Sharks get the easiest draw every year and Eels get the toughest start to the season every year

Team that got nilled versus team that got 52 put past them.

brisbane by plenty, but I'd love it to be Parra for the LOLs.

Bounce back factor x 2

Broncos to get the win but I feel Eels will be super competitive.

Yeah Parra did beat them the last time they played so I haven’t written them off in this one. It’s going to be hot like last Friday in Brisbane on Thursday so it might even it out

The Broncos looked tired, frustrated and out of ideas in a round one game last week. Penrith were probably the worst team for them to play as they just strangled them to death. Now playing Parra who will be a lot loser and want a quick game. I wouldnt take too much from a round 1 blow out, once the Storm got 18 up they were always going on with it. Considering Moses comments in the press conference it seems like theyd believed the hype for them this off season a little too much so decent reality check.

Brisbane wont lose two in a row at home but think this will be close and see-saw for 65-70mins. Brisbane by 8.

Flat in the WCC and curb stomped by the Penrith Panthers. Now this is the game Brisbane can't lose and the Eels can't win.

Eels 1-12 is $4.80. I'm putting $2.50 of my hard earned on that.

It's paying $5 at the NZ Tab. Very juicy odds.
