Premier League pick the winners poll - round 18

[roopy]

This thread will contain team selections for all PL teams (added Wed about 1PM), and results from all games (added over the weekend - with all results in by 12 on Monday).
I would ask anyone who has knowledge of any of the teams to put news and reviews here as well.

Dragons 18
Eels 12

That is a big upset.

Dragons 18
Eels 12

That is a big upset.

I think it has been coming for a while. They beat a very understrength Newcastle, and weren't very impressive doing it - and their results since haven't been much.
The Roosters looked much stronger than the Eels in recent times IMO.

St George Illawarra 18 (T Hewitt, D Holdsworth, K Kerr tries D Holdsworth 3 goals) defeated Parramatta 12 (B Delaney, J Williams tries B Delaney 2 goals)

Souths Juniors 45 (R Bell 2, B Walker 2, B Kearney, N Ford, J Williams, T Young tries J Williams 6 goals, field goal) defeated Newtown 36 (N Merritt 3, F Samia 2, R McGoldrick, C Ciraldo tries N Merritt 4 goals)

Manly 52 (J Robson 4, M Creary 2, M Lennon, D Peachey, JP Cherry tries M Lennon 8 goals) defeated Cougars 10 (D Blanch, J Nuumaalii tries D McLean goal)


Souths over Newtown is a big shock- although looking at their line up it looks like Souths have a few big names playing for them at the moment. And Newtown led 28-24 at halftime, after having been ahead by 24-6 after twenty minutes of the first half.
