Melbourne in a close one, well closer than last week.
Broncos should be good enough if they pull up ok from the trip to Perth.
Sharks as dogs v Penrith? Sharks!
Manly by lots.
Warriors fairly easily.
Bulldogs bounce back
Souffs will probably embarrass the tigpies.
Cowboys will continue the MNF dog trend. Like Penrith, Canberra beat a rabble of a side and are getting too much love from the bookies imo.

#8 Posted: 3/27/2012 5:19:16 AM Melbourne v Newcastle - tough. Bennett mostly stayed loyal to the pack that crushed the Dogs. Cuthbertson on the bench where he belongs. Uate back. Gids at half and Mullen 5/8, where he should have been 4 years ago. But Newcastle's record in Melbourne is woeful and they are on a short turnaround.
Broncos v Saints - Saints with the points maybe. Broncos were great last week but that may have flattened them.
Riff v Sharks - darn knows
Plegics v Manly - Manly
Rooters v Warriors - Warriors getting no respect because they are away. Rooters are rubbish.
Titans v Dogs - Would be all over the Titans if Prince was fit. darn knows.
Tigers v Souths - Souths if they can play 80 minutes, which I'm not sure they can.
Raiders v Cowboys - Raiders

#9 Posted: 3/27/2012 5:57:00 AM I wouldnt take too much out of the Dogs Knights game...
We lost out half back after 10 minutes and our ball control was absolutely disgusting........
We made it easy for the knights......Most teams would have beaten us on Sunday......Just didnt turn up |

Newcastle were on top before Hodkinson went down. Dogs were garbage, Knights were much improved.
Knights were trash against the Broncos.
Dogs looked lost when Trent went off and if Reynolds is your answer, god help you. |

AB, you should know by now, that if your team doesnt turn up on the night, it doesnt matter who where what or how, it wont matter.
The fact that we dropped the ball, every second set shows that we didnt turn up on the day.
Just like i didnt take too much away from the dragons game when we beat them, they also didnt turn up that night....
I wouldnt get too excited over the win against us on Sunday.....we completed something like 55% of our sets.... |

why ? Prince has played like a busted behind for more than a year now.
I also think there's some substance to those rumours that surfaced last season about Prince being unpopular with the group 
Wouldn't surprise me at all if they play better without him this weekend.

Agreed i was working out at the game and the dogs and crowd were flat as a tack, one of the slowest poorest ganes of the year |

Yeah, I thought it was a bit of an oxymoron when I wrote it..
Haven't seen the Titans this year but if he's playing like he was last year I retract this |

Sharks moved to +2
Parra to +10
Might have to make an early play on the Sharks & Warriors today. Tigers +7.5 is a pretty good option too I would think |
