Geez, I hope I didn't steer you away from a winner.

I'm sure you wouldn't do that on purpose sportznut.

No way!!!

Sports,
Put some on the Warriors to win at home...didn't take my own advice and stay away from the game...if the Warriors think that they can carry on with Jones as the pivot and a lack of depth in the subs...they are doubtful to make the finals...Anderson needs to make some hard decisions but something tells me he is gambling on his faith with Jones...he is not even 50% of the player he was 2 years ago. Knights were focussed and the team showed lots of courage and carried out Hagan's game plan to the T. Great game...wish they showed the same determination last week against the Dragons LOL!

Desi,

It's what I call the "Bounce Back Factor", and it's an important thing in team sport.

When a team gets thrashed one week and is heavily criticised for their effort, they often come out and win the following week as complete underdogs.

Last week, the Knights were awful against the Dragons and got smashed. Well, after getting bagged for that performance and criticised for being just a one man team, they certainly had plenty of ammunition to get fired up for this game. Also, nobody really expected them to win this week, so they had nothing to lose.

By the way, the bounce back factor was also at work with St George last week too. If you remember they got thrashed by Melbourne the week before.

Geez, the Sharks are awful! :roll:

Sports,
Thought the Cowboys had a lot more determination this time (bounced back) but yes those Sharks are ************ awful...the standard seems to be getting wider between the top and bottom teams...other than the Panthers...your guess is as good as mine as to who will win the other games...Wests and Souths the way things are going...my NRL footy picking has got off to a bad start LOL...

.... Lol... ever since i started posting here my gambling bank has gone from +300 to +100...

Bit of a throw away bet but if manly score the first try i will have covered my losses for the weekend and if bulldogs score the first try i will have only lost another 20.

I like those odds :smile:...

I hope you take notice of who the ref is when you take that option of 1st scoring play. some ref's like to blow there whistle from the kick off, hayne archer lyons, but with clark, he likes to let it run a bit so you should be o'kay. I always check the ref first when i back this option.

cheers

Didn't change my mind in the parra/ souths game, rabbits goal $7.25. you ************ little ripper !

cheers
