This is the most important round of footy to date.
Every single game has a bearing on the top 8 and with 12 teams still in the race anything could happen.
Take the Brisbane Penrith game for example. One is 5th and one is 10th, yet only a point separates them on the ladder. The Cowboys could be 5th or 12th at the end of this weekend, very scary for all concerned.
I reckon I could end up with 8 out of 8 or 2 out of 8. I say that because the Eels are morals to beat the Warriors and the Tigers should get the cash against the Sharks.
Every other game is toss of the coin.
Tonight the Bulldogs can win but so can the Cowboys…no Patten for the Dogs but they do play well away from home and every time they have been put under pressure they have responded. But Bowen, Thurston, O'Donnell and co at home??? Don’t know.
South’s can beat the Titans but then again the Titans can easily beat South's so this is the same scenario isn't it?
The Rabbitoh’s were outstanding last week beating Manly and on that you have to tip them. However the Titans are the quiet achievers and can wrap up a home final if they win tonight.
Saturdays games on paper look a little easier but I said that last week when Manly were supposed to beat South’s and the Bulldogs were told to whip Canberra. So this week the Roosters, Canberra and Eels should all be winning... (the Eels will) but I don’t know if that will all go to plan.
Freddie’s Roosters aren't playing that bad but Manly should win this but they have lost 2 in a row after we all thought they would smash the Tigers and South’s so just maybe they are not as invincible as we thought.
The Raiders put 56 on Brisbane last time at home. Dragons are a great side but this is not over the line by any stretch.
Sunday is also a tough one with Penrith going ok of late and just maybe an upset is on the cards. The Broncos were average for mine on Monday and traditionally the backup is tough for them this year, just look at Origin.
Monday night - If the Storm players can come up for this and win then they will be very strong. The Greg Inglis stuff has to have an effect and I think the Knights have a great opportunity to play themselves back into some form, but there is fight left in the Storm don’t worry about that.
My official tips for the weekend - PARRA and WESTS TIGERS
The rest are a complete guess and I have as much chance of tipping them right as my dog Milly - who went for Titans, Bulldogs, Manly, Saints, Penrith and the Storm
