A fascinating round after the 'magic' one.
Tonight, will the Storm continue their blitz on the competition by blowing away the Tigers? I hope not. The Tigers are a team that desperately needs to break their finals duck. It's been barren since 2011. Yes, that long ago, and that game.
Jimmy Maloney looked bloody angry on TV the other night, being interviewed about the Panther's current woes. That can only mean one thing, they'll power back into contention tomorrow night against their bunnies, the Warriors. Bet everything on a crushing - season-saving - win at Penrith Park.
The Broncos are back in their comfy Friday night spot at home for the big clash with the competition leaders, the Roosters. Some tough calls have been made by Brisbane, including dropping James Roberts and Jamayne Isaako last week, and we'll see if it pays off long-term. Both are back in the side for tomorrow's game.
Titans v Bulldogs, spoon fight, unfortunately.
Raiders have lost BJ Leilua for the season and that was probably the difference between losing a close one and knocking-off the Chooks last week. If team's are serious though then they don't rely on one player and I don't think the Raiders will.
Cows need a quick 'give their season some spark' and they've got an interesting opponent to try it on with, the Eels, who were shell-shocked by the Storm last week.
Dragons v Knights is hard to tip. Surely the Dragons won't go zero from their last four? But the Knights are seemingly on the rise.
Sharks should beat an injury-ravaged Sea Eagles at Shark Park. However, Manly are gutsy this year, and Dessie's always got a wily plan. He's found a new lease on his NRL-coaching life this year.
