Same TPB but I feel Prickys Cult might spring an upset tonight. Game one of their back to the wall "we'll show em" effort. Next week they will fall off the perch.

Yes, possibly, Though Hodgson is a huge lose for them. Roosters seem to over come anything thrown at them, they get a few back for this game Cordner, JMorris and Liu

Canbra no chance. A backs to the wall win for them would only come with a 12 point start

The “upset” I can see is Dogs. But it’s only Drags

Has a point in a way. Grand final replay should be better scheduled you would think. Should have been played tomorrow. Showponys v tigers tonight, that would mean ShowPonys 5 day turnaround, cant have that for the precious dears..

The 5 day turnaround definitely isn't fair for a lot of clubs not just Raiders,, as some clubs are made to play 4-5 games this way, others barely any (from original format, not sure this new rd 20 format)

In regards to free to air coverage, history shows Raiders dont rate

I was sitting on 6/6 until Sunday. That will teach me for not having faith in my team and too much faith in a busted Manly side.

This week, on paper at least, is the easiest round to pick this season in my opinion. There are a few potential upsets though.

Roosters v Raiders - Roosters by 14
- Raiders just have too many players out, are coming off a five day turn around and are playing away to the premiers. I can’t see them winning unless Roosters are off this week.

Storm v Titans - Storm by 30+
- I will eat my own face if the Titans win this.

Tigers v Broncos - Tigers by 8
- Will be interesting to see how the Broncos backup after their fairly unimpressive win against the 2020 wooden spooners.

Dragons v Dogs - Dragons by 18
- The Dogs try hard but they just have nothing.

Souths v Knights - Souths by 12
- Knights were awful in attack last week. Can’t see them turning it around this week but having said that, a Knights win won’t surprise me a great deal.

Warriors v Sharks - Sharks by 13+
- Been a rough year for the Warriors. I think this will also be a rough game for them.

Panthers v Cowboys - Panthers by 18+
Can’t see the Cows turning it around this week.

he does like a whinge though, I mean these are difficult times and cant be compared to normal times so I think he should just take it as it comes

I dont hear anyone else whinging

I think uncle Nick may have left a brown paper bag of sorts in the refs room. Some very favourable calls and a thousand 6 more calls to the rorters already

A couple of observations.
- The roosters move well before the ball has been played
- they also don't mind grappling around the neck.
- Keary never gets tackled with ball in hand. His jersey hasnt been washed all year
