Bulldog @ Sea Eagle
A quite tough match to call, but as I mentioned last week Manly this year has been very inconsistent, and 3 of their 7 losses this year came from teams in the bottom of the ladder(Eel, Panthers, Knight). Brookvale surely is their favorite ground but I expect the red-hot doggies to come in and suck the life out of home fans. Brett Steward provides Manly with a sharp offensive weapon and they surely will miss him tonight. Barba is on song, and the better team should prevail.
Pick: Bulldog ML.
Broncos @ Titan
Though the Titan had been in form lately, but winning against a sloppy raider side cannot quite prove their worth. With Bird and Champ still out of the line up and Broncos should take full advantage. Broncos this year has constantly finds a way to win which has been very impressive, especially after the departure of the greatest player Lockyer, and I am going with the obvious here.
Pick: Bronco -6
Essendon @ Geelong
Funny how Geelong is fighting for their top 8 spot now after claiming the flag last year, and their most potent win this season is a 2 points victory over the hawk. other wins came from sides like Sun, Giants, Bulldog, Power or Blues. Both team have some injury problems and I am going to ride with the Bombers here.
Picks: Bombers -3.5
