Select a team to win, margin and a prediction for a 'headline' about the game. That last bit sounds ambiguous but it just needs to be referring to an event that happens in the game, you don't have to spice it up like traditional news headlines as it can be any type of event AS LONG AS IT IS TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FIELD. Your post needs to be submitted 5 minutes before each game starts, any posts later than that (Example 2:08 for a 2:10 game) will not be counted.
POINT AWARDING SYSTEM BELOW

Select the winning team - 3 points
Select the winning team AND correct margin - 25 points
Select the winning team BUT incorrect margin - 3 points

The awarding of points to the headlines will be done as follows. I'll be judging them myself and awarding on a basis of 2-4-8-16 points. Saying something like 'Hogan kicks at least one' is very likely so you'll be on the lower end of the scale at 2 points, saying something like 'Petracca kicks 5+' will be 16 points as that is a pretty outlandish one.

This will be running all year and I will be doing my best to have it up within 5 days of each game. I will go through each thread after the game and quote all posts that earned points, post a leaderboard then post a new thread for the game in the next week. I will also be entering this competition myself but won't be eligible to win.

UPDATED LEADERBOARD

Will post this soon, got a few threads to tally

Any questions feel free to put them in below!

I agree . In a horrible punting slump so will be putting money on Gold Coast to win. Will sacrifice $50 for a greater cause

Knowing our crappy injury management staff (Misson Right?) It will be advertised as 8 weeks when its actually 12 weeks
