Next years NRL winners?

[tigerboi]

hi wysiwyg,mate i tried to post my first 2 weeks tips but you are only allowed 5 images & it said i had 64,even the green ticks not allowed(mod any chance to upgrade the amount of images on the page for tips?75 thanks).

Anyway its only 2 weeks old but last year i missed 2 weeks(kids fault!) & finished in the top 5,000,its not the best tipping im in,going for $5,000
elsewhere with 55 others!top odds.

Penrith cost me big time last year & will get the spoon again for not looking to the future in respect of players,they let go gower(yep good decision,but also young wallace.)

I cant understand the wallace let go as he is a kid they skilled up,broncos said yoo hoo no probs we will have him,& oh buy the way here is an old prop civoniceva.(good prop but broncos won that deal)

A good young halfback like wallace is what penrith could have built a very good side around,by off loading gower,puletuas,wesser,priddis then you already got your young guns stepping up,penrith going nowhere & i'll make this prediction now if penrith get beat this week(tigers next,roosters,sharks) the the coach will get the ****.

Look at what tim sheens did at the tigers,when he got there they had no money but he said to steve noyce the club manager cut out the dead wood,use the salary cap money(not the maximum $3.2)to keep the young blokes here,sheens said we will be finals contenders in 4-5 years,laurie daley laughed at him!true

The first 2 years they finished 9th & 11th,then the junior recruitment( & the no frills guys like kapow halatau!!,whatuira, harrison,galea,fitzhenry.)policy started to bear fruit with benji marshall,dean collis,farah then in the last 2 years you have tuiaki,lawrence(he will captain australia one day.),ben te'o who the tigers have brought along slowly.(big strong 2nd rower)

The latest sheens whiz kid is 19 year old tim moltzen who has slotted into benjis 5/8 role like a veteran,go look at his game v the cowboys last week,his step to score,his passing game.looking for a big year from the tigers,remember the name tim moltzen.big things ahead...tb

Penrith cost me big time last year & will get the spoon again for not looking to the future in respect of players,they let go gower(yep good decision,but also young wallace.)

And the highlander, what`s his name Clinton the Barbarian.Have yet to see him play and has worn green and gold before.Hope he feels at home in a team with grunt.

 

[yo yo ma]

so my tips are:

Eels,roosters,raiders,sharks,penrith,the tigers,warriors.

TB
I like your analysis, so, for my first post on the forum, I'm going to take your tips. They were along mine lines anyway but I was unsure of a few... I won't say thanks just yet though

Planning on coming back to reality any time soon?:

Everyone knows Parra choke in prelims for starters

 

[tigerboi]

I did say they would get beat in the grand final,so its a grand final my kids would love to see & if they hadnt gone down 0-29 to the cowboys in 2005 it would have happened.

I do think parramatta will make the top 4 this year,they look to have the right combo of 4 forwards on the bench,now that tj marsh has gone to the broncos.(i think he shouldve been starting hooker)

I here on the late news that over at penrith there is player discontent,looks like my prediction of eliott getting the ar5se might be spot on in rd.4?

who do you go for??...tb

No one really, don't really follow it with much passion, prefer AFL.

Used to be the Raiders, but since Gold Coast has come back in follow them a bit.

 

[tigerboi]

TB see Benji has a new nickname ''TAMPON'' in one week out for 3

yep old one old mate but its ok,look at his replacement 19 year old australian schoolboys 5/8 tim moltzen,watch this kid play..

Benji did a knee so thats just bad luck,but mate i wouldnt care if he dont ever play a game,he is a hero for the tigers,won us the comp.i waited 32 years for the tigers(i was a baby in '69)to win a comp,grew up in leichhardt,played in the juniors,followed them since i was an ankle biter & went to the amco cup every wednesday night,benji big hero in tiger town.

Benjis shoulder problems stem from his tackling technique or as my dad would say"dont shake hands with them benji,bury them!"he goes too high in the tackle,if you look at the 2nd time he did his shoulder he was defending on the wing but from a tap penalty he has a runaway forward going at him,its all technique.

When i was a junior the balmain 1st graders would come down to our training at leichhardt no 2,players like allan mcmahon,larry corowa(the black flash what an excitement machine,every time he got the ball, the grandstand side before the grandstand was built,everyone whould stand up),28 tries in his debut year,the fastest footballer ever,he beat the australian 100m champion.

Neil pringle the tigers lock,i used to copy his ron coote style cover defence(i was a fullback)low grass cutters,bang over they go,dont matter who it is they will go down,benji mate its the technique...tb

 

[tigerboi]

going on the team TB can you find a spot for Matt Rogers & Dannielle (Daniel) Roach

I did think of matt rogers but how would he play against his dad?(dead)

As for blocker roach the tiger legend,his young bloke hasnt cracked 1st grade yet so maybe he can cut the oranges,but have you seen dan roach? chip of the old blocker,put it this way.id love his head full of diamonds!!...tb

Eels better prepared for Knights: Hagan
By Philip Henderson
AAP

Parramatta coach Michael Hagan is confident there will be no repeat of the Eels' 2007 shocker against Newcastle on Friday night.
Hagan's Eels were humiliated 34-10 by the Knights in round 17 last year in the first, and only, meeting between the NRL teams since both he and Newcastle mentor Brian Smith switched clubs.
Parramatta were sitting fourth at the time, while Smith's Knights were battling fiercely to avoid the wooden spoon.
Despite coming off a disappointing loss to the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland on Sunday, Hagan insisted his side was in better shape to face the Knights at Parramatta Stadium than they were nine months ago.
"I'd like to think it's a slightly different situation," Hagan said.
"Last year I think we were coming off a bye and something like 14 days off without a game.
"This time it's round three and we know we've got to do a lot better than last week."
Newcastle's win at Parramatta last season was a rare highlight in a tumultuous year for both the Knights and Smith, who spent a decade in charge of the Eels before his acrimonious split in 2006.
While going as far to say Friday's clash would be "special", Smith this week said he had been around long enough to know not to put too much emphasis on the match.
"It's always special, I think that goes for everybody in professional sport," Smith said.
"It's nice when you go back to somewhere you've been before, you've got a bit of a point to prove I suppose.
"But I've coached 600 games of footy and been at a few clubs, so I think I've learned they're all worth two points at the end of the day and you get on with it."
Halfback Tim Smith will line-up in Eels colours for the first time this season after a troubled off-season which saw him undergo shoulder surgery and spend time in a Gold Coast rehabilitation clinic following a string of alcohol-related incidents.
Test backrower Nathan Hindmarsh, despite the death of his father on Wednesday, is also set to return for the Eels after missing Sunday's loss with a virus.
Hindmarsh was absent from the Eels' final training session but has vowed to play.
Hagan, though, said if Hindmarsh changed his mind, the players and club would support the decision.
"Initially he's said he'll play, but having been through that myself it does take a bit to sort out and come game day he'll go through a whole range of emotions," Hagan said.
"If he's fit and wants to play, I'm happy for him to play, but if he doesn't feel that he can, we understand that too.
"It's obviously a difficult time for him and his family ... but I'm sure the boys will rally around him tomorrow if he does decide to play

See how things go wont we this weekend??nothing like having confidence in your own team,you didnt even know who they were playing???

Absolute shocker mate, no excuses !
Even spoke to some mates who are going to the game.

here is some parra info for tonights game v newcastle,by the way if you want to back the puppies with me now is your chance,puppies are $2.10,tigers $1.70...parra are $1.36 newcastle..$3.00,2/1 in a 2 horse race or 100% overs...tb

How exactly?
Maybe after this weekend we could set up a tipping comp online ($50 or $100each)
I guess it would have to be an honesty policy unless an account was set up.

fwiw
parra 22 knights 16
dogs 18 tigers 14
