Last Man Standing: NRL 2009-2013

Really hard round. Canterbury. Might go and put some money on the Sharks now because I keep getting first ballers in this.

Rough round this one. Faders.

Lucky I went Warriors, it was the only tip I got this week.

Sea Eagles for next week.

 

[Somerset]

...it's quality not quantity that matters.

Indeed, I think its fair to say theres a lack of quality in my tips for this competition...

 

[Burgey]

un-Manly

Penrith here.

Nudges to Vimes, PEWS, BiB, ripper & Stedders too.

Bunnies.

Manly

[morgieb]

Haha, looks like everyone's wrong except ripper (and possibly Vimes and PEWS, if they can be arsed tipping.)

 

[morgieb]

No-one makes it past the 2nd round.

He's not wrong, you know. Everyone falls at the second hurdle, so it's an eight-way tie.
