Last week was easily Newcastle's best performance of the year. They were very, very good and didn't let Manly get into the game at all.

How they follow that performance up across the ditch, well, that's the lottery.

Warriors only showed up for the first 20 minutes.

Strange round.

Rough couple of nights. Two most overrated teams in the comp this year - Warriors and Dragons. Both are poorly coached and get way too much respect from the linesmakers.

adding...

Canberra Raiders at Cronulla Sharks

The play...

Raiders +6.5 (2 units)

Raiders need to win if they're any hope of playing Finals footy. Sharks need to win to get on the 4th rung of the ladder. Cronulla off a bash 'em up game last Monday versus the Chooks, so a bit of a letdown spot. Only concern is Dugan returning may mess up the chemistry a little.

Raiders 3-1 SU (4-0 ATS) off a home loss this season...

Realised that after I posted. It's my birthday today so I'm a little disorientated on cognac and the like...
