Sat 11:30am 3v6: Manly Warringah v St George Illawarra @ Brookvale Oval
Sat 1:30pm 4v5: Canberra v Newtown @ Seiffert Oval
Sat 4:35pm 2v7: Sydney City v Canterbury Bankstown @ WIN Stadium
Sun 1:50pm 1v8: Parramatta v Newcastle @ Parramatta Stadium

 

[Jeffles]

Newtown will be huge underdogs going in against a Canberra side bolstered by NRl stars coming down a grade. The Bluebags have to send some campaigners up to Cronulla. It will be a tough ask.

I expect the other games to go with form.

[2 True Blues]

Jets are definately the underdogs. SCOTT, CIRALDO, Cliff MANUA, and KINGSTON all either playing NRL or the bench. ( or late omitted and playing on the spectatot bench as wont make it to canberra for the game ). Frank SAMIA out for the season.

Jets have Jim Beam players throughout their side and bench. Canberra are definately the solid favourites.

Jets travelling down at 8am, gettin off the bus 2 hours prior to kickoff, and understrength, against a Canberra side full of 1st graders.

SHART !!!!!

****Will still be there yellin me guts out, but it's backs against the wall and its not even game day yet. !!!!****

I think Newtown have the stronger playing squad. I tipped Newtown because Canberra is a tough place to play.

I don't know how you can say Canberra's team is full of NRL players. They only have 4 or 5. Newtown have more.

 

[Misanthrope]

The favourites to win, with Newcastle scoring an upset over the Eels

I don't know how you can say Canberra's team is full of NRL players. They only have 4 or 5. Newtown have more.

On my count, both sides have 6 players with first grade experience:

Milne, Mundine, Ale, Campese, Carney and Rothery for the Raiders

Merritt, McGoldrick, Mellars, Aitken, Stosic and Isemonger for the Jets

 

[2 True Blues]

Thought you guys had a lot more. Well I stand corrected then. MMMmmmm, you also forgot about THOMPSON and MELLORS.......

But how can travelling by bus hours prior to kickoff and playing Canberra at home be an away sides advantage GIRVIE ??!!!!??? lol........

Dragons 52 defeated Manly 12

Canberra 24 defeated Newtown 20 in extra time (20-all at fulltime)

 

[girvie]

Roosters 67 thrashed the Bulldogs 6. The Bulldogs are out now.

 

[Hurriflatch]

So, if the Eels win then the Knights and Dogs go out

but if the Knights win who gets to go on Mad Monday??

Canterbury and Newtown.

 

[girvie]

Parramatta won 52-16 over Newcastle.

Canterbury and Newcastle are now out. Parramatta and Sydney City get the week off.

I think next week is Canberra vs. Manly and St George Illawarra vs. Newtown

 

[Jeffles]

You're right about the fixtures girvie.

God effort from the Jets, one of the best displays all year. They'll only get better with the return of Cronulla NRL players.
