Haha, out early again - though the Storm didn't actually lose so at least I wasn't too far off picking a winner.

Standing:

Simon: Panthers
NUFAN: Broncos
luffy: Broncs
Clapo: Panthers
Burgey: Rabbits
James90: Brisbane
Ausage: Cowboys
Vimes: Bunnies
chaminda: Broncos
Blewy: Cowboys
Is pretty straight forward.

NUFAN, Luffy, Chaminda and I can't pick North Queensland this week.
Simon and Clapo can't pick Souths.
Burgey and Vimes can't pick Titans.
Ausauge and Blewy can't pick Melbourne.

Bulldogs for me. Two wins in a row for the Tigers is far too consistent so there's no chance of three.

Think it polices itself tbh, were all honest gents and if someone breaks the thing in error then they can be called on it and make an alternate pick...specially considering most pick on the tuesday after the matches.

I think Parra winning last night shows why we dont need the rule saying you can only back a team to lose once. Upsets are always going to happen in the NRL and can help trim the field massively in this comp when they happen.

May be introduced in next running of comp after a straw poll, not fair to change rules halfway thru.
