What a weekend we have, what a night as well!!
The minor premiership, the top 8, the top 4, the wooden spoon…all going to be decided in the final round of the competition. All this drama in a year that off field incidents have been front page news, it’s great that we can still have a classic finish to the season.
David Gallop is parking himself at the airport to go to Kogarah or the SFS to present the JJ Giltinan shield to the winner of the minor premiership.
I think the Bulldogs can win it but I reckon the Tigers will show some flair tonight in a game which means nothing other than stuffing up the Dogs finals campaign. Minus Brett Kimmorley, and I like Daniel Holdsworth but he is not Noddy and for that reason I think there will be a split hair in it. The Tigers have just struggled to win at the back end of games and maybe it will happen again.
The other match is not as easy to pick. Hindmarsh isn't playing which brings the DRAGONS into play. Before that news came out I thought the Eels were fair dinkum over the line but now I'm a little cautious. I still think they will win because I think the Dragons haven't been able to get themselves ready and right for the finals. Losses to Canberra, the Broncos and South's is not good form as opposed to the Eels who have won 7 in a row and averaged less than 10 points scored against them in all of those losses.
The Dragons have scored 1 try in 160 minutes of Footy, the Eels have scored 12. Hard to tip against that form so I' going again with Parra.
Saturday is heart attack day. I want the Warriors to win so Manly have got the top 4 to play for but I doubt it’s going to happen. Storm should be too good and have too much to play for, but the Warriors are their bogey team.
MANLY AFTER LAST WEEK SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED. The Gold Coast are solid and again will be tough to beat so toss of the coin. (Tell you what though, best bet of the weekend is the Manly Toyota Cup minus 31 against the Titans)
Just leave me out of Sharks and South’s completely. Take the missus out to dinner so you don't have to watch this.
Depending on results the Roosters might get something out of a disastrous season by avoiding the wooden spoon but at worst they should send Fitzy out on a high. However they deserve the spoon so you can’t really predict that will change.
Everybody is telling me the Knights are morals because the ex players have their end of year reunion, but backing up from Monday against Penrith might not be that easy. I'm tipping an upset here. I know the Panthers were awful last week but they can turn it around with a click of the finger.
Brisbane don't play until Sunday night but the wait will be worth it. They have stopped Saints, Cowboys and Penrith in the past 3 weeks and Canberra had their big game Monday so will probably still be thinking about that. Broncos morals of the weekend
BEST BET BRISBANE
NEXT BEST MANLY TOYOTA CUP
SNEAKY OUTSIDER PENRITH
Enjoy the footy
