It's amazing what your first, unexpected win does to your energy and enthusiasm for the season ahead. I just can't wait till tomorrow night! But first, we have to deal with the sight of Big Nelson, he's back. I quite like how crazy he is though (I almost misspelt that as 'thug'!) and will be glued to tonight's blockbuster, Storm v Panthers, game.
Mt Smart vs the Chooks always brings back those 2008 finals memories, that wonderful night we eventually blew them away with our energy and aggression and let's hope, 17 years later, we can do the same. I just hope the stink of that Agar incident isn't dragging us down.
At Lang Park, it used to be special, the Broncos v Cows. Payten needs a return to those glory days as he's really struggling up there, but the Broncos were rubbish last week too. So who knows, this time it could just be a 'low-quality' thriller.
Saturday, Cronulla should outmuscle Souths at home and up in Redcliffe we'll find out how improved the Tigers really are as, on form, they should beat the Dolphins.
I'm backing wily old Dessie to get a number over the Knights. The Titans' defence is looking weak though and, with that in mind, Ponga is the last player they'd want coming at them.
Sunday is sad, for Eels fans. Some hardcore ones I know say it'll only get worse too. 'No one knows what they're doing' is a common refrain. Canterbury expect finals action, deep finals action, this year. It might be a long afternoon for the Parramatta faithful.
We close with what would've been a full house at Brookie for Manly v Canberra. However, Sunday night isn't great for fans. The weekend's over and Monday looms. With warm weather though it makes sense. This one could be the game of the round, if anyone notices!
Enjoy!
