Tigers Vs Dragons
Dragons have lost both trials and not only that, have conceded a massive amount of penalties in both games. If those trials had been the season proper i've no doubt someone would have been sinbined.
So with that, tigers will get plenty of attacking chances and have the game wrapped up by half time.
Tigers 13+
Knights Vs Eels
My head says the Eels but the Knights backline is looking very interesting this year and if Carney is up to scratch along with Johns the Eels could be in for a surprise.
Knights 1-12.
Bulldogs Vs Panthers
Bulldogs have a new halves combo including a practical rookie. on top of that Gower has been absolutely carving up in the trials and appears to be fighting to get that captaincy back. The dogs have the edge in the forwards but without a solid backline they wont be able to take advantage of any field position they get.
Panthers 1-12
Sea Eagles Vs Raiders
This one is should be dead simple. Orford, Bell, Menzies, Kennedy. More than enough to see a comfortable win over the raiders. But with the raiders its never a comfortable win so it will no doubt be decided in the final 10 mins
Sea Eagles 1-12
Warriors have something to prove. But they had something to prove last season and the season before that and fell over in a heap. On top of that Cooper Cronc is shaping up great at halfback. Warriors will hold on till half time then the storm will run over the top of them.
Storm 13+
Broncos Vs Cowboys
The local derby between 2 teams 1000kms apart
. Broncos always dominate the first half of the season. Broncos have the wood over the cowboys winning their last couple encounters. Thurston and lockyer going head to head. Toss of a coin gives it to the Broncos
Broncos 1-12
Rabbitohs Vs Roosters
About the most hate-riddled rivalry in the NRL. Rabbits won their first match over easts in 10 years. All their fans will assume its going to happen again. But with Souths best player now donning the Roosters No.13 its going to be all Easts by a cricket score
Roosters 13+
