Thursday 2nd July
Melbourne vs Sydney Roosters (Suncorp Stadium - 19:50)

TIP: Roosters easily, probably 13+. They will show they are still the team to beat. Don't rate Melbourne this season.

Friday 3rd July
Canberra vs St.George-Illawarra (GIO Stadium - 18:00)

TIP: Raiders. Hardly a confident tip but they should beat the Dragons even in their poor form.

Parramatta vs North Queensland (BankWest Stadium - 19:55)

TIP: Parramatta. Closer than everyone thinks without Moses though (injured for 2-3 weeks)

Saturday 4th July
Gold Coast vs Cronulla-Sutherland (CBus Super Stadium - 15:00)

TIP: Cronulla. Probably favour the Sharks, just.

New Zealand vs Brisbane (Central Coast Stadium - 17:30)

TIP: Ummmmm Brisbane I guess but this game will be so bad it's not funny. Won't be shocked if the Warriors win.

Wests Tigers vs Penrith (BankWest Stadium - 19:35)

TIP:Tigers (my upset of the round). There's always one upset and the Tigers are playing well.

Sunday 5th July
Manly-Warringah vs Newcastle (Lottoland - 16:05)

TIP: Newcastle. Made the mistake last week tipping Manly minus Tommy Turbo, I won't do it again. Newcastle to grind out a win by 10 points or so.

Canterbury-Bankstown vs South Sydney (BankWest Stadium - 18:30)

TIP: Souths. Bulldogs can't score and Souths can. Will win comfortably.

F*** we are playing tough at the moment.

Hang in there hang in there and then take our chances. It’s great to watch.

Funny how a game like this in league can be so absorbing but an equivalent in AFL would be rightly written off as a dull spectacle

Shouldn’t have allowed them the offload, poor by the Storm as those few meters were the difference
