Don't worry I'll be there tipping in 2020!!! Lucky me I'm off to New Caledonia next weekend but will be back in time to put in my Round 1 tips!!

Happy Birthday Christine. I hope you have a great day.
All the best, manyana.
